Have a look here, line 190: http://github.com/MarcWeber/theonevimlib/blob/master/core/autoload/tovl/runtaskinbackground.vim I don't see how a tty can help me. My problem is that vim isn't thread safe. So you have to find awkward workarounds to do background tagging, compiling and grepping. Using --remote-send seems to be safe enough. It works with X only though. My version: VIM - Vi IMproved 7.2 (2008 Aug 9, compiled Nov 12 2009 09:11:18) If you want details about that implementation contact me on irc.
