It makes the most sense to sort the global bookmarks list just before
rendering them in the NERDTree window. Since Vim's sort function is fast
and stable, and since users are very unlikely to have a number of
bookmarks that is too large, we can sort before rendering without
concern for the negligible performance penalty.
This has two benefits:
1. Users can change their sort settings and have them take effect
on the next render or refresh.
2. As mentioned, code duplication is avoided.
Sorting the list of user bookmarks requires care to ensure that Vim's
builtin sort function is called correctly. Previously, this function was
called incorrectly. This is why the sorting of bookmarks never worked.
The offending functions have been removed here and replaced with
"s:Bookmark.CompareBookmarksByName". To understand the necessity for
this change, read ":h sort()" for the requirements of the function
reference argument (esp., note that it must return -1, 0, or 1).
In addition to fixing this problem, the new comparison function will
inspect the "g:NERDTreeBookmarksSort" setting to determine whether
case-sensitivity is preferred in the sort. The documentation has been
modified to accurately reflect this adjustment. The change is also made
in such a way as not to break any existing configurations.
Fixes#361 ("My bookmarks aren't sorted").
The trailing fold markers in "bookmark.vim" varied in how far they were
from the end of the line. This created an unpleasant visual effect when
folding was in use.
So :bprev was failing to jump back to the right buffer. I dont fully
understand this yet, but I'm fairly sure this is because there is a
magic <directory> buffer that we delete when creating a wintree :-/
Anyway, we are explicitly storing the prev buffer again - and updating
it when reusing treewins. It's worky, but there may be a superior way...
(inspired by overwriting g:NERDTreeDirArrowCollapsible/Expandable)
Replace instances of the RO string with a variable that the user can
override. Useful for custom unicode glyphs, i.e. Font Awesome.
* Initialize variable g:NERDTreeGlyphReadOnly = "RO".
-> plugin/NERD_tree.vim
* Replace instances of 'RO' with g:NERDTreeGlyphReadOnly
This commit adds a `NERDTreeCreatePrefix` setting that can be used to
prefix the `:edit` command that is used to create the NERDTree tree
window. Defaults to "silent", meaning that out of the box the window
will be created with "silent edit".
Users may wish to configure this to produce other effects. For example,
`NERDTreeCreatePrefix` can be set to "silent keepalt keepjumps" in order
to make NERDTree create its window with "silent keepalt keepjumps edit".
This can be used to create an effect analogous to the `g:netrw_altfile`
setting in netrw. An example of why you might want to do this is
described here:

I'm not using vim-vinegar myself, but I am using something like it here:
https://github.com/wincent/wincent/blob/3efaa8fa50895/roles/dotfiles/files/.vim/plugin/mappings.vim#L60
And having `NERDTreeCreatePrefix` enables me to map "-" to show the
current file in context, and `^-6` to jump back to it.
Previously maps like T would not restore the cursor position. Not sure
why the code was like this in the first place... hopefully I haven't
just broken a bunch of shit.
Closes#146.
Use +/~ for windows - which seems to not have the arrow chars in its
default font. TBH I don't really understand this.
Inprove the UI indent matching so that it should handle any combo of
open/close symbol lengths e.g. the fancy arrows are 3 bytes each,
whereas +/~ are 1 byte each.
Use the innermost dirs flags only. Previously each dirs flags were
rendered inline i.e.
[x]dir1/[y]dir2/[z]dir3/
This looked bad and broke the UI. Now we only render the flags for dir3
- and render them on the left side of the cascade.
Not sure if this is ultimately the right decision - but will do for now.
Render cascading dirs on one line i.e.
> foo/bar/baz
file1
instead of
> foo
> bar
> baz
> file1
This should be useful things like java projects that have deep dir
structures.
Remove the old UI view (pre the dir arrows) as this simply isnt worth
supporting for a proof of concept. This may get added back - or not.
