gvim Launcher

Introduction

This small utility provides the means to replace Notepad.exe on Windows with vim.

It is based on grumpydev's excelent Sublime-Notepad-Replacement

Installation

• Download the ZIP file from the ZIP folder.
• Extract the three files in the ZIP (SublimeLauncher.exe, ReplaceNotepad.bat and RevertNotepadRedirection.bat) to the same directory as Sublime Text itself.
• Run ReplaceNotepad.bat. You will need to "Run as Administrator" if using Vista/Win7/Win8.

Now when the system wants to launch Notepad it will launch gvim instead.

Enjoy!

Uninstallation

• If you ever want to revert changes and return to Notepad, run RevertNotepadRedirection.bat.
