VimExplorer: a Vim plugin serving as a file manager.
VimExplorer is a powerful Vim plugin that serves as a file manager, offering users a myriad of file operations capabilities, including copying, deleting, moving, previewing, searching, and more. Moreover, the plugin boasts a range of other features, such as customization abilities, making it ideal for users who need to manage their files efficiently.
Starting VimExplorer is a breeze, as it only requires a simple command: > :VE. Once executed, the plugin will ask for the starting directory, with the default being the current path. However, users can change this to any other directory by typing in their preferred path or simply hitting "Enter" to proceed.
Alternatively, users can also start VimExplorer using a second option: > :VE [directory], such as > :VE /usr/src/. If the user opts for this method, VimExplorer will start using the specified directory as its starting point. Additionally, while typing in the directory path, tabs and < ctrl-d > will help users complete the path automatically.
Upon successful initiation, users will see a new tab with two panels – the "Tree Panel" and the "File Panel." These panels provide users with easy access to all their files, making it effortless to move, copy, or delete files while using this powerful file manager.
VimExplorer has certain requirements and can be easily installed by putting vimExplorer.vim to the plugin/ directory. Users can also anticipate some new features, including the addition of an option called VEConf_filePanelFilter, bug fixes, changes to hotkeys, confirmation dialogues instead of input(), and more.
Overall, if you're a Vim user looking to better manage your files, VimExplorer is definitely worth checking out. It's an incredibly powerful file manager that makes it easy to perform all the essential file operation tasks efficiently.
