Re: Interacting with a Ruby program
I'm not sure if it helps, but you could do it the other way around. MacVim implements the client part of the ODB editor suite [1]. So you could have a MacRuby program that implements the server part and then call MacVim. Alternatively, it shouldn't be to hard to patch MacVim to implement the server part of the ODB Editor Suite as well. Then the MacRuby program has to implement the client part. -chris [1]: http://www.barebones.com/support/develop/odbsuite.html On 24 mrt 2010, at 22:32, björn wrote: > On 23 March 2010 14:09, Andrew Stewart wrote: >> >> I'd like to get MacVim to give focus to a MacRuby program, which >> accepts some input from the user via a GUI and then returns the input >> (and focus) back to MacVim. >> >> Right now I can get MacVim to execute a non-interactive Ruby program, >> though when I try a console-based interactive Ruby program it simply >> blocks MacVim indefinitely.

I don't know about OS X < 10.6, but over here 'man open' gives [...] -W Causes open to wait until the applications it opens (or that were already open) have exited. [...] And 'open -a MacVim -W file.txt' in fact gives focus to running MacVim instance and opens 'file.txt' in a new tab. After quitting MacVim terminal (iTerm) prompt returns to 'input state'. That's not making any statement about "focus returning", sure. Having MacVim opened ':!open -a TextEdit -W %' opens current file in TextEdit and waits until TextEdit is closed. Sure, this example is quiet silly, but for demonstration purposes it seemed to be good enough to me :-) -- Regards, Peter Palmreuther -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.

Re: How do I open a file from the Terminal into MacVim's current window?
On 24 Mar 2010, at 21:30, björn wrote: In the Terminal: $ open "mvim://open?url=file:///path/to/file" And this respects the MacVim preference. If there's a more direct way I'd like to hear it...but for now this will do. If you have the above preference set it is enough to simply use: open -a MacVim.app filename1 filename2 etc. Oh yes, so it does. So to summarise, given a MacVim instance in the background, and focus in the Terminal: * `open -a MacVim.app filename1` will open filename1 in the existing MacVim window. * `mvim filename1` will open filename1 in a new MacVim window. Presumably the mvim URL handler opens in the existing (rather than a new) MacVim window because it wraps the `open -a` mechanism? If you have several windows open and want to specify which one to open a file in you need to use the --remote and --servername arguments to the "mvim" script (see ":h mvim"), e.g. mvim --servername VIM --remote filename (The server name can be gleaned from the window title.) That's useful to know, thank you. Cheers, Andy --- http://airbladesoftware.com -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post!

As far as I know there is no universal way on Mac OS X to wait for a GUI app to finish (let alone return focus to the calling program). OK, well knowing that is in itself useful.

I don't know why the plugin would not work when MacVim is launched from the Finder...most likely some part of it depends on some environment variable being set, but I don't know which (the plugin author might).
