Hi!
I'm a vimperator user and I would like to use vim instead of gvim as the external editor.
I tried to do it by entering the following command
set editor="urxvtc -e vim"
It works great for viewing code of documents but it doesn't work for entering text in an input area. (via Ctrl+i)
Have you got any idea to solve this issue?
Thank you.

i'm not quite sure but you might try this:
set editor="urxvtc -e /bin/bash -c 'vim'"

It's worse ^^.
Now, I can't see the source code of any document and I can't use it as an external editor.
Thank you anyway.

Don't use urxvtc (it exits immediately).
set editor="urxvt -e vim"
Or create a urxvtc wrapper.
