Resolving The Problem

QUESTION:

Can gvim be used as an external editor for Rose RealTime?

ANSWER:

Yes, gvim can be used as an external editor for Rose RealTime. However the following command must be used in the Tools / Options / Editor tab / External Editor Path field:

vim -gf

The man pages for gvim state the following:

-g - The GUI version. Starts a new window.
-f - Foreground. For the GUI version, Vim will not fork and detach from the shell it was started in.

Without the -f option, all changes in the editor window will be lost when the editor is closed.
