Jakub Arnold a68295f77f Add vim/gvim to a list of external editor flags
Sidenote: Even though the flags work both for vim and gvim, it probably makes more sense to use gvim, because the way Godot launches the editor won't work with normal vim since it doens't have a terminal to live in.

.. _doc_external_editor:
Using an external text editor
==============================
Godot can be used with an external text editor, such as Sublime Text or Visual Studio Code. To select an external text editor via the Godot editor menu:
``Editor -> Editor Settings -> Text Editor -> External``
.. image:: img/editor_settings.png
There are two fields: the executable path and command line flags. The flags
allow you to better integrate the editor with Godot. Godot will replace the
following inside the flags parameter:
+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| Field in Exec Flags | Is replaced with |
+=====================+=====================================================+
| {project} | The absolute path to the project directory |
+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| {file} | The absolute path to the file |
+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| {col} | The column number of the error |
+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| {line} | The line number of the error |
+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
Some example Exec Flags for various editors include:
+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| Editor | Exec Flags |
+=====================+=====================================================+
| Geany/Kate | {file} -\-line {line} -\-column {col} |
+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| Atom/Sublime Text | {file}:{line} |
+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| JetBrains Rider | -\-line {line} {file} |
+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| Visual Studio Code | {project} -\-goto {file}:{line}:{col} |
+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| Vim (gVim) | "+call cursor({line}, {col})" {file} |
+---------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
.. note:: For Visual Studio Code you will have to point to the "code.cmd" file.
