Alfred plugin for editing the selected item in Vim (using iTerm 2)

readme.md

Installation

• Can be pasted into the script editor portion of a new Applescript extension for Alfred (Requires the power pack)
• Should be set as silent and an action without a keyword so you don't pollute Alfred's commands.
• Pre-built version can be downloaded here

You will need to edit the script and replace e with your vim command

Usage

1. Select a file in Alfred
2. Type vim, select the action when you see it
3. Will launch an iTerm 2 session with the "Vim" profile and automatically start vim for the file, or in the directory you selected.
