Although the Vim installer gives you options to create right-click "edit with Vim" options, it is convenient to be able to simply double-click on a file to have it open in Vim. This "double-click to open" is commonly referred to as a "file association" and is fairly easy to set up in Microsoft Windows. You can use the "Open With..." menu in Windows to set up a basic association, but that will not allow you to specify any command-line arguments to Vim, such as <code>--remote-silent</code> to open with an existing Vim instance. In order to fully specify the action to take when double-clicking a file, Windows provides the <code>ftype</code> and <code>assoc</code> command-line tools. '''These tools affect all users. You need to use the registry if you want to create [[#User-specific file associations]].''' |
