Try it to find out!

  • Install Termux from F-Droid
  • Open Termux, and run pkg install gvim. You might have to add the xorg repo - it will tell you what to do if you try running vim
  • Launch vim
  • You can checkout any time you like but you can never leave....

pkg install gvim

Why install the gui version?

pkg install vim

Only gvim is available in pkg, not vim. I had the same surprise when I didn't see vim.

This is from termux on my Android phone, not from my desktop/laptop.
