this repo is a hack to run Vim in a UEFI environment.
at the time of writing, you can build VIM.EFI on debian 11 (bullseye).
you will need at least git, make and gcc. TODO: finish documenting what's needed
sudo apt install build-essential nasm mtools gdisk
to build VIM.EFI clone this repo and execute make
.
git clone --depth=1 --recursive https://github.com/mischief/efivim
cd efivim
make
to run VIM.EFI, copy vim.efi
to the ESP and execute it from your UEFI shell.
to try out VIM.EFI in qemu, execute make qemu
, and type 'vim' in the UEFI shell prompt.
originally whipped up by ya boy @mischief when he should have been doing real work at his day job
thank you, @brammool for making an exellent text editor, and for helping those poor Ugandan children.
shout out to @mjg59 - stay cool brother.
