|
-== What does it provide?
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-It does 3 things that will be explained in detail further below:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-=== It shows things on start!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-If you start Vim without giving any filenames or piping text to it, Startify
|
|
|
-will show a pretty start screen that shows a configurable list of files or
|
|
|
-directories:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- *Custom header*: How about some ASCII art action?
|
|
|
- Perhaps even dynamically generated?
|
|
|
- * _Default:_ `<empty>`
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- *Recently used files from directory*: List recently modified files
|
|
|
- from the current directory recursively. The list can also be filtered.
|
|
|
- * _Default:_ `<enabled>`
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- *Recently used files*: List recently used files. The
|
|
|
- list can also be filtered.
|
|
|
- * _Default:_ `<enabled>`
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- *Sessions*: List all your sessions from a certain
|
|
|
- directory.
|
|
|
- * _Default:_ `~/.vim/session`
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- *Bookmarks*: Define bookmarks, thus entries for files that will always be
|
|
|
- listed.
|
|
|
- * _Default:_ `<empty>`
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- *Custom footer*: Same as the custom header.. but at the
|
|
|
- bottom.
|
|
|
- * _Default:_ `<empty>`
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-TIP: See `:h startify-options` for more information.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-==== Powerful menu handling
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-You can either navigate the menu by using the usual suspects (`j`, `G`, `}`
|
|
|
-etc.) and hit `<cr>` or just key in whatever is written between the square
|
|
|
-brackets on that line. You can even double-click anywhere on the line.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-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), `v` (open in vertical
|
|
|
-split) or `t` (open in tab) for marking it. You can mark several entries and
|
|
|
-also mix different markers. Afterwards execute all the markers in the order
|
|
|
-they were given via `<cr>`.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-In case you don't want to open a file, there is also `e` for creating an empty
|
|
|
-buffer, `i` for creating an empty buffer and jumping into insert mode and `q`
|
|
|
-for quitting.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-When one or more files were opened by Startify, it will close automatically.
|
|
|
-You can always reopen the screen via `:Startify`.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-==== Easy session handling
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-TIP: Please read and understand `:help 'sessionoptions'` if you work with
|
|
|
-sessions.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Essentially there are two supported workflows for handling sessions that will
|
|
|
-be shown here:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-*The Startify way:*
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The handling of loading, saving and deleting sessions is eased by always
|
|
|
-working with one and the same directory. These commands are used for
|
|
|
-convenience:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- :SLoad load a session
|
|
|
- :SSave save a session
|
|
|
- :SDelete delete a session
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-TIP: See `:h startify-commands` for more information.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The advantage of always using the same directory is that Startify can
|
|
|
-conveniently show you a list of all your sessions.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-*The old way:*
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The old way means using `:mksession` to save a `Session.vim` file to the
|
|
|
-current directory. Imagine a project folder with a Session.vim at its root
|
|
|
-directory. This way makes it very portable.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-When Vim gets started and the file Session.vim is found in the current
|
|
|
-directory, it will be shown at the top of all lists as entry `[0]` as a
|
|
|
-shortcut.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-If you bookmark a directory (project folder, anyone?) that contains a
|
|
|
-Session.vim, and you access that directory via Startify, that session will be
|
|
|
-loaded automatically.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-*Optionally:*
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-There is even support for *persistent sessions*. Thus you load a session via
|
|
|
-Startify, add some buffers, remove some buffers, change the window layout, ..
|
|
|
-and when you finish and exit Vim, the session will be saved automatically. This
|
|
|
-works for both ways of handling sessions.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-TIP: Read `:help startify-options` to learn more about how to configure session
|
|
|
-handling to your liking.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-My own configuration can be found
|
|
|
-https://github.com/mhinz/dotfiles/blob/7e1989e902e5d9d25af5e15c2064f47a33e9d86b/vim/vimrc#L612-L642[here].
