Open files in existing Gvim in multiple (new) tabs

Question

I have put some aliases in my .bashrc to open a group of project files in gvim, each in their own tab:

gvim -p 

        

Answer 1

Linux users may use this kind of script:

#!/bin/bash

ANS=`pgrep -fx "gvim --servername GVIM"`

echo $@

if [[ ! $ANS ]]; then
    gvim --servername GVIM
fi

if [[ $1 ]]; then
    gvim --servername GVIM --remote-tab "${@}"
fi

And then edit gvim.desktop file for using this script:

Exec=/home/user/bin/my_gvim_script.sh %F
