I got a fairly old gvim (6.3) on CentOS 4.5. There's no --remote-tab-silent
option yet. Instead, I use --remote
to open file in same gvim instance. However, there's a problem that all files are opened in gvim in background. The gvim window won't pop to the front. I have to manually switch to it. Is there any way to fix this?
More detail on steps to reproduce:
- Open Konsole
- Open first file '
gvim --remote file1
'. For the first time open file, gvim will pop to front. - Switch back to Konsole and open 2nd file '
gvim --remote file2
'. The file gets opened in gvim, but gvim window won't pop to front.
