Re: execute an alias with vim

Thanks for your answer.

I love aliases since i am a child! i am absolutely fascinated by them!
i dream of them every night :-)

Hmmmm in fact aliases was the best way i found to do what i want. Just
a ligne in ~/.bashrc, so simple. And just to type "bar" in my terminal
to access the file.

So, I tried to create one file with shebang (in one directory in my
$PATH, ~/bin is not my path).

But when i do "c-w n" in vim, and then :!bar, the file is open in
another vim, not in my window i have just created!
