New issue 189 by [email protected]: Windows Vim installer adds "Edit
with Vim" to Explorer context menus, but not to web-browser context menus
http://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=189
The Windows Vim installer offers an option called "Add an Edit-with-Vim
context menu entry". When enabled, this option affects Windows Explorer,
but doesn't affect any installed web browsers.
It's not so hard to add such a command to Firefox. But it's very hard to
add such a command to Google Chrome.
The best solution may be for the installer to offer to help users install
the freeware utility "Text Editor Anywhere". The installer can offer two
options, labeled as follows:
1. Windows Explorer integration: "Edit with Vim"
2. Web browser integration: "Text Editor Anywhere"
If the user requests option 2, then after Vim is fully installed, the
installer should silently send the user to
<http://www.listary.com/text-editor-anywhere>.
