I use my .vimrc file on my laptop (OS X) and several servers (Solaris & Linux), and could hypothetically someday use it on a Windows box. I know how to detect unix generally, and windows, but how do I detect OS X? (And for that matter, is there a way to distinguish between Linux and Solaris, etc. And is there a list somewhere of all the strings that 'has' can take? My Google-fu turned up nothing.)
For instance, I'd use something like this:
if has("mac")
" open a file in TextMate from vi: "
nmap mate :w<CR>:!mate %<CR>
elseif has("unix")
" do stuff under linux and "
elseif has("win32")
" do stuff under windows "
endif
But clearly "mac" is not the right string, nor are any of the others I tried.
