Create an untitled window on re-activation only

[ir0nh34d]

I have MacVim starting at login and I have set "Open Untitled Window" set to never so that it doesn't create a window at startup. I would like to be able to click on the MacVim icon in the dock and have it open a new window (as opposed to having to select "New Window" from the menu). So much like the option "only when MacVim launches" it would be nice to have an option "only when MacVim is re-activated".

Hmm, I guess it does make sense to add this. Just curious though, why launch MacVim on boot, if you don't plan to use it? MacVim itself (rather than the Vim window itself) shouldn't take more than a second to launch I think?

That’s a valid point - I guess there is no benefit having MacVim in my startup items if I don’t want an initial window. I like having MacVim at the ready as I use it frequently, but as you say, it doesn’t take long to load.

That's fair. I'll look into adding that. There should already be an issue created for this.
