It's a general problem with X11. Once a connection with X11 server is established, it doesn't let a client (i.e. vim) switch to using a different server. You can solve it with an X11 proxy like xpra. It opens a local, persistent X11 server for vim, to which you can attach remotely at any time.
Start tmux on remote machine like this: $ xpra start :100 && DISPLAY=:100 tmux And attach to it like this: $ xpra attach :100 & tmux attach Or run "xpra attach ssh:$hostname:100" on your local machine in parallel to ssh. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
