Re: Invoking Cygwin vim from Windows Explorer

Greetings, carolus!

Is there some configuration that will let me open a text file in Cygwin
vim by clicking on the file in an Explorer window?

There's like 5 ways to do it.
What you've tried already and what your results so far?


I don't know how to pass the filename and directory from an Explorer
left-click to a Cygwin shell script. (I'm not a programmer, just a dumb
engineer.)

So, vim or shell script?...


If there is no simple answer, let's just drop the subject. I'll continue to open cygwin and cd to the target directory whenever I want to open a file in vim and happen to be in Explorer.
