This is a mirror of http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1890 LustyExplorer is a fast and responsive way to manage files and buffers in Vim. It includes a filesystem explorer, a buffer switcher, and a buffer grep for searching through and switching between files and buffers quickly, all through a mostly common interface. Short demo videos folks have made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLMKVYqdarY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39A-VoPnsI0 Older stuff (pre v2.0 - we now use fuzzy matching instead of tab completion): http://sjbach.com/lusty-explorer-animated.gif http://sjbach.com/lusty-explorer-annotated.png Instructions: :LustyFilesystemExplorer :LustyFilesystemExplorerFromHere :LustyBufferExplorer :LustyBufferGrep (for searching through all open buffers) <Leader>lf - Opens filesystem explorer. <Leader>lr - Opens filesystem explorer at the directory of the current file. <Leader>lb - Opens buffer explorer. <Leader>lg - Opens buffer grep. When one of the explorers is launched, a new window appears at bottom presenting a table of files/dirs or buffers, and in the status bar is a prompt: >> As you type a name, the table updates using a fuzzy matching algorithm (or regex matching in the case of grep). Press enter to open the selected match, <C-n>/<C-p> to select the next/previous match, or press <ESC> or <Ctrl-c> to cancel. See the "Usage:" section of the script for other tricks and features.
