[gvim: vim variant?]

[Maxim Abalenkov]

Dear all,

How are you? I hope all is well with you. I need your help please. I mostly work in the terminal and use vim as my text editor. But occasionally I need a text editor with a graphical user interface. I have heard good things about ‘gvim’. Would you please tell me, how to install ‘gvim’ with MacPorts? Is it one of the ‘vim’ port’s variants? Executing

port variants vim

returns multiple options:

* athena: Build GUI version using Athena widgets
* gtk2: Build GUI version using GTK 2.x widgets
* gtk3: Build GUI version using GTK 3.x widgets
* motif: Build GUI version with Motif widgets

Can you please tell me, how do they differ and which one would you recommend? Thank you for your help and have a good weekend ahead!
