I have a number of aliased commands in my .bashrc and they work fine on the command line. However, if I use them in Vim, they do not work. For example:

:!mycommand

results in:

/binbash: mycommand: command not found

What is the explanation?

  • I suspect that it has something to do that vim invokes shells (e.g. requested by ! or system()) as non-interactive and non-login shell, which means .bashrc or .zshrc are not read. You could try making it interactive by setting 'shellcmdflag' to "-ic". – Hotschke Nov 17 '18 at 14:16

  • @Rich yes, that really is better. – Hotschke Nov 17 '18 at 15:42
