A Visual Studio extension that adds a menu command that lets you open a solution, project, folder or file in Vim.
Download the extension at the VS Marketplace.
This extension was largely patterned after Mads Kristensen's wonderful "Open In Visual Studio Code" plugin.
I do use Visual Studio Code from time-to-time but I much prefer Vim. This extension is for those times when you are editing something in Visual Studio but want to be able to quickly open it in Vim.
In order to use this extension, you must have Visual Studio 2017+ as well as Gvim installed.
You can open any solution, project, folder, or file in Vim by simply right-clicking it in Solution Explorer and selecting Open In GVim.
If you installed Vim to a non-default location, a prompt will ask for the path to Gvim.exe.
You can always change the location in Tools -> Options -> VsVim -> Open In GVim.
