If you hack gvim then yes. However I think you can't touch the main typing area easily because it basically is a terminal or such. > > The other way should be easy: create a window and embed Vim and your > > other X application. > could you point me to an existing example? I don't have one. I mean you could create a gtk/qt app +========================+ | TITLE | +========================+ | | | | VIM | YOUR | | | GUI | | | | +========================+ Then you have to xembed vim at the left and tell it how to display a gui at the right (maybe using xembed again). I never used xembed so I don't know exactly how it works. glancing at some docs found by google it seemed to me being possible. Marc Weber -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
