Indeed, that is very useful. $ mvim --servername DIR1 --remote-silent DIR1/foo.c $ mvim --servername DIR1 --remote-silent DIR1/bar.c $ mvim --servername DIR2 --remote-silent DIR2/quxx.c Gives two windows. Perhaps all that is needed is a nice wrapper script or alias around that. Personally I have :e aliases in my shell to 'mvim --remote-silent' currently, so for me $ :e --servername DIR1 DIR1/foo.c works. Fantastic. -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
