DefX not always opening in correct split about thinkvim HOT 18 CLOSED

@Cyberlane in allkey.vim please add this . you can use localeader+a to find the currentfile in defx

if dein#tap('defx.nvim')
        nnoremap <silent> <Leader>e
                \ :<C-u>Defx -resume -toggle -buffer-name=tab`tabpagenr()`<CR>
        nnoremap <silent> <LocalLeader>a
		\ :<C-u>Defx -search=`expand('%:p')` `getcwd()`<CR>
endif

from thinkvim.

use s or i in defx to split or vsplit

from thinkvim.

@taigacute that would open it in a new split or vsplit - but if I want to replace an existing split's content with another file selected in defx?

In NerdTree I had a binding that would open current file in NerdTree, which would move my cursor to that file in NerdTree, and then I could pick another file, open it, and it would replace that split with the new file.

from thinkvim.

I experienced all these things @Cyberlane and found that it is the best to switch NerdTree. for me it takes too much time for learning to use a simple file tree.

from thinkvim.

@emeentag there was no performance issues in doing this? I really appreciate the massive performance I get with ThinkVim, but if I can go back to NerdTree without any performance concerns, I would be happy to put that into my config.

from thinkvim.

I did not have any performance issues. We have a huge code base un here and test on it without any performance issues. In a codebase like defx responding sometimes with a delay 1 second. But nerdtree works perfect. Project contains variety of files like java css js less etc...

from thinkvim.

you can try to uncomment this keymap https://github.com/taigacute/ThinkVim/blob/master/core/plugins/allkey.vim#L181

and use localleader+a, please test it.

from thinkvim.

@taigacute sorry for slow replies, I am at work trying to use VIM to edit code, at the same time as reporting these issues I find :)

from thinkvim.

@emeentag I think I am going to copy your config for my work machine, and run NerdTree just so I can continue to feel productive at the office, thanks!

@taigacute your <LocalLeader> a snippet works great! I will play around a bit more with defx on my personal machines, but for the office machine I am finding this slows me down a bit too often.

from thinkvim.

@Cyberlane sure feel free to have it. It might not be the best but for me it feels perfect with ThinkVim structure.

from thinkvim.

Closing the issue now, as it seems there is no real issue with ThinkVim, and it is more about how DefX works. The solution is to better understand defx, make more kind bindings, and work more the way defx wants you to work (or use another File Manager).

from thinkvim.

it depends on you . you can add nerdtree in your local_plugin.yaml . i have nedtree config in plugins folder.

from thinkvim.

@taigacute I tried that, and it did not auto install anything. Perhaps it is cached and not checking if there is new content in that file? I will experiment a bit with it this evening.

from thinkvim.

ADD these into your local_plugins.yaml

- repo: scrooloose/nerdtree
  on_map: { n: <Plug> }
  trusted: 1
  hook_post_source: source  $VIMPATH/core/plugins/nerdtree.vim
- repo: tiagofumo/vim-nerdtree-syntax-highlight
  hook_add: |
    let g:NERDTreeSyntaxDisableDefaultExtensions = 1
    let g:NERDTreeDisableExactMatchHighlight = 1
    let g:NERDTreeDisablePatternMatchHighlight = 1
    let g:NERDTreeSyntaxEnabledExtensions = ['go', 'py', 'html', 'css', 'jsx', 'js', 'vim','json','md','c','cpp','java','php','groovy']
- { repo: Xuyuanp/nerdtree-git-plugin, on_source: nerdtree }

then add these into your local_settings.vim

if dein#tap('nerdtree')
        "nerdtree
        nnoremap <silent><localleader>e :NERDTreeToggle <CR>
        nnoremap <silent> <localleader>f :NERDTreeFind<CR>
endif

from thinkvim.

and

It does not seem to be loading the /core/local/local_plugins.yaml file. I am not sure if this is perhaps related to the issue though:

Does denite_menu.vim need the local plugin path updated?

from thinkvim.

Strange, it must have been some type of caching issue as it works fine on my machines at home.
I will clear the cache on the machine at the office tomorrow, and hopefully it will be okay.

Thanks again for the help!

from thinkvim.

i set the auto cache.but i dont sure it works well. please try to recache runtimepath.

from thinkvim.

I had to remove the dein cache folder, and then it worked just fine.
