[SOLVED] Vimperator: use vim instead of gvim

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.
