description

PLEASE READ THE INSTALL SECTION. - The script provides a pushd/popd functionality for Vim taking Bash as a   reference. It defines new commands called Pushd, Popd and Cd and Dirs.   It also defines abbreviations pushd and popd (the lower case versions)   to make it easier to type and get used to, but if it causes any   trouble for your regular command line typing (as the abbreviations are   expanded anywhere you type), just set the g:pushpopNoAbbrev variable in   your .vimrc, or install cmdalias.vim also along with PushPop.vim (in   which case additional abbreviations are defined for dirs and cdp as   well). The cmdalias.vim plugin provides support for defining   abbreviations that expand only at the start of the command-line, which   make the abbreviations behave just like bash aliases, or like the Vim   built-in commands (read the plugin's description for more information). - Most of the Bash pushd/popd syntax is supported. - The plugin integrates seamlessly with the vim features such as 'cdpath'.   It handles the protected command and space chars correctly as expected,   however, unprotected spaces are not treated as separators (which is the   case with 'cdpath' for the sake of backward compatibility with age old   vim 3.0). - Vim provides a "cd -" command to quickly jump back to the previous   directory on the lines of bash, to make it complete, the script   sets the g:OLDPWD variable to mimic the $OLDPWD variable of bash. - The Cdp command will push the directory of the current file on to the   stack and cd into it. - It provides commands to make it easy to manipulate the "cdpath" and save   and restore it (unless the persistence feature of genutils.vim is   disabled), without needing to manually edit the vimrc. The "PPAddDir"   command will allow you to add the specified directory or the current   directory (with no arguments) to 'cdpath'. The "PPRemoveDir" command can   be used to remove a directory by its name or index, or just the current   directory (whith no arguments). Both commands accept "-l" as an option   to specify the directory argument literally (the directory name is then   not modified). The "-l" option with no arguments can also be used to   add/remove "empty" directory entry (represented as ^, or ,, or ,$ in the   'cdpath'). If you need to add entried that have wild-cards in them (such   as "src/**", the above commands can't be used as Vim will try to expand   the wildcards before the plugin can see them, so in this case use   "PPAddPat" and "PPRemovePat" commands. Pass "-l" option to avoid   modification. - To view the list of directories in your 'cdpath', use the regular "set   cdpath?" command or just "Cdpath". In addition, the "Cd" command accepts   "-i" option to cd directly into one of the directories in 'cdpath'. With   no arguments, you will be prompted with the list of directories to   select from, and with an index as the argument (starting from 0), you   can directly cd into the directory at that index. - If g:pushpopCdable_vars is set, the plugin emulates the bash   'cdable_vars' feature. When the built-in ":cd" fails, the argument is   assumed to be the name of a global variable whose value is the directory   to change to. Normally, you don't necessarily need to use the :Cd   command instead of :cd command, but in this particular case, the feature   will not work unless you use the :Cd command. Consider aliasing :cd to   :Cd as described in Deprecations section below. - The main functions are also exposed as global functions, which can be used   by the script writers to recursively traverse directories and finally   return back to the original directory. Please see the script header for more information such as deprecations etc. Please send in your comments/feedback/suggestions/contributions for improving the script. ================================================= You can refer to the bash manual page for more information on how to use Pushd, Popd and Dirs commands. In case you don't have access to it, here is an extract from bash man page (on cygwin):        pushd [-n] [dir]        pushd [-n] [+n] [-n]               Adds a directory to the top of the directory stack,               or  rotates  the  stack,  making the new top of the               stack the current working directory.  With no argu-               ments,   exchanges  the  top  two  directories  and               returns 0, unless the  directory  stack  is  empty.               Arguments,  if  supplied,  have the following mean-               ings:               +n     Rotates the stack so that the nth  directory                      (counting from the left of the list shown by                      dirs, starting with zero) is at the top.               -n     Rotates the stack so that the nth  directory                      (counting  from  the right of the list shown                      by dirs, starting with zero) is at the  top.               -n     Suppresses  the  normal  change of directory                      when adding directories  to  the  stack,  so                      that only the stack is manipulated.               dir    Adds  dir to the directory stack at the top,                      making it the new current working directory.               If  the pushd command is successful, a dirs is per-               formed as well.  If the first form is  used,  pushd               returns  0  unless  the  cd to dir fails.  With the               second form, pushd returns 0 unless  the  directory        popd [-n] [+n] [-n]               Removes  entries from the directory stack.  With no               arguments,  removes  the  top  directory  from  the               stack,  and performs a cd to the new top directory.               Arguments, if supplied, have  the  following  mean-               ings:               +n     Removes the nth entry counting from the left                      of the list shown  by  dirs,  starting  with                      zero.   For example: ``popd +0'' removes the                      first directory, ``popd +1'' the second.               -n     Removes the  nth  entry  counting  from  the                      right  of  the  list shown by dirs, starting                      with zero.  For example: ``popd -0'' removes                      the  last directory, ``popd -1'' the next to                      last.               -n     Suppresses the normal  change  of  directory                      when removing directories from the stack, so                      that only the stack is manipulated.               If the popd command is successful, a dirs  is  per-               formed  as  well, and the return status is 0.  popd               returns false if an invalid option is  encountered,               the directory stack is empty, a non-existent direc-               stack is empty, a non-existent directory stack ele-               ment is specified, or the directory change  to  the               specified new current directory fails.               tory stack entry is  specified,  or  the  directory               change fails.        dirs [-clpv] [+n] [-n]               Without  options,  displays  the  list of currently               remembered directories.  The default display is  on               a  single  line  with  directory names separated by               spaces.  Directories are added to the list with the               pushd  command;  the  popd  command removes entries               from the list.               +n     Displays the nth  entry  counting  from  the                      left  of the list shown by dirs when invoked                      without options, starting with zero.               -n     Displays the nth  entry  counting  from  the                      right of the list shown by dirs when invoked                      without options, starting with zero.               -c     Clears the directory stack by  deleting  all                      of the entries.               -l     Produces a longer listing; the default list-                      ing format uses a tilde to denote  the  home                      directory.               -p     Print the directory stack with one entry per                      line.               -v     Print the directory stack with one entry per                      line, prefixing each entry with its index in                      the stack.               The return value is 0 unless an invalid  option  is               supplied  or n indexes beyond the end of the direc-               tory stack. ================================================= Search_key_words: push pop directory cd change bash csh dirs pushpop genutils Hari Krishna Dara

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
PushPop.vim	4.0	2007-02-02	7.0	Hari Krishna Dara	Made to work with Vim7. Also, it uses the Vim7 Lists instead of multvals, so it no longer depends on multvals and it is a lot cleaner.
PushPop.vim	2.4	2003-08-28	6.0	Hari Krishna Dara	- Refined the handling of 'cdpath'. It works better now. - Subtle improvements in the Pushd/Popd command usage. - Delayed syncing is used to sync the top level directory in the stack with the current directory. You don't have to use the custom Cd command anymore, which means one less abbreviation to deal with. This also means that it will work seamlessly with other plugins that change directory as well (like fileexplorer). - The script now takes advantage of cmdalias.vim when available for creating aliases to the capitalized commands. This is better than the plain cabbr's. - There is a new 'cdable_vars' feature on the lines of bash. - Fixed some misc. minor issues. Please read the complete header in the script for changes and new usage.
PushPop.vim	2.3	2002-12-26	6.0	Hari Krishna Dara	- Fixed bugs. - Respect protected commas in cdpath and directory names. - Minor improvements: Pushd also now takes -i argument. AddDir and RemoveDir take -l argument. Use g:pushpopPersistCdpath to control the persistnce of cdpath. - Requires the new version of multvals.vim
PushPop.vim	2.2	2002-08-14	6.0	Hari Krishna Dara	I missed to do an integration, so ended up with a wrong file here. I apologize, please update your version with this.
PushPop.vim	2.1	2002-08-14	6.0	Hari Krishna Dara	I have totally redesigned it to work seamlessly with vim's cd and cdpath features. You can now pushd into a diretory that is in the cdpath. Also added new commands to manage the cdpath itself, without needing to change the .vimrc. Removed unnecessary command-line abbreviations. Removed Cdp command as it is a duplicate of "cd -" command and renamed Cdc command as Cdp. The script now requires genutils.vim for storing and retrieving cdpath.
PushPop.vim	2.0.5	2002-03-19	6.0	Hari Krishna Dara	Fixed pushd with no-arg to switch between the top two dirs, instead of rotating (like with an index). Fixed cd to not to do a dirs. Added new commands cdp to quickly go back to the previous directory and cdc to pushd in to the directory of the currently open file.
PushPop.vim	2.0.2	2002-02-10	6.0	Hari Krishna Dara	I finally made the script complete and plugin compatible. It now supports most of the bash pushd/popd syntax and is very compliant with it in the functionality and messages. Give it a shot, I am sure you will like it. It also provided an commandline abbreviation for cd command to adjust the top most directory. You can set the global variable pushpopNoAbbrev to disable the commandline abbreviations such as cd, dirs, pushd etc., if they interfere with your regular usage.
