I use vim in cmder occasionally. The only way I've been able to use it properly is to disable conemu hooks before I execute it.

Basically, I've defined a function my profile to:

* Save the ConEmuHooks environment variable value * Set it to "Off" * Execute vim * Reset it to the previous value

I alias this command to "vim".

It's not pretty at all, and it caused me to use Sublime or VSCode most of the time, but it worked for me.

Why would you do that when gvim is available and is ways better experience then vim ? For the sake of being shell purist ? On remote shell ?

I'll give this a shot, but I'm unclear how the hooks affect vim or other processes-does this address all of my vim+conemu problems? Thank you, in any event.
