ballooneval in terminal vim
vim
Solution
From documentation:
m +balloon_eval balloon-eval support. Included when compiling with supported GUI (Motif, GTK, GUI) and either Netbeans/Sun Workshop integration or +eval feature.
It's not quite clear though, whether this imply that terminal mode does not support `ballooneval` at all (or it's available in terminal mode when GUI is compiled in), but there's no clues to do that in the documentation. So: it's highly unlikely that you can use `ballooneval` in the terminal mode without messing with the Vim sources.
Problem
I've been using pyclewn for debugging in `vim`. It works quite well on `gvim` with `ballooneval` to show the values of variables but the problem is I'm mostly using `vim` in a terminal so that I can't use the balloon feature. I have found this but it looks abondoned already and I couldn't make it work as there's no installation instructions. Does anyone know a way to use `ballooneval` in terminal vim?
