Add vim to the right-click menu

 

Every time you use vim, you need to enter the corresponding directory from the terminal and open the file for editing. This is always very troublesome, so I searched the internet to add vim to the right-click menu, which is very simple and easy to use.

 

The steps are as follows:

 

1. Use vim to open defaults. list and replace all gedit. desktop with vim. desktop.

 

Command: sudo vim/etc/gnome/defaults. list

 

: % S/gedit. desktop/vim. desktop/g

 

2. Create a vim. desktop file under/usr/share/applications.

 

Command: sudo vim/usr/share/applications/vim. desktop

 

The content is as follows:

 

[Desktop Entry]

Encoding = UTF-8

Type = Application

Exec = vim % f

Icon =/usr/share/vim/vim48x48.png

Name = Vim

Terminal = true

NoDisplay = true

 

In this way, the vim On-Demand menu item appears in the right-click menu.
