Can't get it to work with vim #59

Closed GOKOP closed 4 years ago

GOKOP commented 4 years ago

I have the editor configured as follows:

["termite", "-e", "vim", "+call cursor(%l,%c)"]

Vim is being opened, but it opens a new file which is empty and attempts at saving it just ask for a filename. I tried adding "%s" before the call cursor argument but it doesn't change anything.

With gvim configured like this:

["gvim", "+call cursor(%l,%c)"]

A file is opened (meaning that gvim says its path) but its contents aren't loaded and saving is impossible (can't open the file for edit)

A conventional editor like gedit works correctly

I had the same problem. It seems to be a termite issue.

Adding the filename argument together with the editor name between quotes works fine.

["termite", "-e", "nvim %s"]

Thanks, it works! Writing this from vim :)
