description

Based on bcbuf.vim (vimscript #201), this script allows the user to open a new vim window from within vim, and manage the buffers in all open vim sessions (windows) in a centralized manner. One can: 0. Open a new vim window from within vim by the command ":nf" 1. Yank and Put across multiple sessions using the usual mappings. 2. Edit a file, first in one session, then in another, using :edit, :split, :vsplit, etc. 3. Look at all buffers in all sessions using :files, :buffers, etc. 4. Push a command from one session's history and pop it in another. For more details look at the comments at the start of the script.

install details

UNIX or related OS required, along with bash and Eterm. Minor modifications required if you want to change these requirements. The tarball contains 2 files: multivim.vim is the vim plugin and should go into the usual plugins directory. vim_stub is a bash shell script that should go somewhere in your $PATH. vim should always be invoked through it. You might want to alias vim='vim_stub' For more help, :help add-plugin
