<br>
<br>winmanager is a plugin which implements a classical windows type IDE in Vim-6.0. Basically, you have the directory tree
<br>and the buffer list as 2 windows which stay on the left and the editing is done in a seperate area on the left. People
<br>have already made excellent File and Buffer explorers seperately and I thought that it might be a cool idea to combine
<br>them both. winmanager.vim combines the standard File Explorer which ships with Vim6.0 and a Buffer Explorer written by
<br>Jeff Lanzarotta into one package. It has the following features:
<br>
<br>1. the buffer listing is dynamic: i.e as you keep changing windows, editing new files, etc, the buffer list changes
<br>dynamically. the window also resizes dynamically, i.e it tries to occupy the minimum possible space to display all the
<br>currently listed windows. also, only the filename (i.e without path) is displayed in this window. however, the full path
<br>name is echoed on the command line as one moves around.
<br>
<br>2. the file explorer window doesn't actually edit a directory. Its a new empty file with modifiable off, etc. so that it
<br>doesnt eat up buffer numbers as you roam around the directory tree. I found the original behaviour slightly annoying...
<br>Also, I didnt find a way to change drives i.e go from c:/ to h:/ in the original explorer.vim. therefore i have added a
<br>tiny new mapping 'C' which changes the currently displayed directory to pwd.
<br>
<br>Thanks!

<tr><td class="prompt">install details</td></tr>
<tr><td>For version >= 2.0
<br>=============
<br>1. copy the file to your $HOME/.vim or $HOME\vimfiles directory
<br>
<br>2. unzip it (its a zip file) at that location. this should create the files
<br> - plugin/
<br> winmanager.vim
<br> winfileexplorer.vim
<br> wintagexplorer.vim
<br> - doc/
<br> winmanager.txt
<br>
<br> IMPORTANT NOTE:
<br>
<br> i . This version of winmanager ONLY works if you have the latest version
<br> bufexplorer.vim. (<a href="/scripts/script.php?script_id=42">vimscript #42</a>).
<br> The idea is that winmanager will no longer contain a duplicate copy
<br> of bufexplorer.vim. This reduces script bloat, makes updates easier
<br> and in genral makes the world a better place.
<br>
<br>3. vim -c "helptags ~/.vim/doc" -c "q" (unix)
<br> or
<br> vim -c "helptags ~/vimfiles/doc" -c "q" (windows)
<br> (this step should install winmanager.txt as a local help file on your
<br> system. if this doesnt work, see ":he add-local-help" to see how to do
<br> it).
<br>
<br>You will also need to change the mappings you might have used with
<br>winmanager-1.x to
<br>
<br> map <c-w><c-f> :FirstExplorerWindow<cr>
<br> map <c-w><c-b> :BottomExplorerWindow<cr>
<br> map <c-w><c-t> :WMToggle<cr>
<br>
<br>and the variable name g:bufExplorerWidth has been changed to
<br>g:winManagerWidth just to be more consistent.

<br>
<br>Please see release notes for version 2.2 for changes.
<br>Once again, you need <a href="/scripts/script.php?script_id=42">vimscript #42</a> (bufexplorer.vim) for this to work.</td>

<td class="roweven" valign="top"><i><a href="/account/profile.php?user_id=247">Srinath Avadhanula</a></i></td>
<td class="roweven" valign="top" width="2000">New Features:
<br>1. The file explorer now has a favorite directories option. The list of
<br> favourite directories is shown above the current listing with '+'
<br> signs prefixed to each fav dir. In order to change to a favorite
<br> directory, you just go to that dir and press <enter>. Set g:favDirs
<br> in your ~/.vimrc to use set a default list of favorite directories.
<br> This is a new-line seperated list of directories. For example:
<br> let g:favDirs =
<br> 'e:/srinath/testing/vim/vimfiles/plugin/'."\n".
<br> 'e:/srinath/testing/vim/vimfiles/ftplugin/'."\n".
<br> 'e:/srinath/testing/vim/vimfiles/compiler/'
<br> After startup, you can use 'f' to add the currently displayed
<br> directory to the favourites.
<br> NOTE: Use full path names. Use a trailing back-slash is safe.
<br> NOTE: Use double quotes to enter a new-line.
<br> NOTE: By default, $HOME is always included in the list. Do *not*
<br> include it in g:favDirs.
<br>
<br>2. wintagexplorer.vim now has a feature where it saves its display in a
<br> file .vimtagsdisplay in the tags directory. This speeds up display
<br> next time you use wintagexplorer. useful if you work with large tags
<br> files.
<br> Put
<br> let g:saveTagsDisplay = 0
<br> in your ~/.vimrc to disable this feature.
<br>
<br>3. There are a couple of more functions which winmanager exposes.
<br> 1. WinManagerGetLastEditedFile(n)
<br> returns the n^th last file being edited.
<br> 2. IsWinManagerVisible()
<br> returns 1 or 0 depending on whether explorer windows are visible.
<br> These functions are internally necessary for adding on
<br> FlistTree.vim to winmanager.vim. This is a new addon to winmanager
<br> based on Dr. Charles E. Campbell's flisttree utility which
<br> graphically shows the function dependency within C files.
<br> FlistTree.vim is expected to be released shortly.
<br>
<br>ug Fixes:
<br>1. When a file is chosen from the bufexplorer list and its not currently
<br> visible, then the cursor jumps back to the first row.
<br>
<br>2. Sometimes the <C-N> and <C-p> mappings would be lost, when an
<br> explorer didnt display properly.
<br>
<br>3. Several bugs in wintagexplorer.vim have been resolved.
<br> (Thanks to Madoka Machitani and Mike Williams for valuable help).
<br> wintagexplorer.vim is also more intelligent about remembering its
<br> display.

<td class="rowodd" valign="top" width="2000"> 1. worked on improving the speed of wintagexplorer.vim
<br> (the latest version is almost 3 times faster than the previous
<br> version and faster for larger files).
<br> 2. removed some bugs from wintagexplorer.vim where the mappings would
<br> dissapear because of caching.
<br> 3. fixed some important documentation bugs (thanks to Madoka
<br> Machitani.)
<br> 4. also used an augroup for the autocommands used in winmanager to
<br> better handle cases where the autcommands are deleted. (thanks to
<br> Madoka again)
<br> 5. made fileexplorer.vim not screw up the search history. this was
<br> caused because of ^"= getting into the search history.
<br> (thanks to Jeff Lanzarotta and Xiangjiang Ma).
<br>
<br> NOTE: I frequently get asked the following question:
<br> Q. From version 2.0, the command :GotoBufExplorerWindow does not work.
<br> Whats wrong?
<br> A. Starting from 2.0, the commands have been changed as follows:
<br> old new
<br> GotoFileExplorerWindow -----> FirstExplorerWindow
<br> GotoBufExplorerWindow -----> BottomExplorerWindow

<br>1. One of the major new features of this version is (hopefully, touch wood,
<br>etc) its stability. It has undergone extensive QA by Xiangjiang Ma (and
<br>other users of the 2.0 beta version have also been using it for a couple of
<br>weeks and have reported a few bugs). A big thanks to him (and others) for
<br>all the valuable help. Infact a lot of the new features and the
<br>implementation methods owe their style/origin to his ideas.
<br>
<br>2. This version of winmanager no longer ships with a duplicate of
<br>bufexplorer.vim. This has many advantages such as a reduction in script
<br>bloat and in general promotes the idea of modularity. The latest version of
<br>bufexplorer.vim (see above) provides hooks so that winmanager can
<br>communicate with it. (thanks to Jeff Lanzarotta for making the necessary
<br>changes).
<br>
<br>3. Becuase of some new features of bufexplorer.vim, winmanager is able to
<br>offer better dynamic behavior. For example, when you open up winmanager
<br>when your editing only a single buffer, bufexplorer will not be shown. As
<br>soon as at least 2 buffers are opened, bufexplorer is automatically opened.
<br>
<br>4. This version provides an easy way to customize the window layout of
<br>winmanager using non-default values of the global variable,
<br>g:winManagerWindowLayout. (see ":he winmanager-customizing" for details).
<br>
<br>5. This version also provides a way to use winmanager.vim to "edit"
<br>directories instead of the standard exploerer.vim. To do this, you will
<br>need to disable the standard explorer.vim (either by renaming it to
<br>explorer.txt or putting ":let loaded_explorer = 1" in your .vimrc). You
<br>then need to put
<br> :let g:defaultExplorer = 0
<br>in your .vimrc to let winmanager know that its supposed to take over.
<br>
<br>6. I have tried to set-up a framework wherby it is very easy to add other
<br>IDE type plugins to winmanager. By this I mean that a plugin author
<br>could, with the minimum of effort make a plugin which can be integrated
<br>into winmanager.
<br>
<br>7. For the purpose of demonstrating the first feature, in this new version,
<br>winmanager also ships with another lightweight plugin called
<br>tagsexplorer.vim. This is an elementary plugin which shows the tags in the
<br>present directory in a fancy manner and offers some simple ways of
<br>navigating between them.
