You're right that you want to edit a specific file, but to avoid having to
search all Vim servers, I give each Vim instance a server name equal to the
full path of the master TeX file (which also ends up being the name of the
PDF file, save for the extension). If it were possible to obtain the name
of the PDF file from Skim, I could call the appropriate vim server
directly, and not scan through them all (which is not very elegant).
It also seems natural to know which Skim instance emitted the request; I
typically have multiple multi-file TeX documents typeset in multiple Skim
windows.
I imagine the same issue must come up with other editors.
Thanks.
