Windows 8.1 64-bit using a 32-bit gVim 7.4.1-729. I use gVim for diffing from my source control system using:
gvim.exe -O -d file1.txt file2.txt This works great. I was hoping to extend this a bit. When I diff a changelist, it runs the above command on all files in the changelist. This might open 10 gvim instances. What I was hoping to achieve was opening 1 instance of Vim. For each set of files to compare, open a new tab for just those 2 files. Start diffmode just in that tab for those 2 files. I have tried running various command lines: $ gvim -O -d dave.js dave_2.js $ gvim -O -d --remote-tab-silent dave.js dave_2.js $ gvim -O -d --servername gDiff --remote-tab-silent dave.js dave_2.js $ gvim -O -d --servername gDiff -p1 dave.js dave_2.js -h $ gvim -O -d --servername gDiff -p1 dave.js dave_2.js $ gvim -O -d --servername gDiff -p2 dave.js dave_2.js $ gvim -d --servername gDiff -p1 dave.js dave_2.js $ gvim -d --servername gDiff -p1 dave.js dave_2.js $ gvim --servername gDiff -p1 -d dave.js dave_2.js $ gvim --servername gDiff -d dave.js dave_2.js $ gvim --servername gDiff -d tim.js tim_2.js $ gvim --servername gDiff -o2 tim.js tim_2.js $ gvim --servername gDiff -O2 tim.js tim_2.js $ gvim --servername gDiff tim.js tim_2.js $ gvim --servername gDiff dave.js dave_2.js $ gvim --servername Diff dave.js dave_2.js $ gvim --servername Diff tim.js tim_2.js $ gvim -f --servername Diff dave.js dave_2.js $ gvim -f --servername Diff tim.js tim_2.js $ gvim -f --servername Diff tim.js tim_2.js Strangely, when 2 files are specified, it never uses the same Vim instance, it start another. None of these ever really get me any close to what I want to achieve. I assume I will need to write my own batch / cmd file and function to get where I want. Just looking for opinions.
