iTerm and VIM

[acidity]

Hi,

I have been using iTerm, vim, XFolders for last 2 weeks (after being a Windows GUI user for lifetime) and I like it.

I have a question. Is it possible to do the following operation?

(PS: This question pertains to XFolders and iTerm but it can apply for Finder + Terminal.app too)

Whenever I select a text file (or any kinds of file), I want to start a new tab (or window of iTerm), start vim in the console with that file.

Is this possible?

Maybe doing it this way will work: install rcdefaultapps ( http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/ )

then write a shell script that says "vim %"

make the default app that opens .txt files that shell script

...totally not sure if this will work, but possibly?

Hmmm...I will try it!

Looks like a hack. I will say that installing VIM from macvim.org as vim.app and then set it from Finder. No need to write my own shell. But now I have to figure out if I can change the default keystroke for cycling between windows of same app from Command + ` to something of my preference.

Probably I can do it with quicksilver but I dont know how to do it. New to quicksilver also 🙂
