Hello all, the default behavior on Ubuntu system is to launch text files in new tabs on an existing Gedit instance. I have always liked to use Gvim instead but keeping this same scenario, so I make some changes on the gvim.desktop file as suggested here vim.wikia.com/wiki/Launch_files_in_new_tabs_under_Unix.
This setting has worked ok for me back when my applications for launching files were basically nautilus and gnome-do, which still work up to now, but since the release of Unity which I use a lot, I cannot make it work smoothly with Gvim. It does work when launching files from Unity's Dash, but when I try to launch Gvim itself from Dash, it never opens. Also if there's a Gvim pinned to Unity as a Launcher, it is taken away from there by the time all tabs get closed. Anyone? -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
