Potential fix for issue #137 with random chars from vim on mac, helpful failure for -c without a file, added CTRL+O to README
I saw the same error on a similar Mac. I experimented a bit and I don't think this is related to the gocui library. Seems to have something to do with .vimrc settings causing vim to spit out weird data into stdout after shutdown:

Tough to ensure users have a good .vimrc, but one solution is to just not use the .vimrc if the editor is set to vim on a mac:
var cmd *exec.Cmd if editor == "vim" && runtime.GOOS == MAC_OS { cmd = exec.Command(editor, "-u", "NONE", file.Name()) } else { cmd = exec.Command(editor, file.Name()) }Not ideal but works. I also added a helpful failure message for running the -c flag and no file, rather than a seg fault.
