Vim not working correctly on nemo user

vim is not part of a default SFOS installation. A standard vi works well without the mentioned problems. Apart from that, I'd suspect a broken .vimrc.

I wanted to have highlighting, that's why I installed it. And why ship they /etc/vimrc broken? I really have no .vimrc anywhere in the user dirs.

I just installed vim and it works pretty well.

It installs a fine version of /etc/vi*rc, diff says only

-" filetype plugin on
+filetype plugin on

-" let &guicursor = &guicursor . ",a:blinkon0"
+let &guicursor = &guicursor . ",a:blinkon0"

Have you installed vim-ehanced, too? It's needed for syntax highlighting.

I just did

pkcon install vim-enhanced

as
