I looked into doing that (I also used VisVim in previous versions of VS), but what I ended up doing was adding Vim as an external tool in the Tools menu of VS with the following arguments: -c "exe $(CurLine)" "$(ItemPath)" I also assigned a keyboard shortcut to it. Now, if I select a file in the solution explorer in VS and hit the keyboard shortcut, Vim is opened with the right file. If I already have a file open in the VS editor, I can hit the shortcut and it is opened in Vim on the right line. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing, and it works well for me. If you or anybody else decides to make a tighter integration I would be very interested. -- Be seeing you.
