It's not a GUI, but I use the following cmd.exe batch file to do much
the same thing in Windows XP:
<code>
@echo off
setlocal
REM Allows you to select which instance of Vim to launch a file or
files in.
REM
REM Usage: findvim.bat {file(s) to launch}
REM
REM If calling from your SendTo directory (recommended), just target
the batch
REM file with the shortcut.
REM
echo Available Vim servers:
call vim --serverlist
set /p INSTANCE="Enter desired Vim instance (leave blank for default):
"
if not "%INSTANCE%"=="" set INSTANCE=--servername %INSTANCE%
REM Vim will fork to launch, so using "start" would leave a command
window
REM hanging around. Using "call" is okay, because "gvim" is really a
batch file
REM that will launch the real thing.
call gvim %INSTANCE% --remote-tab-silent %*
:END
endlocal
echo on
:RETURN
</code>
Simply place a shortcut to this batch file in your SendTo directory
for easy access. See our Vim Tip on this topic:
