Always 1 instance-only mode for gvim?

2007-05-13 Thread panshizhu 

Hi, vimmers,

For some reason I'd like to have only one instances of gvim in my machine
at most. launch gvim anyway when gvim has existing instance will switch to
the existing one. (evenif no files are specified)

But the --remote-silent do not fully meet my requirement since it requires
an argument. It requires one file to be open.

If I want to: start gvim without opening any file will switch focus to
existing gvim if available, and start a new one if no gvim exists. possible
to do that?
