I don't know any way of doing this unfortunately. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I've changed the opening procedure so that if a "file open" event is received, then MacVim always tries to open the files in an untitled window (if there is one open or launching). This takes care of both the Xcode and input manager problems (i.e. there is no longer a problem with two windows opening). The only negative side-effect at the moment is that sometimes the "welcome screen" in Vim is momentarily displayed and then the files open, resulting in an annoying "flash". I'm not sure what to do about this at the moment, let me know if this is very annoying. Another potential nuisance is that the way I detect an "untitled window' is very dumb at the moment (I just check if the window title starts with "[No Name]"). I should come up with a better check (probably by using Vim script), but I am so slow at writing scripts that I decided to go with the easiest solution for now. Any help with a script that checks if a Vim process is "unused" would be very welcome. This is a bit of a change to the file opening procedure, so please pull the latest version and let me know if I've introduced some new bugs. /Björn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.

Cursor in Macvim

Hi all. I'm having a really odd situation with Macvim, and I'm hoping someone can help me, or at least give me a reason for it. I am a blind Mac user and I'm using Voiceover, the speech interface for the Mac to do basically everything. the problem I seem to be having with Macvim is, well, the cursor Macvim is using does not seem to be the usual text cursor that cocoa apps use. Let me try to explain. If I'm using textedit, for example, and I enter some text, when I move around with the arrow keys, I can hear the characters spoken. Cursor movement gets spoken and all is right with my world. In macvim, cursor movements are *not* spoken. According to the feedback I'm getting, the cursor is constantly at the bottom of the screen and nothing is spoken, but examineing the vim results, the cursor *is* moving, Just, apparently, not the one Voiceover knows about. Does this make any sense? If it does, are there any solutions to this? BTW, if anyone wants to test this, Voiceover is activated by pressing cmd-f5 and deactivated the same way. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.

I for one would prefer that the app didn't open with a blank window at all. I generally only open the app as a response to another action - opening a file in Finder, requesting a file to open with MacVim in Terminal, etc - so wouldn't miss the blank window. Is it possible to set this as a preference so you could have the app open with a blank window or not (TextMate does this with a preference to open an untitled document on open, on open or re-activation, or never). I always have this set to 'never' if I have an option. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.

Re: Edit in MacVim

I know this is a long thread with lots of solutions already mentioned, but I think things are getting a bit complicated here. I have the equivalent of "Edit in MacVim" implemented in two different and easier to implement ways. *) First, by using mvim.app: http://phaseportrait.blogspot.com/2007/12/file-associations-and-path-with-macvim.html *) Second, by using OnMyCommand (do a search for OnMyCommand, a popular OS X application for customizing the context menu). Additionally, both of these methods set the PATH correctly, so you'll have no trouble shelling out to your compiler (e.g., latex) of choice. --Ted Bruno De Fraine wrote: > Hello, > > On 23-jan-08, at 22:34, Travis Jeffery wrote: >> Myself and a few other guys are curious on how you got Edit in Vim >> working in MacVim, if you could post how to to in a reply back >> I'll put it up or you put it up http://tinyurl.com/3xntp3 , that'd >> be awesome. > > I tried it again on my colleague's computer and it worked > immediately, so I don't understand why it's not working for other > people.
