Hello,
I'm wondering if it's possible to send a file to Vim and have it opened in a new tab within a currently running session/instance. I'm using the Awesome WM and I'd ultimately like to have the Ranger file manager running in one tag and have it send opened files to a master Vim session running in another tag.
Thanks for any help,
Rob

If you mean gVim then I think you can call gvim --remote filename and it should open it in a currently running instance of gVim
Don't you worry about blank. Let me worry about blank
I did do the nasty in the past-y.
Pizza delivery for... I. C. Weiner. Aww... I always thought by this stage in my life I'd be the one making the crank calls.

Try "--remote-tab-silent".

Ah, I was aware of the gVim command and was looking for a terminal implementation. Thanks, fellas! It looks like --remote-tab-silent will fit into my work flow nicely.
Thanks,
Rob
