With a little jiggerypokery it should be! Perhaps something like gvim --remote-send "<C-\><C-N>:cfile build.log<CR>:call foreground()<CR>" You'd obviously want to wrap that in a shell script or alias... And there are other possibilities if that doesn't work... If you're on Windows, running remote_foreground() in the client might be better than running foreground() in the server, for instance; then you'd have to run a remote_send in the client, too, via a :call not using the --remote-send argument.
