Re: Vim on Debian Mint Linux

    "Does it do PDFs as on Windows?"

If you mean, edit the PDF as a text file, leaving the encoded elements as is, the response is yes.


For any Debian-based system, the method to install is to open a shell in a terminal and enter the command,

  • sudo apt-get install vim-gtk3 (vim-gui-common)

Or look for the vim-gtk3 package from within Synaptic, and install that way.
