Próbowałem użyć vima na FreeBSD (przez ssh na terminalu kompatybilnym z Linux xterm). Jednak vim zachowuje się podobnie jak vi po wyjęciu z pudełka. Na przykład nie reaguje na klawisz usuwania, wstawia znak F zamiast przechodzić w górę w trybie wstawiania itp.
Na FreeBSD X11 nie jest zainstalowany.
