OSX: how to make Macvim available as a system editor #3346
-
|
I have Macvim installed on OSX. When OSX wants to open a text file, it offers me a list of programs that can help. Macvim isn't one of them, presumably because it's installed under /opt rather than in Applications. What's the best way of fixing that? |

I assume you installed MacVim as a formula (
brew install macvim). That would be the reason for MacVim being installed in/opt. To be able to open text files from outside the Terminal with MacVim, you probably want to rather install the cask (brew install --cask macvim). Then MacVim should appear when you right click on a text file for example.Hope that helps.
