Hi Björn, There's a long discussion about this issue on this PeepOpen bug tracker issue: http://github.com/topfunky/PeepOpen-Issues/issues#issue/62 PeepOpen is an external application launched from vim. It offers up a nice efficient file dialog. Once a file is selected PeepOpen tells MacVim to open the file, which is where it hits this issue. For reference, here's how I typically use MacVim in order of frequency: 1. Open it from the dock, then ":cd <project-root>", then use PeepOpen to open various files under the project root. 2. Cd into the project directory from the command line then run mvim (though since this change I now run "mvim ."). 3. Open MacVim by clicking or right-clicking on files (typically source I've downloaded to check out) in Finder. Here are some suggestions that might help (any of which would solve this issue for PeepOpen users specifically): 1. Disable the feature as soon as any command is typed into MacVim at all. 2. Disable the feature if the user launches MacVim via mvim. 3. Add a MacVim-specific option to disable the feature. Alec PS. Thanks for your work on MacVim, it is fantastic :) -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
