You can open files in VIM by Drag&Drop; of selected file names from Windows Explorer. (not very surprising).
This also works by dropping into the VIM command line, so you can e.g. type
':split '
then drag&drop; a selected file to VIM window
and hit <CR>
The complete path and filename is transferred to commandline and the file is opened in a new VIM buffer/window.
<<Easy menu-style switch between files with a simple map |
Change guifont to see more of your file. >>
