    File tree

    VCS integration is supported, there will be a column status, this feature maybe make vimfiler slow, soit is not enabled by default. to enable this feature, add enable_vimfiler_gitstatus = true to your custom config.here is any picture for this feature:

    File tree navigation

    Navigation is centered on the hjkl keys with the hope of providing a fast navigation experience like in :

    Key Binding Description
    <F3> or SPC f t Toggle file explorer
    Within file tree buffers
    <Left> or h go to parent node and collapse expanded directory
    <Down> or j select next file or directory

    <Right> or l open selected file or expand directory
    Ctrl+j Un-map
    Ctrl+l Un-map
    E Un-map

    yY Copy file to system clipboard
    P Paste file to the position under the cursor
    . toggle visible ignored files
    sv Split edit

    gx Execute with vimfiler associated
    ' Toggle mark current line
    V Clear all marks
    Ctrl+r Redraw

    If there is only one file buffer opened, a file is opened in the active window, otherwise we need to use vim-choosewin to select a window to open the file.
