*** Download the newest version of this plugin on Github: https://github.com/sjbach/lusty *** 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. If you like LustyExplorer, you may also like LustyJuggler: vimscript #2050 Development repository: http://github.com/sjbach/lusty

install details

Copy the plugin/ and autoload/ directories into your $HOME/.vim/ directory. NOTE: This plugin requires Vim be compiled with Ruby interpretation.  If you do not currently have this functionality, see the "Install Details:" section of the script for directions to add it. If adding Ruby is an issue for you, you may want to try LycosaExplorer, a Python port of this plugin: vimscript #3659
