# vimput.pl
#
# Opens the current input line in a new Tmux split in Vim. When the Vim
# buffer is written, Irssi's prompt will be updated from the contents of the
# buffer.
#
# **Note:** In order to use this script, you'll have to make a key binding to
# Vimput. For example, to bind Ctrl-X:
#
# /BIND ^X command script exec Irssi::Script::vimput::vimput
