Hi all,
In previous fedora releases vi would display the cursor position as "row number" "character position" in the bottom right of the display. In f14's release of vi this is no longer true.
I've looked through the command reference and don't see any way to restore that behavior.
Is this something lost from the compiled distribution or is there some *:set* method that will turn it back on and, if so, would somebody share the magic formula?
You need the 'vim-enhanced' package installed, ':set ruler' will then work. Your PATH should then find '/usr/bin/vim' in preference to '/bin/vi'.
@Hiisi, John,
Thanks, that was it. Apparently the base install only provides vim-minimal.
