Hi.
I read about the -S command line flag, as well as the --cmd flag.
Problem is, I need to source an arbitrary vimscript right after all
vimrc files have been read, but before the first file has been read.
So --cmd is too early for me, while -S is too late.
What I need is a flag --foo, such that:
vim --foo bar.vim
Would act as if the following line has been appended to ~/.vimrc:
source bar.vim
Does such a thing exists?
Here's what I do to set up an 'alpine' (mail client) mode (essentially
adds an extra conditionally-sourced file at the end of .vimrc):
At end of .vimrc:
if exists("g:alpine")
" do alpine-specific stuff
endif
Then, invoke Vim as: vim --cmd 'let g:alpine=1'
Modified for sourcing an arbitrary file:
At end of .vimrc:
if exists("g:extrasource")
exe "source ".g:extrasource
endif
Invoke as:
" careful of 'special' chars in filename (including spaces)
vim --cmd 'let g:extrasource='./path/to/extra.vim

Best,
Ben
