How to avoid losing changes in the text area when using an external vimperator multi-tab editor

I am using an external vimperator editor using ctrl -ito edit text field fields using gvim. This usually works, but I almost always use this with multiple tabs. I find that I am starting to edit a field using gvim, use a different tab (say to search on Google), go back to my gvim session, change things and write and exit the gvim session. However, if I forget to open the original tab with which the gvim session was created before closing gvim, I lose my job. Then I have to dig into my temporary files to find the gvim file that I lost.

Besides the fact that before closing the gvim session, you should reopen the initial tab, is there any way to avoid this behavior? For example, is there a way for a quit gvim instance to write content to the correct tab, even if I don't have it open?

My solution for this is to use an add-on for this function called It All Text

This is basically a standalone add-on for this vimperator function, which makes this text field tracking better in the background, which allows you to use your browser when you open gvim or any other text editor.

However, it does not work for each field.
