Vimbed

Vimbed is a Vim plugin for embedding Vim in other programs. Run Vim in the background using Vimbed to ease communication with external processes.

Projects that use Vimbed

  • Athame patches GNU Readline to embed Vim in bash, gdb, python, etc. Athame can also be used to patch Zsh to add Vim.
  • Pterosaur embeds Vim in Firefox textboxes. (No longer maintained)
  • Chalcogen embeds Vim in the Atom editor. (Experimental. Not maintained)

Requirements

  • Vimbed requires Vim with +clientserver.
  • Vimbed works best in GNU/Linux.
  • Vimbed also works in OSX, but doing so requires XQuartz. (This is a requirement of vim's +clientserver functionality.)

Installation

Install vimbed with your favorite plugin-manager. If you use pathogen:

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone http://github.com/ardagnir/vimbed

Note that vimbed won't be very useful without another process to communicate with.

API

Coming eventually. Until then, see Athame, Pterosaur, and Chalcogen for examples.
