Description
The MacVim app contains non-GUI versions of vim, vimdiff, and view. 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).
