You'll need to use the client-server interface to Vim. :he client-server It's easy to set up a shortcut in your Windows "Send To" context menu, so that you can then send items to a specific Vim instance, using the client-server commandline arguments inside the shortcut. Then sending files to the Vim inside Visual Studio is just a right-click away. http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Add_Vim_to_Windows_Send_To_menu The "launch files in tabs" link on that page accomplishes its task using the client-server interface if you need an example. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
