It would be really helpful if MacVim had a variant defined that installed symlinks to these (plus vi and ex) in addition to the GUI versions, so that way `vim` in the Terminal ran the exact same Vim that `mvim` does. I know I can install the `vim` port, but that would be a separate installation of Vim, which is not only wasted space but also has the potential to be configured differently or updated independently of MacVim (which I view as a downside; my Vim setup is predicated on certain configurations being available, such as +lua, and CLI and MacVim should behave the same here). FWIW HomeBrew has this option (--with-override-system-vim)." enhancement closed Normal ports fixed MacVim
