Then I think that you are on the wrong list. You should go to xdg. Similar things have been done for Audio players, notification system on the cross desktop lists: having a common dbus interface. KDE already has the abstraction of a text editor, it's called a texteditor kpart. The implementation is very specific to KDE but the interface is generic enough that it could be used as basis for a cross-dekstop editor interface. There's probably something similar on the Gnome side. I recently also found a kind of generic editor interface on MacOs X: http://www.barebones.com/support/develop/odbsuite.shtml What you want is define a generic editor interface at the dbus level, then every editor could implement it and be remotely controllable by DBUS. It could be nice to have that level of unification. For the specific case of Vim, once you have your dbus interface written, it should fairly easy to implement it using the netbeans socket protocol of Vim, without even the need to patch Vim. cheers, Philippe --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
