VIM directory tree plug-in and file search plug-in

Today I will introduce to you two essential VIM plug-ins for development, directory tree and quick file search plug-ins. People who use them say they are good, but I won’t tell most people. O(∩_∩)Ohaha~

Nerd tree

We know that vim has directory file management by default. For development For a slightly larger project, it would be very inconvenient. But with the NerdTree plug-in, this need can be met.

Github address: https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree

After installation, open the vim editor. By default, no directory tree appears on the left side. You need to type NERDTreeToggle on the command line. Then a directory tree will appear on the left.

This is still a bit inconvenient. We need to add a few lines to the configuration file.vimrc. Use mapping to facilitate our operations.

nnoremap <leader>v :NERDTreeFind<CR>
nnoremap <leader>g :NERDTreeToggle<CR>
let NERDTreeShowHidden=1
let NERDTreeIgnore = [&#39;\.pyc&#39;,&#39;\~$&#39;,&#39;\.swp&#39;, &#39;\.git&#39;]

• NERDTreeFind means to find the location of the directory tree where the current file is located.

• NERDTreeToggle indicates switching the display of the directory tree

• NERDTreeShowHidden indicates whether to display hidden files

• NERDTreeIgnore Indicates which files are not displayed

In the directory tree, use the key j to move files down and the k key to move files up. For folders, the enter key switches the folder open and closed, and for files, it opens the file.

ctrlp

With the file directory tree, it is indeed much more convenient to develop projects. But there is still a problem that has not been solved. If the directory level is relatively deep, it will be very troublesome to find them one by one every time. Is there any good solution? Yes, you can use the ctrlp plug-in.

ctrlp is a plug-in that quickly finds files and opens them. It is also very powerful. It supports fuzzy search and is very fast.

ctrlp’s github address is: https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim. We use vim-plug to install it. After installation is complete, then set its shortcut keys.

let g:ctrlp_map = &#39;<c-p>&#39;

After installing and configuring it, let’s see how it is used. Open the vim editor, press ctrl p, and enter the file you want to open.

You can see that all matching files are displayed. Then, move the matching files up and down via ctrl j and ctrl k.

Let me introduce you to a little trick to quickly locate the directory tree where the file is located.

• First find the file you want to open through ctrl p

• Locate the file

• Enter v to quickly locate the directory location where the file is located.
