vi =myscript_somewhere can I specify which editor used?

[zzapper]

Hi,

I love zsh's = operator but can I specify which editor it uses (I want to use gvim not vim)

What about
   gvim =myscript_somewhere
Is that too easy or do I misunderstand your question?

Ciao,
Thomas

Blush, yes I remember now the real problem is that gvim being a win32 program doesn't understand the
Cygwin / root, thus I have to use Cygwin's non-gui vim 

What I can use instead is (learnt here) and had forgot i had

function vcd {cd =$1(:h);gvim $1 &}

> vcd some_script_somewhere_in_my_paths

How about a shell script named gvim in your cygwin path:

 #! /bin/sh
 filename=$(cygpath -w -- "$1")
 gvim.exe "$filename"

Which will convert the filename to a windows-style path, then call the
real gvim.
