在 vimrc 中设置服务器名而不是命令行开关

Question

Is it possible to set vim's servername from my vimrc instead of using the --servername command line switch? If I try one of

set v:servername="TEX"
let v:servername="TEX"

I get unknown option error and cannot overwrite read-only variable error respectively.

Answer 1

According to documentation ( :help v:servername ) the v:servername variable is read only.

And according to source code serverRegisterName() in if_xcmdsrv.c is called from three places:

• main() function
• X11 main window initialization
• GTK+ main window initialization

So the answer to your question is no, you can't set server name in your .vimrc or anywhere else except command line arguments.

Answer 2

For a sufficiently new of vim there's the function remote_startserver .

                    *remote_startserver()* *E941* *E942*
remote_startserver({name})
        Become the server {name}.  This fails if already running as a
        server, when |v:servername| is not empty.

        Can also be used as a |method|: >
            ServerName()->remote_startserver()

Available since Vim version 8.0.475. _{according to VimTeX documentation}

So you can simply start vim with no servername and start one in vimrc.

Note : Vim will automatically change the servername (append 1, 2, etc.) to avoid conflict if there are multiple running Vim instances.
