parameters to editor (F4)

[fnheiden]

gvim works fine for me on W2K SP3 with TC 5.51 and command line parameters specified

Code: Select all

Editor=C:\Program Files\vim\vim61\gvim.exe -y

2 soreno: here it is

Code: Select all

Editor=""C:\Program Files\XEmacs\XEmacs-21.1.9\i386-pc-win32\runemacs.exe" -l C:\.emacs" 

I think that xemacs is far to slow to start up (comparing to gvim - which is ready instantly after pressing F4)

Yes, I know. It starts fast enough when it's just been installed, but then starts too slowly . Anyway, I usually just use the lister

Geoffrey >> Ok, thanks.

-l C:\.emacs
I think this parameter isn't necessary - emacs defaults to c:\ if HOME hasn't been defined.



fnheiden >> Also, thanks.

I know this wouldn't be needed if HOME has not been defined, but I did define it for other purposes

Editor = C:\Program Files\total commander\vim61\gvim.exe -y

Sorry, I can not give the URL because I have registered to this forum, just to write this post. Looks like writing URLs is not allowed with this status.

Try quote the exe and append a "%1" to prevent the conversion to DOS short filenames:
Editor = "C:\Program Files\total commander\vim61\gvim.exe" -y "%1"
