Actually, this isn't MacVim specific as it happens in the GTK GUI, too (change
mvim to gvim in the above). Let's see if the vim_dev guys have some ideas/a fix or
whether Bram can add it to the todo!

Hmm... when typing an ex-command, the client displays "c" as the value
of mode() in the server, the typed command appears where it should,
etc., but the cursor jumps to the active editing window whenever a
--remote-send command is evaluated. Typing the next character of the
ex-command brings the cursor back where it belongs. This seems like a
cosmetic question to me -- and of course it can only happen when a
single instance of Vim is used both as a keyboard-driven editor and as a
server for the --clientserver facility at the same time.
This is on Linux; both server and client were started from a KDE konsole
terminal in a manner quite similar to the above:
gvim --servername gvim
while true; do vim --servername gvim --remote-send mode\(\); sleep 2; done;
Best regards,
Tony.

Let's just say that where a change was required, I adjusted. In every
relationship that exists, people have to seek a way to survive. If you
really care about the person, you do what's necessary, or that's the
end. For the first time, I found that I really could change, and the
qualities I most admired in myself I gave up. I stopped being loud and
bossy ... Oh, all right. I was still loud and bossy, but only behind
his back."
