How do you open an external Vim editor containing the active Eclipse editor file

Question

I\'m not looking for an \"Vim Plugin\" for Eclipse. Instead, I\'d just want a keyboard-shortcut to open the current Eclipse file within a new Vim instance.

Is there

Answer 1

You can also create a small shell script that simply opens whatever options are passed to it in named vim instance. For example, the shell script I use is simply:

#!/bin/bash

gvim --servername eclipse --remote-tab-silent "$@"

Then make the script executable and follow the canonical method described by sleepynate, using your script as the external editor.
