Some function, perhaps SendCmd2Vim("string"). That way it'll be simple
for folks to make their
own external programs to send a command to vim via the already available
remote vim stuff.
Presumably the code snippet wouldn't be a Part of Vim itself; maybe
something for vim.sf.net?
Just an idea...

A similar sample code for MS-Windows is needed.

Seems grossly inefficient: with this call one is bringing up both a new
shell and a new vim,
although the new vim probably doesn't do too much other than send the
command.

I don't know what you mean with "would you be willing".
src/if_xcmdsrv.c contains info for writing a C program. os_mswin.c also
has some code that can be used for Win32. It's not easy, of course.
I can't remember seeing a program that actually does this.

Not really. This is not something that happens inside Vim. Polling for
changes in the system is not really something I would like to add to Vim.

:call remote_send({server}, {string}[, {idvar}])
:let x = remote_expr({server}, {string}[, {idvar}])
etc.
For other programs: there are two protocols used: Windows and X11. You may
want to dig into the Vim source to see how it does it. The server code (or the
X11 server code?) is in src/if_xcmdsrv.c. The client code may be in eval.c or
something -- look for Vim functions with names starting "remote_" (or C
functions with names starting "f_remote_"). In the source I have here
(7.0.114) there is an #ifdef FEAT_CLIENTSERVER at eval_c line 13051.
Best regards,
Tony.

This is not something that happens inside Vim. Polling for changes in the system is not really something I would like to add to Vim. The windows api provides an easy way to be notified of such changes. It's just a WM_ message that you hook into by calling some function that I can't remember the name of. X11 and Gdk has something similar as well, but I've never used it. I have no idea if there's a good way to do it on other systems, though. (I'm guessing that OS X has something like this as well.) nikolai

Is it possible to add an autocommand-event for "Clipboard Changed"? Thanks, --Suresh
