When I start GVim and start writing my little program I’d like to save the file to the Desktop but it seems that Vim is starting the command line in:
C:\Windows\System32
How would I go about changing that to:
C:\Users\Casey
so then I could just:
:w Desktop\my_program.py
Assuming you’re starting gvim from an icon/shortcut in Windows (from the kind of paths you supply), you can change the starting directory (completely independent from the fact that it IS gvim: it would be the same from any other app!) by editing the “starting directory” property of that Windows icon/shortcut.
