Adds a new menu to vim
You can add your favourite files (and dirs) into it, and open them later by clicking on the corresponding menu item.
The file list is persistent, data is stored in a file, which is the value of the $FAVOURITES
This variable should hold the name of your favourites files with full path.
So it must look like "~/.vim_favourites" or 'c:\program files\vim\_favourites'.
 
install details
Drop it into your plugin directory.

FavMenu.vim 0.34 2016-08-12 7.0 Gergely Kontra Thank this bugfix release to Zhen-Huan Hu

* Fixed bug when $LANG is empty
* Use _vimfavourites as default file name for Windows

!!! New version of script follows vim filename conventions, which means prior windows users should rename their .vimfavourites files to _vimfavourites !!!
