Hello.
On linux mint 16, to open a file with vim in the terminal i wrote a nemo
action that sends to the system the following command:
gnome-terminal --working-directory=%P -e "vim %F"
where %P is the insert path of parent (current) directory and %F is the
insert path list of selection.
The trick seems to work and the selected file is opened, but many lines
in file are badly showed or not showed at all and CTRL-L doesn't work.
Where can be the problem?
When I try to send this command at the bash prompt in konsole, a
gnome-terminal window opens with Vim inside it, but that Vim gets the
current directory (my $HOME) as working directory (as shown by :pwd)
instead of %P, and (with %F a bare file name, of a file which exists in
%P but not in $HOME) Vim opens an empty buffer of that name.
Without the -e switch and its argument, gnome-terminal opens at a bash
prompt, with %P as the current directory, as shown by the prompt. Then
typing the vim command, with the bare filename, at the bash prompt,
opens that file correctly.
:-? :-? :-? :-? :-?
Why don't you try to invoke gvim instead? You could use
gvim --cmd "cd %P" -c "e %F"
to start gvim with %P as the current directory (set before reading the
vimrc) and %F (relative to %P) as the current editfile (opened after
reading the vimrc). With a bare filename not part of a -c parameter, I
see gvim opening with the correct pwd but with a file %F relative to the
_original_ directory from which it was invoked. Maybe that's what you
want after all: in that case the command is
gvim --cmd "cd %P" %F
Best regards,
Tony.
