Hi Kacper,
Use the "set guioptions+=f" in ~/.vimrc
gvim has a nasty default of backgrounding after it's started and it
throws off a lot of newbies when they integrate it with other programs.
:help 'guioptions'
...
'f' Foreground: Don't use fork() to detach the GUI from the shell
where it was started. Use this for programs that wait for the
editor to finish (e.g., an e-mail program). Alternatively you
can use "gvim -f" or ":gui -f" to start the GUI in the
foreground. |gui-fork|
Note: Set this option in the vimrc file. The forking may have
happened already when the gvimrc file is read.
Cheers,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau
