Open file in iTerm vim for MacOS Sierra

TerminalVim.scpt

-- TerminalVim.app
-- This creates a shim Application that will enable you to open files from the Finder in vim using iTerm

-- To use this script: 
-- 1. Open Automator and create a new Application
-- 2. Add the "Run Applescript" action
-- 3. Paste this script into the Run Applescript section
-- 4. Save the application as TerminalVim.app in your Applications folder
-- 5. In the Finder, right click on a file and select "Open With". In that window you can set TerminalVim as a default

on run {input, parameters}
	tell application "iTerm"
		create window with default profile
		tell front window
			tell current session
				write text ("vim " & quote & POSIX path of input & quote & "; exit")
			end tell
		end tell
	end tell
end run

Thank you very much. I am running MacOS El capitan and it works.

May I suggest removing line number 13, because in my case, wether iTerm is open or not, it creates two windows : One with the file open, and one empty. ( maybe this is what you want? )

Additionnaly, I removed the & "; exit on line 16, so that I could close it as I would normally do if I ran the file directly from iTerm.

This is brilliant :) Thanks Charlie!

THANK YOU. Been scavenging the internet for a while for something like this.

Thank you. Took some inspiration from this and did one for nvim

It works.Thanks!And I think It will be great if can creat new tab when iTerm is running.

for opening in a new tab in possible opened iTerm2 (3.2.3 on OS X Mojave)

on run {input, parameters}
    set myPath to POSIX path of input
    set cmd to "vim " & quote & myPath & quote
    tell application "iTerm"
        activate
        tell current window
            create tab with default profile command cmd
        end tell
    end tell
end run

I made a version of this that handles opening multiple files.
