MacVim is the macOS port of the Vim text editor, providing a native graphical interface for Vim with tight macOS integration. It supports menus, full-screen modes, trackpad gestures, Touch Bar, and Command key shortcuts mapped to Vim actions.
Use cases
- edit code in vim on a mac with a native gui
- macvim with full screen and trackpad gesture support
- graphical vim editor for macOS
- use vim keybindings in a native mac app
- edit plain text and source files on macOS with vim
When to choose
- you want Vim with a native macOS GUI, menus, and full-screen support
- you prefer Vim editing but want macOS integration like Touch Bar and Command key mappings
When to avoid
- you are on Linux or Windows rather than macOS
- you prefer a terminal-only Vim without a GUI
- you need actively maintained software - this fork's latest release is from 2017; consider macvim-dev/macvim instead
