All the Windows environment variables are read by Vim and they are available in Vim as Vim environment variables. Vim environment variables begin with the character $
. Hence, the Windows environment variable name is prefixed with the $
character when it becomes a Vim environment variable.
For example, the Windows environment variable %USERPROFILE%
will be available as $USERPROFILE
inside Vim.
This post shows how you can list all the environment variables or view the value of a particular variable.
