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?
