vim-eunuch's Introduction

eunuch.vim

Vim sugar for the UNIX shell commands that need it the most. Features include:

:Delete: Delete a buffer and the file on disk simultaneously.
:Unlink: Like :Delete, but keeps the now empty buffer.
:Move: Rename a buffer and the file on disk simultaneously.
:Rename: Like :Move, but relative to the current file's containing directory.
:Chmod: Change the permissions of the current file.
:Mkdir: Create a directory, defaulting to the parent of the current file.
:Find: Run find and load the results into the quickfix list.
:Locate: Run locate and load the results into the quickfix list.
:Wall: Write every open window. Handy for kicking off tools like guard.
:SudoWrite: Write a privileged file with sudo.
:SudoEdit: Edit a privileged file with sudo.
File type detection for sudo -e is based on original file name.
New files created with a shebang line are automatically made executable.
New init scripts are automatically prepopulated with /etc/init.d/skeleton.

Installation

If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend installing pathogen.vim, and then simply copy and paste:

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/tpope/vim-eunuch.git

Once help tags have been generated, you can view the manual with :help eunuch.
