In gvim, when I open a file via the file menu I get my operating system’s native GUI file open dialog. In most other editors you can access this via a keyboard shortcut instead of going to the file menu. But in gvim the shortcut (as it appears in the file menu) is :edit which is a “command line oriented” way of opening files, not a GUI for opening files.
Is there a command :blah that will start the file open dialog for me? I know other, similiar such commands exist (for example :set guifont=* will open the GUI font selector.)
:browse confirm eshould be what you’re looking for.
