Hello,

On Windows (7 64 bit), anyone have a visual basic script or some other mechanism to achieve the following:

  1) Ctrl-Z in gvim shifts focus to the input prompt
     on a pre-existing cmd window.

  2) Then, in that cmd window, issuing some command, say,
     "done", results in focus being brought back to
     gvim with the cursor at the place where it was when
     Ctrl-Z was typed.

So it's "just" two scripts, one to switch focus from gvim to cmd-window, and the other to shift focus in the reverse direction. With the appropriate script being triggered by "Ctrl-Z" in gvim or by "done" in cmd-window.

If such a tool does not already exist:

Here's what I would do: In the past, I have successfully written and used a perl script that examined the system tray for one particular application and killed it if the application was found. I suspect that code could be extended to examine all windows on the desktop, and to turn focus on for any particular window. I might need to run the script once from gvim and once from the cmd-window so that the script could record the "Window-ID" of the two applications. Then "Ctrl-Z" would be mapped to call that script to switch to the cmd-window, and "done" would be created to call that script to switch to the gvim window.

Any thoughts on the above approach?

(The preceding is different from the sequence of operations for OutlookVim.)

Thanks,

--Suresh
