RMVIM

Summary

Vim GUI (MacVim, GVim) plugin to make remote editing more easy.

Requirements

This script is meant to be used with MacVim or GVim on a Mac or linux system. It makes use of the Netrw functionallity of vim.

Installation

1. Install the rmvim.vim plugin in your local .vim directory.
2. Copy the file rmvim.vim/util/rmvim to your remote host in a directory that is in your path.
3. If you want to use gvim instead of mvim add the following to your .vimrc:
   set g:rmvim_cmd = 'gvim'

Usage

Open a MacVim instance at least once. If this plugin is installed, this will automatically activate a listener (an instance of the nc command).

Open a connection to your remote host with the command

ssh -R 52699:localhost:52699 yourhost

On your remote host start editing a file with the following command:

rmvim ./path/to/file

The remote file opens locally in MacVim.
