indeed, stuffing

(sb-ext:run-program "/usr/bin/vim" '("vim" "--servername" "lisp"
"--remote-send" "<F1>") :output t)

in (encode-message) just before (write-string string stream) does the trick
- help window appears in vim on every event in swank.

Of course this do not need to be this ugly, it might be a function which
talks to vim directly, or something alike. This is just a proof of concept.
