You can open a file in Linux Mint Cinnamon (and in its file-manager Nemo) just by right-clicking on the file icon and choosing the "Open with Vim" menu item. This tip refers to Linux Mint 16 Petra Cinnamon.
[]
Create the file
~/.local/share/nemo/actions/vim.nemo_action
The name of the file is not important, however, the extension must be nemo_action
.
[]
Now open the file vim.nemo_action
with your preferred text editor and enter the following lines:
[Nemo Action] Active=true Name=Open with Vim Comment=Open %N with Vim in a terminal Exec=gnome-terminal --geometry=80x49 --working-directory=%P -e "vim %F" Icon-Name=vim Selection=s Extensions=nodirs; Dependencies=vim; EscapeSpaces=true;
