In order to be able to bang out to run bash commands, I have this in my vimrc: shell=c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe\ -i This allows me to do things like !!ls or :w !cat However, this only works when I launch the Windows version of gvim from my Administrator account. When I try those commands from a non-administrator account, I get: shell return 127 bash: ls: command not found or shell return 127 bash: cat: command not found It actually took a while to recognize this pattern with the administrator account. I thought it would be simple to track down the cause after finding this. I thought I could simply set shell=c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe\ -i\ -v Then I could do echo the results of the shell-outs to register a and paste them somewhere: :redir @a !!ls :w !cat :redir END I confirmed that c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -i -v actually echos every gruesome detail by issuing it from the command line. However, setting vim's "shell" option to include the -v option *doesn't* seem to echo all the gruesome details regardless of whether I use an administrator or non-administrator account. 1. Can anyone suggest a cause and/or solution to the inability of the non-administrator to shell out? 2. What about why the -v option doesn't seem to work when included in vim's shell option? 3. Can anyone suggest another way to troubleshoot the inability of the non-administrator account to shell out?
