vim editor config

Additionally, you could add your own editors into the list that would launch as a shortcut when you type vim
Please note for anything outside of code or notepad you would need to add those to your PATH.

    $EDITOR='nvim'
} elseif (Test-CommandExists pvim) {
    $EDITOR='pvim'
} elseif (Test-CommandExists vim) {
    $EDITOR='vim'
} elseif (Test-CommandExists vi) {
    $EDITOR='vi'
} elseif (Test-CommandExists code) {
    $EDITOR='code'
} elseif (Test-CommandExists notepad) {
    $EDITOR='notepad'
} elseif (Test-CommandExists notepad++) {
    $EDITOR='notepad++'
} elseif (Test-CommandExists sublime_text) {
    $EDITOR='sublime_text'
}
Set-Alias -Name vim -Value $EDITOR

i am not sure if its only with my system but when i typed "vim" i am getting the following error

its working in normal powershell but launching it with windows terminal doesn't seem to work does they have different commands for execution ?

In this block of Chris's Script he is checking to see what is installed on your system to determine which editor to use.
if (Test-CommandExists nvim) { $EDITOR='nvim' } elseif (Test-CommandExists pvim) { $EDITOR='pvim' } elseif (Test-CommandExists vim) { $EDITOR='vim' } elseif (Test-CommandExists vi) { $EDITOR='vi' } Set-Alias -Name vim -Value $EDITOR

The options are Neovim

(I can only assume pvim is parasitic vim, and it uses the nimble library)

vim
https://www.vim.org/download.php
-or-
winget install vim.vim

vi
(I think you need to install cygwin to get this?)

So I think the best options would be to get neovim or vim installed.

@rajorshi-mandal Did this resolve your issue? If Not Please share what error messages you are getting now.

The Alternative if you do not mind having a "vim" alias, is that you can remove or comment out that chunk of code or at minimum the Set-Alias Line.

For all the EDITOR messages, just put this on line 133 just before the 'if (Test-CommandExists nvim) {'
So the editor will be notepad if none of the other commands exist.
$EDITOR="notepad.exe"
