This fork contains a small set of extensions I (dougfales) wrote for my own use as a developer who loves MacVim and uses it everyday.
I called these extensions macvim-project because I'm not very creative, and the abbreviation MVP looks cool as a prefix to the files I had to add to this fork.
Most of what I've implemented here was already available in Vim's core functionality or well known plugins:
- For a project tree, I could have just used NERDTree.
- Instead of building a Find in Project window, I could have just used
:vimgrep. - I could have just used CtrlP instead of building the Fast Find window.
- Instead of a "project" concept, I could have just stuck with Vim sessions.
But I wanted things to work exactly how I wanted them to work. So I started this fork. It doesn't make sense, I don't expect many people to find this useful, and that's ok. Vim's a truly excellent piece of software and it has been so useful to me over the years, and this is simply the way I use it now.
A view of the directory your project is based in.
Just hit ⌘-shift-d to open a file quickly.
Hit ⌘-shift-f to git grep for a piece of text.
This window will greet you on startup so you can quickly get back to a project you opened before.
This project should build in just the same way as MacVim. To get started, I do this:
cd srcmake
If you use this fork, I'd love to hear from you.
