Right here is an AppleScript script to make it doable double-click information in Finder in order that they are going to be opened in Vim, by Normen Hansen: https://github.com/normen/vim-macos-scripts/blob/grasp/open-file-in-vim.applescript (it should be used from Automator).
I attempt to simplify it and in addition to make it doable to make use of it with out Automator. To make use of my very own model, you solely want to put it aside as utility as a substitute, like this:
osacompile -o open-with-vim.app open-with-vim.applescript
after which copy it to /Purposes and set your .txt information to be opened utilizing this app.
Right here it’s, it alsmost works:
-- https://github.com/normen/vim-macos-scripts/blob/grasp/open-file-in-vim.applescript
-- opens Vim with file or file listing
-- units present folder to guardian folder of first file
on open theFiles
set command to {}
if enter is null or enter is {} or ((merchandise 1 in enter) as string) is "" then
-- no information, open vim with out parameters
set finish of command to "vim;exit"
else
set firstFile to (merchandise 1 of theFiles) as string
inform utility "Finder" to set pathFolderParent to quoted type of (POSIX path of ((folder of merchandise firstFile) as string))
set finish of command to "cd" & house & (pathFolderParent as string)
set finish of command to ";hx" -- e.g. vi or some other command-line textual content editor
set fileList to {}
repeat with i from 1 to (theFiles rely)
set finish of fileList to house & quoted type of (POSIX path of (merchandise i of theFiles as string))
finish repeat
set finish of command to (fileList as string)
set finish of command to ";exit" -- if Terminal > Settings > Profiles > Shell > When the shell exits != Do not shut the window
finish if
set command to command as string
set myTab to null
inform utility "Terminal"
if it's not operating then
set myTab to (do script command in window 1)
else
set myTab to (do script command)
finish if
activate
finish inform
return
finish open
The one drawback is the if block within the very starting:
if enter is null or enter is {} or ((merchandise 1 in enter) as string) is "" then
What’s unsuitable there? Learn how to make it work? (Assuming it already works wonderful if AppleScript is used utilizing Automator.)
