Does it need to be gvim? Or can you use console vim (replace gvim in your external command, with vim)? gvim always forks and pops up in the foreground when called from the command line. Well, you can pass the - f argument to make sure it doesn't fork, but I think it will still pop up in the foreground. It is a GUI application, after all, and isn't really meant to run in the background. If it must be gvim, you can try adding a -c "simalt ~n" before the function call, to minimize it right away. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
