[Question] using vim in iterm2 on osx as an external editor
Does anyone have a way of launching vim in iterm2 under osx as an external editor? I saw a empty discussion on deadit and tried a few things out so I'd love a recipe if someone else has it figured out. Thanks in advance!
As in via an icon? You can probably start a specific profile, and in that profile automatically start vim.
I'm not at my desk or I'd figure it out exactly for you.
Yikes, left off a crucial detail. I meant setting up iterm2/vim as an external editor. Updated my post.
Or was this what you were talking about? Under linux, I just have it launching gnome-terminal with "-- vim" as the command line flags.
Ah, I understand what you mean now. Unfortunately I don't know exactly how to do that, but search for "open file with specific application macOS". Then set up like my first comment and use that to open files.
I'm having trouble figuring it out still. A lot of results are using appplescript and seem to interact with iterm2 different than I would with joplin. As an aside, I did learn a neat trick for configuring iterm2 to open a file in vim after clicking a filename in a terminal while holding down ctl.
