The only way I found is runnig a background python / sh command calling back into Vim using the client/server feature (which requires X on Linux) Vim itself is not threadsafe. http://github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-background-cmd I recommend vim-addon-manager to install the plugin. Let me know if you have trouble getting started - eg because documentation is too short Marc Weber -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
