I am trying to set up Powershell as shell in GVIM on Windows.
When I do :!ls, I get a vimrun.exe window with the command I am running, which seems to be doing nothing. It stays like that until I close it.
My .vimrc configuration:
set shell=powershell
set shellcmdflag=-command
set shellquote=\"
set shellxquote=
Nothing interferes with it: when I do :verbose set shell? shellcmdflag? shellquote? shellxquote? I get the values set above.
When I remove vimrun.exe from %PATH%, I get a Powershell window, which is just empty (no output in it) with same behavior.
The command itself is fine - when I execute it manually from cmd, it works as expected.
When Vim shell is set to cmd, everything works as expected as well.
There are questions that may seem related, but are not same:
- gvim on windows 7 - vimrun.exe doesn't run command
(very similar problem, but withshell=cmd, which is not my case) - Vim with Powershell
- Using PowerShell as VIM shell
- powershell as gvim(vim) :shell
