Hi,
I am not sure if this belongs to this list but I'll give it try, maybe one here
knows the solution.
I am using MacVim with one window only. Switching buffers with `:ls`, `:b
<number>`, or just `:b#`.
But when opening MacVim from a Terminal, the command `mvim <file>` opens for
each file a new window. But I want it to reuse the existing one and just to
open a new buffer within this window.
Maybe it's just a minor modification to the `mvim` script, or a startup option
of MacVim. Anyway, I couldn't find the solution. Any suggestion?
Best, /nm
P.S. My `mvim` script:
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "$VIM_APP_DIR" ]
then
myDir="`dirname "$0"`"
myAppDir="$myDir/../Applications"
for i in ~/Applications ~/Applications/vim $myDir $myDir/vim $myAppDir
$myAppDir/vim /Applications /Applications/vim /Applications/Utilities
/Applications/Utilities/vim; do
if [ -x "$i/MacVim.app" ]; then
VIM_APP_DIR="$i"
break
fi
done
fi
if [ -z "$VIM_APP_DIR" ]
then
echo "Sorry, cannot find MacVim.app. Try setting the VIM_APP_DIR
environment variable to the directory containing MacVim.app."
exit 1
fi
binary="$VIM_APP_DIR/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim"
# Next, peek at the name used to invoke this script, and set options
# accordingly.
name="`basename "$0"`"
gui=
opts=
# GUI mode, implies forking
case "$name" in m*|g*|rm*|rg*) gui=true ;; esac
# Restricted mode
case "$name" in r*) opts="$opts -Z";; esac
# vimdiff, view, and ex mode
case "$name" in
*vimdiff)
opts="$opts -dO"
;;
*view)
opts="$opts -R"
;;
*ex)
opts="$opts -e"
;;
esac
# Last step: fire up vim.
# The program should fork by default when started in GUI mode, but it does
# not; we work around this when this script is invoked as "gvim" or "rgview"
# etc., but not when it is invoked as "vim -g".
if [ "$gui" ]; then
# Note: this isn't perfect, because any error output goes to the
# terminal instead of the console log.
# But if you use open instead, you will need to fully qualify the
# path names for any filenames you specify, which is hard.
exec "$binary" -g $opts ${1:+"$@"}
else
exec "$binary" $opts ${1:+"$@"}
fi
