gvim.app for intel Mac
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007
I like vim. It is a wonderful text editor. It even comes in a GUI version for the Mac. It has a tendency to open every document in the same window, so the nice people at http://macvim.org/ provide a Mac app ‘gvim.app’ that opens vim via a script to make it open every document in a new window. But somehow, alone in the whole download, this simple little just-run-a-shell-script app wasn’t universal! For want of a nail, etc etc etc, so launching vim was remarkably slow. Well, we can fix that! This universal version of gvim.app uses almost the same launch script as the original, tweaked to play nicely with the current version of Platypus. If you’re using an intel Mac and want vim to start up in the blink of an eyelid (instead of an afternoon nap), download here.
