This is it. A splash screen for Vim.
|
|
|
|
What does it provide?
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
__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
|
|
that shows recently used files (using viminfo) and sessions by default.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, you can define bookmarks, thus entries for files that always
|
|
should be available on the start screen.
|
|
|
|
You can either navigate to a certain menu entry and hit enter 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.
|
|
|
|
In addition, `e` creates an empty buffer, `i` creates an empty buffer and
|
|
jumps into insert mode, `q` quits.
|
|
|
|
Moreover, you can open several files at one go. Navigate to an entry and
|
|
hit either `b` (open in same window), `s` (open in split) or `v` (open in
|
|
vertical split). You can do that for multiple entries. You can also mix
|
|
them. The order of the selections will be remembered. Afterwards execute
|
|
these actions via `<cr>`.
|
|
|
|
When the selection is finished, Startify will close automatically. You can
|
|
reopen the screen via `:Startify`.
|
|
|
|
And you can define your own custom ascii art header now!
|
|
|
|
__2)__ It eases handling of loading and saving sessions by only working with a
|
|
certain directory. These commands are used for convenience:
|
|
|
|
:SLoad load a session
|
|
:SSave save a session
|
|
:SDelete delete a session
|
|
|
|
__NOTE__: These commands can also take session names directly as an argument.
|
|
You can also make use of completion via `<c-d>` and `<tab>`.

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
|
|
|
|
It works without any configuration, but you might want to look into the
|
|
documentation for further customization.
