NAME

    vdvim - Launch a minimal vim/gvim with VimDebug development files.

SYNOPSIS

    vdvim [-g] [-m] [$some_file_to_edit]

DESCRIPTION

This program is useful for VimDebug developers to try out things. It launches Vim with the VimDebug development code with no interference whatsoever from any other Vim module or setup, since it loads no vimrc files nor any plugins but the VimDebug one (and 'savemap', that is supplied with and required by VimDebug).

Use the '-g' option to launch 'gvim' instead of 'vim'. Use the '-m' option to have an existing mapping on <F12> (it will just echo the string "f12") before loading VimDebug.

Note that this program expects to find the VimDebug development code relative to where it itself is located on disk, so if you copy it or move it around, you may need to fix its code accordinly.
