Package: vim
Version: 2:7.4.430-1
Severity: wishlist
Please consider shipping a file /usr/share/applications/vim.desktop,
with the following contents:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Vim
GenericName=Text editor
Exec=vim %F
Terminal=true
Type=Application
Icon=accessories-text-editor
Categories=Utility;TextEditor;
MimeType=text/plain;text/x-patch
StartupNotify=false
(Ideally, change the Icon= line to reference a Vim icon.)
This would make it easier to use Vim to open text files and patches, by
making it show up in various graphical interfaces as a program capable
of doing so.
