If not on Windows, perhaps an autocommand to automatically raise Vim whenever it opens a file? In .vimrc: augroup AutoForeground au! au BufReadPost * :call foreground() augroup END I didn't mean raising, I meant creating a new Vim remote server if one doesn't exist yet. This is what silent means in the names of some of those command line arguments. Anyway, I think I end up with gvim --remote-tab-silent +cfile build.log build.log for now. It seems to do what I need with a nice side effect of opening the build log in a separate tab. Well, maybe it's actually nice since I do need to take a look at the log itself sometimes... We'll see.
