gVim and Xcode

I love vim. I love gVim even more. I am very, very, fast in vim. In fact, I write all these entries in vim.

Now look at Xcode. Xcode is slick. I can do a lot of fancy IDE things in Xcode. I don’t work quickly in the Xcode editor. I probably write/modify code in Xcode at about 20–40% of my peak speed. I depend on Xcode for debugging, organizing all the UI stuff, and so on.

How does one marry the two in a way that does not suck? I would like to know where I can find helfpul hints about workflow when using Xcode and vim (even if it’s purely anecdotal). I may have to just break down and set vim to run xcodebuild at the command prompt with some keystroke, which should work well enough.

Goto system settings from the application menu, choose the file type preferences tab, expand the tree from file->text->sourcecode and change it to vim as an external editor :-)
