Folks, is it possible somehow to send arbitrary commands to the vim
instance without using client-server communication?
I have the following bash function which "tees" output of any shell
command and if there are any errors it opens vim with :copen option:
function vimize ()
{
local file=/tmp/vimize.errors
rm $file 2> /dev/null
$1 "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5" "$6" "$7" "$8" "$9" 2>&1 | tee $file
grep ': error:' $file
if [ "$?" == "0" ] ; then
vim -q $file -c :copen
fi
}
It works just fine, the only problem is the fact it opens the *new*
vim instance while I'd like it to use the *existing* one if vim is
already running.
I know that I can use "--remote" stuff for that, but there are some
downsides with this approach:
1) some distros(e.g Ubuntu 8.10) package vim with -clientserver
2) vim is required to be run with --servername option, which is quite
easy to forget(well I can create a shell alias for 'vim' command but I
really don't like aliasing existing binaries)
Any ideas?
