Hi.
Often I attempt to edit a file, vim informs me it's already being
edited, then i go clipboard-copy the PID reported by vim -> ps -eH|grep
<pasted PID> -> chvt <found tty>. This is far from effective.
I suggest automating of this process: vim would
(1) display the tty the swapfile owner occupies[1]
(2) offer chvt-ing to the tty among the action choices:
> [O]pen Read-Only, (E)dit anyway, (R)ecover, (Q)uit, Quit & (G)o there
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[1] Maybe other information would be useful, too, when we are at it
I was able to make a very crude, unportable and ugly patch for (1); (2)
clearly demands more coding expertise than I have. I really don't
understand that heap of functions and macros (not that I understood C
proper much).
I wonder whether I shouldn't have been sending this directly to the
upstream?
Cheers,
Jan.

thanks
As discussed on IRC, although this feature is desireable, there is not
an easy way to do this portably. Also, such an unportable (and of
limited use, being VT-specific) implementation as suggested in the
submission is very unlikely to be accepted upstream.
There exists $VIMRUNTIME/macros/editexisting.vim for achieving such
functionality when using gvim. This script may possibly be extended
to detect other environments which could easily be handled as well, but
that is left up to the user.
