how to redirect pipe output to vim in case remote?

[justrajdeep]

Hi

The following command works

ls | gvim -

But

ls | gvim --servername GVIM1 --remote-tab -

does not?

shouldnt it be similar in operation?

Thanks

No, it is not. Stdin /stdout cannot be shared among different processes, except ones in parent-child relationship.

You can redirect output to file and pass that file name instead.

That doesn't work because the remote gvim does not have access to this
stdin. You will have to save the text into a file first, then you can
tell the remote gvim to open that file.

Hi Bram

Is it the same even if it is from a terminal run inside vim?

That is a separate terminal, running its own shell. That stdin is owned
by the shell, thus it doesn't make a difference.
