Oh my... That reminds us of that file of the worst coverage. > > For Mac your solution is probably OK. I don't think client-server works > on Mac. > Well, by default, you're right. But after XQuartz is installed, ./configure --disable-darwin --disable-gui && make detects the X11 there automatically, and builds a vim having +clientserver (The --disable-gui option is not essential, actually). With the vim which was built like that way, do ./vim --servername FOOBAR on a terminal. Then, on another terminal, ./vim --servername FOOBAR --remote if_xcmdsrv.c makes the first vim instance open the file given to it. So...looks like you have had me open up a can of worms twice this week, haven't you?...wait...It's me who triggered them.
