Vim - the ubiquitous text editor

Vim is rock stable and is continuously being developed to become even better.
Among its features are:
- persistent, multi-level undo tree

Vim
9.2.0758
is the current version |
GTK4 GUI is available!
[2026-05-19]
The Vim project is happy to announce that the GTK 4 GUI has landed in Vim master!
Patch 9.2.0501 adds a new GUI backend built on the modern GTK 4 toolkit, available alongside the existing GTK 2 and GTK 3 backends.
The new GTK 4 backend is enabled at build time with --enable-gui=gtk4 and runs on both X11 and Wayland through GTK 4's native backends. GTK 3 remains the default when configuring with --enable-gui=auto, so existing builds are unaffected. The new backend is opt-in for now while it stabilises.
Please support Kuwasha to continue Bram's legacy in Uganda.
Happy Vimming!

Maintenance window for the Vim.org Homepage
[2026-05-13]
Due to required infrastructure changes, the Vim homepage will move to a new
hosting setup on Sunday, May 17, 2026.
During the migration, the website will temporarily be in read-only mode, so
updating Vim plugins will not be possible.
Thank you for your understanding.
Happy Vimming!
