Hi Bram,I am developing a collaborative plain text editor, and that would be a collaborative Vim. Several people can edit the same file concurrently. That would be very exciting, right? To serve this purpose, I need a way of communication from my process to Vim. I know that we can use OLE automation to send a command to Vim. I successfully created one pair OLE communication: one process sending command to a Vim instance (Currently I am using gvim). But, I would like to have multiple file which can be edited concurrently. My current implementation is to use one Vim instance and several buffers. However, for editing non current buffer, we have to open that particular buffer and do the update. Here, the context-switch between buffer is unbearable. My question: is there a way to edit buffer silently? without having to open the buffer first. Otherwise, is that possible if I can have multiple Vim instance which can serve OLE automation server for each instance? Currently, I can only launch gvim process which can serve as OLE server. Looking forward to seeing your help.
