Re: [arch-general] view command

i stumbled over view being a link to ex, and not to vim, as i am used to with several other distros (opensuse, debian). is there any particular reason for that behaviour?

FYI, you can use `vim -R` to explicity invoke Vim in read-only mode. Or even `alias view=vim -R` in your shell to override the symlink to /usr/bin/ex.
