Scripts not working on Gvim

Hi, I'm a new Arch user.

I hadn't any problems with using it until now. I'm using GVim from the official Arch repo and sometimes Vi. The problem is that GVim doesn't see any of default plugins (like Vimball or Netrw), but the Vi does (even if I don't have any .vimrc or .gvimrc). And if I exec :scriptnames in Gvim, it lists all the plugins (just like Vi).

Could anybody tell me what's wrong?

Sorry for my bad English, I'm from Poland

Re: Scripts not working on Gvim

GVim expects a .gvimrc. What I do is a symbolic link to .vim and that does it.
BTW if you want to have separate settings for vim/gvim you can copy vim into .vim then rename it gvim and put there whatever settings you like for gvim and make the symlink to .vim/gvim.

Hope this helps.

Re: Scripts not working on Gvim

I've created a blank .vimrc and GVim started to load default scripts, weird.

Anyway, thanks for help
