description

This is an adaptation of opsplorer (vimscript #362), intended to be more like the Total Comander (http://www.ghisler.com) file explorer. This opens two panels of file explorers on the top half of the vim screen. Targets for moving and copying defaults to the other panel, like totalcmd. TAB switches between panels. Vimcommander keys are mostly totalcommander's: F3 - view F4 - edit F5 - copy F6 - move F7 - create dir F8 - del Others: C-U, C-Left/C-Right, C-R, BS, DEL, C-H, etc. Selection of files/dirs also works: INS, +, -. Then copy/move/del selected files. Suggested binding is noremap <silent> <F11> :cal VimCommanderToggle()<CR> Tested on Linux. I have reports that it doesn't work on Windows. If you want to contribute, note that vimcommander is hosted at github: http://github.com/lpenz/vimcommander/.

install details
