ConEmu: Open files in vim with ConEmu through File Explorer

Question

Is it possible to open files by double clicking an associated file extension or through context menu with vim in a ConEmu tab?

Answer 1

I'd do the following:

1. Create a batch file, let's say conemuvim.bat and add its path into PATH variable
2. Assign desired file extensions to be opened with conemuvim (to do so, shift+click2 on a file -> open with -> choose default
3. Done.

Now, in conemuvim.bat you only need to add the following:

@echo off

start "ConEmu" "C:\Program Files\ConEmu\ConEmu64.exe" -cmd vim.exe "%1"

(surely enough, you need to change the path of the conemu and have vim.exe into your PATH)

That's all :)

// edit: Obviously, this will work with any other console application. Considering this is only a rough mock-up, it may not work well if you need to open multiple files, vim command flags and so on, but it's surely a good starting point.
