Question
I am using windows source insight. In this only the basic text editor is available. Is there any vim plugin available to use it in windwos source insight?
Solution
According to the docs (search for ShellExecute), you should be able to invoke a ShellExecute
with an arbitrary program. If VIM is associated with a certain file as editor, this should work:
ShellExecute edit <yourfile>
If VIM is for some strange reason not the default editor for a certain file, you should try
ShellExecute "" C:/Path/to/vim.exe <yourfile>
Thay way, you should be able to call any external tool from Source Insight.
OTHER TIPS
add customer command in source insight and bind a new short key.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim81\gvim.exe" --remote-silent +%l %f
