Marco Hinz 267c7abe72 new option: g:startify_skiplist_server Before this we ignored all Vim server instances. That was a bad decision. Apart from some weird cases, where servernames were set, it totally slipped my attention, that gvim would always set a servername. Sorry, for breaking this plugin for all gvim users! I removed the check and added a configurable list of servernames to be ignored.		2013-04-26 10:18:31 +02:00

vim-startify

Startify basically provides two things:

1) If you start Vim without giving any filenames to it (or pipe stuff to it so it reads from STDIN), startify will show a small but pretty start screen which shows recently used files (using viminfo) and sessions by default.

Additionally, you can define bookmarks, thus entries for files that always should be available in the start screen.

You can either navigate to a certain menu entry or you just key in whatever is written between the square brackets on that line.

2) It eases handling of loading and saving sessions by only working with a certain directory. Two commands are used for convenience:

  :SLoad    load a session
  :SSave    save a session

NOTE: Both commands can also take session names directly as an argument. You can also make use of completion via <c-u> and <tab>.

The default settings are pretty sane, so it should work without any configuration.

Feedback, please!

If you like any of my plugins, star it on github. This is a great way of getting feedback! Same for issues or feature requests.

Thank you for flying mhi airlines. Get the Vim on!

Installation

If you have no preferred installation method, I suggest using tpope's pathogen:

git clone https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen ~/.vim/bundle/vim-pathogen
mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload && cd ~/.vim/autoload
ln -s ../bundle/vim-pathogen/autoload/pathogen.vim

Afterwards installing vim-startify is as easy as pie:

git clone https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify ~/.vim/bundle/vim-startify
start Vim
:Helptags
:h startify

Documentation

:h startify
