Overview

Provides shell-like commands such as 'rm', 'ls', and so on from cmd-line.

Description

The vim-shellutils provides shell-like commands such as 'rm', 'ls', and so on. This plugin is written in pure Vim script. This is because you can execute shell-like commands as long as you have huge Vim 7.3+. In addition, thanks to this plugin, you can execute it without exiting the Vim. If you want to make some direcotries, all you have to do is type :Mkdir dirA dirB from cmd-line.

Requirement

Vim (+Huge) 7.3 or more

Usage

Ls

:Ls[!] [{path}]

Show up some files in the {path} directory to cmd-line. If you want to show up all the files, including the files that begin with a dot in the {path} directory, then please put a bang. (:Ls!) If you omit the {path}, the current directory is specified as {path}.

File

:File [{path}]

Display {path} file information to cmd-line.If the {path} argument is omitted, set current buffer as {path}. The :File display many file information such as 'ls -l' of shell.

For example,

[file] rw-r--r-- 2014-08-15 17:02:58 (5KB) shellutils.txt

Rm

:Rm[!] [{path}]

Remove the {path} file. If the {path} argument is omitted, remove the current buffer. The :Rm inquires whether you really delete the {path} file. If you don't do this, then please put a bang. (:Rm!)
