Setting active window on Vim startup

Question

I'm using MacVim with the Taglist plugin, which I want to be open all the time when I start MacVim.

So in my .gvimrc I have the following

:TlistToggle

Which opens the sidebar when I load my MacVim editor. The thing is, when it opens it sets the taglist window to be the 'active' window rather than the new file window directly next to it.

Is there a way of setting the 'active window' at start up? I tried adding this to my rc file

:wincmd l

Which in theory should move the active window to the right, but this doesn't seem to have any affect.

Any help would be appreciated

Try delaying the command until Vim has finished all initializations:

:autocmd VimEnter * TlistToggle
