Or even

alias vimtab="gvim -f --remote-tab-silent"

in your .bashrc, .zshrc or equivalent

The Mac OS X command open allows this directly:

  $ open -a macvim filename.ext

which permits:

  $ alias mvim="open -a macvim"

as a shortcut.

I have found issue with this recently. When I have multiple tabs open, and then attempt to open multiple files after that, it opens them all in a split view :/

Ah, but if I set it up as an alias, I can't use it with other apps that have a configurable "Send to editor" function. :)
