Let gVim always run a single instance

Question

Is there a way to let gVim only run a single instance, so that when a new file is opened with it it\'s automatically opened in a new tab in the currently running instance?

Answer 1

I'm using TotalCommander for file browsing. It lets you press "F4" to edit the file. So in the "Editor for F4" option window, you just need to do the following:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim73\gvim.exe --remote-tab-silent

Works on my win7 64bit machine.
