Vim-common 7.1.291 - The common files needed by any version of the VIM editor.

VIM (VIsual editor iMproved) is an updated and improved version of the vi editor. Vi was the first real screen-based editor for UNIX, and is still very popular. VIM improves on vi by adding new features: multiple windows, multi-level undo, block highlighting and more. The vim-common package contains files which every VIM binary will need in order to run.

If you are installing vim-enhanced or vim-X11, you'll also need to install the vim-common package.
