About
Defx is a dark powered plugin for Neovim/Vim to browse files.
It replaces the deprecated vimfiler plugin.

No double filer feature
-
Column feature
-
Source feature like denite.nvim
-

Maximum features dislike other file managers
Installation
Note: defx requires Neovim 0.3.0+ or Vim8.1+ with Python3.6.1+. See
requirements if you aren't sure whether you have this.
For vim-plug
if has('nvim')
Plug 'Shougo/defx.nvim', { 'do': ':UpdateRemotePlugins' }
else
Plug 'Shougo/defx.nvim'
Plug 'roxma/nvim-yarp'
Plug 'roxma/vim-hug-neovim-rpc'
endif
For dein.vim
call dein#add('Shougo/defx.nvim')
if !has('nvim')
call dein#add('roxma/nvim-yarp')
call dein#add('roxma/vim-hug-neovim-rpc')
endif
For manual installation(not recommended)
- Extract the files and put them in your Neovim or .vim directory
(usually$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim/).
Requirements
defx requires Python3.6.1+ and Neovim(0.3.0+) or Vim8.1+ with if_python3. If
:echo has("python3") returns 1, then you have python 3 support; otherwise,
see below.
You can enable Python3 interface with pip:
pip3 install --user pynvim
Please install nvim-yarp plugin for Vim8.
https://github.com/roxma/nvim-yarp
Please install vim-hug-neovim-rpc plugin for Vim8.
https://github.com/roxma/vim-hug-neovim-rpc
Note: Python3 must be enabled before updating remote plugins
If Defx was installed prior to Python support being added to Neovim,
:UpdateRemotePlugins should be executed manually.
