Yes, by setting up filetype associations which use Vim's --remote series of commands. See :help --remote and following. http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Launch_files_in_new_tabs_under_Windows has it set up for multiple tabs within one Vim instance. It is easily adaptable for multiple buffers in a single window instead. The wiki article relies on --remote-tab-silent to launch files. If you don't want tabs, just use --remote-silent. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
