Does anybody know how to get gvim to really print the expression
result from --remote-expr to stdout, as it says in the docs. I always
get an "error" popup with the results (although the expression wasn't
a failure, the error popup just seems to be the default).
Use vim (the console version) as the client instead of gvim. (On Unix
you can use the same executable, but make sure to invoke it as "vim",
not as "gvim".) It's not an "error" popup, it's just that until the GUI
opens, the GUI version of Vim (i.e., gvim) uses popups to display what
would otherwise go in the "command line" display area. Try invoking gvim
with --version or --help and you'll get the corresponding output as a
popup, instead of on stdout as in console vim.
Best regards,
