" Vim Plugin:	Edit the file with an existing Vim if possible
" Maintainer:	The Vim Project <https://github.com/vim/vim>
" Last Change:	2023 Aug 13

" To use add ":packadd! editexisting" in your vimrc file.

" This plugin serves two purposes:
" 1. On startup, if we were invoked with one file name argument and the file
"    is not modified then try to find another Vim instance that is editing
"    this file.  If there is one then bring it to the foreground and exit.
" 2. When a file is edited and a swap file exists for it, try finding that
"    other Vim and bring it to the foreground.  Requires Vim 7, because it
"    uses the SwapExists autocommand event.

" Function that finds the Vim instance that is editing "filename" and brings
" it to the foreground.
