description

This is a Vim plugin that adds several ways to “harvest” file paths from the NERD Tree directory browser. Harvest creates four mappings in the NERD Tree window: y, Y, ;, and !. Each mapping reads one or more additional characters to pick a path modifier and then performs an operation with the modified path. For example, yh yanks the path to the file's parent directory, much as :cd %:h changes the current directory to the parent of the file in the current buffer. See :help filename-modifiers for details on how these transform a file path. NERD Tree only shows these four mappings in the help list; you can hit ? after starting a mapping to see a summary of available modifiers, or consult the tables below. If the vim window is wide enough, ? will print names after each modifier key, otherwise just keys shown. Pressing ? a second time will show the full explanation, wrapping the echo line. Modifier Name Path Modification . relative :. File path from current working directory ~ home :~ File path from home directory, or absolute p absolute :p Absolute path from filesystem root h head :h Path without the last component (parent directory) H rel+head :.:h Relative path to parent directory t tail :t Final path component (file name) r root :r Path with last extension removed (/a/b.c → /a/b) R tail+root :t:r Tail with last extension removed (/a/b.c → b) e extension :e Last extension of the file name (/a/b.c → c) : modifier : Arbitrary modifier, type enter to end e.g. :~:h<CR> ? help Echo a list of modifiers, continue reading next one A doubled mapping (yy, YY, ;;, or !!) reuses the previous modifier for the given type (yank, Ex, shell). The : modifier type reads additional keys until you press enter (<CR>). The full input is used as a modifier of arbitrary length. Example uses of : are shown in the following table, read :help filename-modifiers for a full list. Command Effect y:~:h Yank the parent directory of a file, relative to your home directory y:h:h Yank the path to the parent’s parent y:t:S Yank the shell-quoted/escaped file name, without leading path y:8 (Windows-only) Yanks the “8.3” DOS form of a path y:.:gs#/#.#:r Yank the relative path with / replaced by . and file extension removed The final example could be useful to reference a fully-qualified Java class.
