MacVim

NOTE: use the same Ruby version to compile MacVim and Command-T!
manually
if you don’t specify Ruby version with ASDF_RUBY_VERSION
, Ruby version from
~/.tool-versions is used.
if system Ruby version and Ruby version from ~/.tool-versions differ, prefer system Ruby because its version changes less frequently.
MacVim:
$ ASDF_RUBY_VERSION=system ./configure --enable-rubyinterp \
--enable-pythoninterp \
--enable-perlinterp \
--enable-cscope
$ ASDF_RUBY_VERSION=system make
Command-T:
$ ASDF_RUBY_VERSION=system ruby extconf.rb && make
via Homebrew
MacVim Homebrew formula has ruby
dependency but current Ruby version in
Homebrew is 2.6.5. MacVim bottle (binary package) must have been compiled
against this Ruby version => it’s necessary to install Ruby 2.6.5 locally
too to compile Command-T extension so that Ruby versions match.
MacVim:
$ asdf plugin-update ruby
$ asdf install ruby 2.6.5
$ asdf global ruby 2.6.5
$ brew install macvim
Command-T:
$ ruby extconf.rb && make
NOTE: even when building MacVim from source (brew install macvim --HEAD
),
Ruby installed via Homebrew is used => it doesn’t make sense to set specific
Ruby version with ASDF_RUBY_VERSION
or via ~/.tool-versions - it will be
ignored.

:h macvim-prefs
(in vim)
set preferences
in general preferences are set by specifying their type and value:
$ default write org.vim.MacVim MMShowAddTabButton -bool false
in most cases, I guess, type can be omitted:
$ default write org.vim.MacVim MMShowAddTabButton 0
$ default write org.vim.MacVim MMShowAddTabButton false
reset current preferences
$ defaults delete org.vim.MacVim
show current preferences
$ defaults read org.vim.MacVim
