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.
