MacVim dont't have lion or moutain lion style native scrollbar still.

I turned them off completely. I found that the line numbers and file position in the status line was more than enough to get my bearings, and it looks nicer without the scrollbars.

In ~/.gvimrc:

  " no toolbar
  set go-=T
  " no right scrollbar
  set go-=r
  " no left scollbar
  set go-=L

nice! thank you

You can put those on one line...and I do the same. :)

Only if the order is the same. E.g.

  :set go=aAcegimtv
  :set go-=vtmigecAa
  :set go? " guioptions=aAcegimtv

You can do it like this, though:

  set go-=T go-=r go-=L

Interesting that the vim docs say nothing of order.

Hi!

Are you sure? Check out my build: https://github.com/rcarmo/macvim/releases/tag/7.4

EDIT: link to fixed release.

It doesn't open for me on Mountain Lion 10.8. There is no window. I've tried to open it from terminal and it gives an error with:

$ ./MacVim dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/liblua.5.1.5.dylib Referenced from: /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim Reason: image not found

Hmm. I guess turning on Lua was a bad idea. Apparently forcing a static build didn't work right. Will be fixed in around 20m.

EDIT: fixed! Disabled Lua for now, I have both my own build and brew's installed, and it will take some time to sort out.

Thank you very much. I'm the author of subvim (https://github.com/fatih/subvim) . And if this works fine I will promote this as the go-to editor to use subvim.

That would be grand. I've been using this for a few months now, and everything works OK - it was only this build that included Lua support (since I enabled it locally for myself a while back), but I've already tested the fixed binary on another Mac with no ill effects. Just grab a fresh DMG from the same place.

Works fine, thank you very much for the work!

Do you have any email that I can contact you? There is no in your github profile

Google me, it's easy :)

I always disable scrollbars in my .vimrc. Fullscreen MacVim is wonderful! Sometimes I open up to 8 windows and jump between them. I found the scrollbars more of a distraction and nuisance than they were helpful.
