Edit in MacVim not working in snow leopard.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Ever since I upgraded to snow leopard, the "Edit in MacVim" functionality has 
ceased to work.

It uses the InputManager functionality which, I believe, is severely limited or 
entirely disabled (depending on the 
situation) in Snow Leopard. From what I can find, InputManagers are limited to 
only loading under very strict 
conditions in 32-bit apps, and will not load at all in 64-bit apps - which, if 
you have a Core2Duo, will be 
running in Snow Leopard for almost all bundled apps and an increasing number of 
3rd-party apps.

Basically, it's not going to work in it's current form in Snow Leopard, ever. 
There might be some way to rewrite it 
using a different method, but that would take time - if it's even possible.

This topic has been covered on vim_mac.  For example (also look for QuickCursor 
for a potential replacement 
to the "Edit in ..." functionality):

Here's an excerpt:

You have to run Safari in 32-bit mode for Input Managers to work (and
"Edit in ..." is an input manager).  To do this:

Open a Finder window on /Applications, and show Info window for Safari
(select Safari and hit Cmd-i).  Make sure the box that says "Open in
32-bit mode" is selected.  Close window and restart Safari.  Now "Edit
in ..." will work (I'm using it as I type).
