treeexplorer

Treeexplorer is a project mainly written in VIM SCRIPT and PERL, it's free.

uses perl and tree to create a tree file explorer

This is a mirror of http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=183

IMPORTANT: See UPDATES below - this script is now an orphan

Uses perl and the unix tree command (available on linux, or find sources on freshmeat.net) to create a tree based explorer for your directory structure. Features:

  • directories are foldable
  • different filetypes are highlighed
  • open a file in a new window
  • mappings for naviagation,
  • lazy loading of directory structure

Caveats: Probably doesn't work right for non-unix systems, I'm working on this, but help is welcome

UPDATES:

  • I have reimplemented this script using only vim. The new implementation can be found at http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=184 - vimtreeexplorer.vim. That approach is faster as well as requiring no external programs. I have now abandoned the original implementation because the new implementation can do recursive expansion if you want it to.
