hi, ive spent the last two working days trying to make terminal VIM my default text editor with no luck.
im using ubuntu 1104 and i dont like GVIM
what ive done so far:
created a vim.desktop file on ~/.local/share/applications with this lines inside
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=VIM
#Exec=/usr/share/vim/vim73/tools/vimm
Exec=gnome-terminal -e "vim \"$1\""
after that, ive edited the mimeapps.list file
and now it looks like this
[Added Associations]
text/csv=openoffice.org-calc.desktop;gedit.desktop;openoffice.org-writer.desktop;
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint=evince.desktop;libreoffice-impress.desktop;
application/illustrator=gimp.desktop;
application/x-shockwave-flash=totem.desktop;vlc.desktop;firefox.desktop;
text/plain=vim.desktop;userapp-vim-0QYSVV.desktop;userapp-vim.gnome-DY1RVV.desktop;
[Default Applications]
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint=libreoffice-impress.desktop
text/plain=vim.desktop
the bold line is the one ive added
so, this changes makes VIM execute when i double click on a plain text file, but it doesnt open the file ive just clicked
it seems to open a new file called $1
this is the closest ive got
any help please?
