ag
)Use your favorite Vim package manager to install vim-fastunite
with its dependencies. With vim-plug:
" ~/.vimrc
Plug 'Shougo/vimproc.vim', { 'do': 'make' }

Plug 'Shougo/neomru.vim'

If you're not using vim-plug and it's the first time to install vimproc
, be sure to run make
.
Install the_silver_searcher for faster searches. (optional, but recommended)

So you've probably tried Unite before. You added a few lines to your vimrc to get Unite running. If you're like me, you probably used it a few times and forgot about it because it was slow.
This plugin is a bag of many tweaks to make the Unite experience more seamless. Here are a few:
Unite resuming: invoking unite after the first time will resume the previous unite session, making it fast.
Faster file search: If ag
is available, it's used for file_rec
.
Mercurial support: by using ag
, .hgignore and .bzrignore are supported.
Use better sorting: If +ruby
is available in your Vim build, a better sorting method (selecta) will be selected for you. This gets you better top results, saving you keystrokes.
Kep mappings: all the useful key mappings are set up for you, set up conveniently with a configurable <Leader> u
prefix.
Sleeker airline: provides a more pleasant integration with airline.vim by omitting extraneous statusbar information.
Faster grepping: ag
will be used for grepping if it's available.
Better unite-tag integration: if unite-tag
is installed, it will be used as the tag browser when pressing ^]
.
Preconfigured matchers: fuzzy matching and smart sorting is enabled by default.
And many more.
Refreshing files: the window is cached, so new files won't show up. Press ctrl-l
in Unite.
Fixing Unite glitches: press ctrl-r
to restart Unite.
Navigating: after opening ,up
, you can navigate directories with
ctrl-e
. press ctrl-g
to leave a directory. eg: app
ctrl-e
ass
ctrl-e
styl
ctrl-e
will navigate to app/assets/stylesheets, letting you
create a file in that directory.
