It seems this is what dbus is meant for. http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus http://sourceforge.net/projects/windbus/ The Linux version is widely used and stable, not sure about Windows. The current situation is a great proof of concept, but not ready for prime time by any means. If others are interested in Leo's editing pane being a bona fide Vim window, it might be more efficient to pursue the inter-process messaging approach instead of fixing what we have now. It would be most cool if the user could select their favorite editor to be active in the edit pane. Thanks, Kent > > Tom > > On Aug 20, 6:43 am, "Ville M.
