		Prolitheus on Sept 26, 2009 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Efficient Editing With vim Nerd Tree is indeed a good one, and I'll add to this vimfs, which isn't a Vim plugin but rather a CLI file system browser with Vim bindings. I hardly ever actually browse my file system (zfs, grep, and locate do all of the work for me), so I'm not sure how much mileage one can get out of this (especially compared to something like Midnight Commander).

My preference is to use things like cd and ls to browse the filesystem. When I'm feeling really fancy, I might use tree.

Do you sometimes let loose and use tree -C?

apotheon on Sept 26, 2009 | | [–]

I have done so, but not in a long time. Then again, I haven't even used tree in a long time. Maybe I don't really use it any longer.

Hmm. . . .
