is there any way that i can compile and run processing sketches from within vim? I currently have the processing ide set to use an external editor and i edit the file in vim, however i then have to switch the window to the processing ide one in order to compile and run it. I was wondering if it was possible to compile and run everything from within just vim

I think your best bet is to wait until the command line interface gets implemented. A question that has been answered already see:-

http://forum.processing.org/topic/command-line-interface-for-processing

Though in principle you could probably get some sort of macro to send a message to the processing ide, that would be fun.

The IDE responds to Ctrl r by running the script, so you just need to make sure the ide window gets focus??? I vaguely remember doing something like that when testing a GUI, but that was a long time ago.
