I installed vim via homebrew and have been using it in the terminal. However, it would be a lot more convenient for me if I could use vim like a GUI application (that means, text editing in another window and not inside the terminal window)
How can I achieve that? I know that there is a GUI version of vim but since I installed it via homebrew it wouldn't be a good idea to install the that one as well.
Is it possible to create some kind of alias that starts the vim gui version?
You can install MacVim, either with homebrew (with this formula) or simply by downloading an official build.
