Tips and Tricks

1. create a file .vimpluginrc somewhere.
2. add Option -U /path/to/.vimpluginrc at vimplugins preference page

My .vimpluginrc:

"disable menubar and Toolbar
set go-=m
set go-=T

Other intersting things for .vimpluginrc could be colorscheme, fonts etc…

By default, vimplugin will only open one tab with an embedded instance of gvim. Double-clicking on subsequent files will open them as buffers within that original tab. To change this behavior:

1. go to Window → Preferences… → General → Editors → File Associations
2. click “Add…” to add a file association for the file type that you wish to edit with Vim; a C++ programmer might enter “*.cpp”, for example
3. then click “Add…” in the lower window to associate a new editor with that file type
4. choose “Vim (new process)” and click “OK”
5. use the “Default” button to make this the default way of opening files

2. add Option -U /path/to/.vimpluginrc at vimplugins preference page

Add the following to .vimpluginrc:

"disable swap file
