Above is cominated version of above. thanks authors.
- multiple file wil be open with multiple vim tabs
- new window will be created if not exist.
- new tab will be created if window is not new one
Heres my two versions
- One edits any selected text in place (e.g. in Mail, Safari etc.) on recent MacOS versions
- The other can open files as an app or a quick action, just like the versions here. It also supports multiple files (tabs) and .vim session files.
