I’d like gVim to open files dragged into it to open in a new tab, instead of replacing the current file. This question is on the right track, but I’d like to be able to run multiple instances of gVim, just able to drag files to the window I want.
I’m running on Windows 7.
No you cannot, the default action on drag and drop is specified in the implementation of a windows application (OLE DoDragDrop). It has not been implemented to open dropped files in a new tab and thus won’t. But gVim is open source… so you could submit a patch if you really want this 🙂
