People seem to like both, so I made both of them defaults. (I changed [i] back to [e] nevertheless.)

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. You can even
|
|
double-click anywhere on the line now.
|
|
|
|
Per default the startify buffer gets closed automatically, if an entry was
|
|
selected.
|
|
|
|
You can reopen the screen via :Startify.
|
|
|
|
If you want to open an empty buffer, hit either 'e' or 'i'. Quit via 'q'.
|
|
|
|
_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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
_NOTE_: The colors shown in the screenshot are not the default. If you want to
|
|
tune the default colors, you can overwrite the highlight groups used by startify
|
|
in your vimrc. Have a look at `:h startify-colors`, after installing the plugin.
|
|
Moreover, g:startify_enable_special is set to 0.

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:
|
|
|
|
1. git clone https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen ~/.vim/bundle/vim-pathogen
|
|
1. mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload && cd ~/.vim/autoload
|
|
1. ln -s ../bundle/vim-pathogen/autoload/pathogen.vim
|
|
|
|
Afterwards installing vim-startify is as easy as pie:
|
|
|
|
2. git clone https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify ~/.vim/bundle/vim-startify
|
|
2. start Vim
|
|
2. :Helptags
|
|
2. :h startify
|
