I wanted a quick way to open up files from finder in vim so I wrote a little applescript application. I use Script Editor.app to save this as an Application in a file called Vim:

on open (these_files)
  set names to ""
  repeat with this_file in these_files
    set names to names & (quoted form of POSIX path of this_file) & " "
  end repeat
  tell application "Terminal"
    activate
    do script "vim " & names
  end tell
end open

Download the vim applescript app I would like to know how to make this application come up as a right-click, open with... option for every file type, but I haven't figured that out yet...
