I'm often editing a file on a machine and i want to continue editing it on another machine (i'd prefer the buffers - undo history, jump places, etc move with the file, but...).
what i want is for that file to show up on client like if i were to type ':new /file'. so something like: :new scp://user@host//~/blah in my client. but, if the existing vim could somehow export the path and file so that i don't have to type it all (and generally mess it up, that would be cool. what i generally do (because i generally typo something when i try this is: :w :|scp <file> user@host:~/blah and open it. ... and it would just be too cool if i could get something like this to work on macvim too On Aug 16, 2011 1:39 PM, "Ben Fritz" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Aug 16, 10:01 am, shawn wilson <[email protected]> wrote: >> is there a way (script or what not) to copy a buffer to a remote >> instance of vim? i'm not exactly how i'd like this to work, but >> figured that someone had thought of this and i'd ask. >> > > That depends on what you mean by "copy a buffer".
