WIP

dirvish.vim ⚡

Path navigator designed to work with Vim's built-in mechanisms and complementary plugins.

Features

• Simple: Each line is just a filepath
• Flexible: Mash up the buffer with :g, automate it with g:dirvish_mode
• Safe: Never modifies the filesystem
• Intuitive: Visual selection opens multiple files
• Reliable: Less code, fewer bugs (96% smaller than netrw).

Concepts

Lines are filepaths

Each Dirvish buffer contains only filepaths, hidden by conceal.

• Use plain old y to yank a path, then feed it to :r or :e or whatever.
• Sort with :sort, filter with :global. Hit R to reload.
• :set ft=dirvish on any buffer to enable Dirvish features:

  git ls-files | vim +'setf dirvish' -
  

Buffer name is the directory name

So commands and plugins that work with @% and @# do the Right Thing.

• Create directories:

  :!mkdir %foo
  

• Create files:

  :e %foo.txt
  

Edit Dirvish buffers

For any purpose. It's safe and reversible.

• Use :sort or :global to re-arrange the view, delete lines with d, etc.
• Pipe to :! to see inline results:

  :'<,'>!xargs du -hs
