MacVim is a port of the text editor Vim to macOS that is meant to look better and integrate more seamlessly with the Mac than the older Carbon port of Vim. MacVim supports multiple windows with tabbed editing and a host of other features such as:

bindings to standard macOS keyboard shortcuts (⌘-Z, ⌘-V, ⌘-A, ⌘-G, etc.),
transparent backgrounds,
full-screen mode,
multibyte editing with macOS input methods and automatic font substitution,
ODB editor support,
and more...

Note: Requires 64-bit processor.
