MacVim can be installed via macports. It is like gvim, except it more
Mac-like. It integrates better with the Mac clipboard for example, and uses
Mac-style keyboard equivalents. And looks great on a retina display. At the
same time, my .vimrc and the scripts in my .vim directory work just fine.
$sudo port install MacVim
You can't run gvim. MacVim can be run from the command line as follows:
/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/MacVim
However it doesn't seem to support the command line arguments that gvim
supports. I don't think they handle the same command line arguments. So
when I run it from my cream.sh script it comes up like normal vim.
I will keep researching.
Thanks,
Erik
