RMVIM

=====

Summary

-------

Vim GUI (MacVim, GVim) plugin to make remote editing more easy (based on

TextMate 2.0's rmate feature).

Requirements

------------

This script is meant to be used with MacVim or GVim on a Mac or linux system. 

It uses the Netrw functionality of vim to remotely edit files.

Installation

------------

1. Install the rmvim.vim plugin in your local .vim directory.  

   Or use a plugin system such as Plug: `Plug 'wannesm/rmvim.vim`

2. Copy the file `rmvim.vim/util/rmvim` to your remote host to a directory that

   is in your path.

3. If you want to use gvim instead of mvim add the following to your .vimrc:  

   `let g:rmvim_cmd = 'gvim'`  

   Other options include `vimr`, ...

Usage

-----

Open a MacVim or GVim instance at least once. If this plugin is installed, this

will automatically activate a listener (an instance of the `nc` command).

Open a connection to your remote host with the command

    ssh -R 52699:localhost:52699 yourhost

On your remote host start editing a file with the following command:

    rmvim ./path/to/file

The remote file opens locally in MacVim.
