Re: Is it possible to redirect vim input?

Thanks all. Just took a quick look at clientserver (remote.txt) and netbeans.txt which give a lot info about this kind of integration of vim.

I probably can use them for my goal. I just want to make gdb easier to use, maybe spoiled by windows debugger key bindings but it is just so easier than gdb command line.

My motivation is to make it easy to try rust in a more interactive way: type in lines of code, compile (which is quite fast), run / step through it and display variable values and output. This will not support profound use of gdb easily but should be good enough as a start. Obviously this can apply to other languages as well.
