Viler

Viler is a file explorer plugin for Vim, with an ability of editing directory structures by hand.

Status

v0.1.3 (Beta version)

Currently basic file operations (adding, copying, moving, deleting) should work well.

Features

• Editable
• Tree view
• Multiple window support

Because you can edit a filer as a normal text, there is no need to configure and remember how to add/copy/move/delete files.
Just edit lines as you like. When you save it Viler detects changes and applies them to the actual file system.
See the help document for the details.

Installation

Clone this repository and add this to your runtimepath.

If you use vim-plug:

Plug 'ryym/vim-viler'

Limitations

There are some limitations for editing.
We think some of them could be eliminated in future.

• You cannot undo/redo saving.
• You cannot add/edit files inside of an added/edited directory.
• You cannot save multiple filers separately. If you save one filer, all open filers are saved and changes are applied.
