Redismru.vim

Most recently used files plugin for vim8 & Neovim using Redis and job-control feature.

Redismru also perform MRU list load on CursorHold, this makes work with multiply vim instances easier.

Why Redismru?

• No performance influence on startup, very fast async load.
• Sync file list across all vim instance.
• Ignore pattern support.
• Support limit results to specific directory and record remove.
• Automatic file existing validation on vim leave (default).

Usage

You can also limit the files shown by Redismru by pass a directory as first unite argument, like:

Unite redismru

Or use denite.nvim

" Search all recently files
Denite redis_mru
" Search recently files of current CWD
Denite redis_mru:.

Note, async file load at startup and would cost 10~100ms, you can't get the list before it finish.

🔍Install

• install redis and nodejs with command like:

    brew install redis
    brew install node
  

node script is used for async file validate (started on vim leave)

• install this plugin and denite.nvim/unite.vim with plugin manager like vim-plug by:

    Plug 'Shougo/unite.vim'
      Plug 'neoclide/redismru.vim', {do: 'npm install'}
  

• CD to the project root and run:

    npm install
  

🚧Configuration

• g:redismru_disable_auto_validate set to 1 if you want to disable validation on vim leave.
• g:redismru_disable_sync set to 1 if you want to disable automatic sync on CursorHold event.
• g:redismru_ignore_pattern vim regex for ignored files, default see :h g:redismru_ignore_pattern.
• g:redismru_host for redis host to connent (default 127.0.0.1).
• g:redismru_port for redis port to connent (default 6379).
• g:redismru_key for redis key to use for MRU list (default 'vimmru').
• g:redismru_limit for limit the count for MRU list load and validation (should no more than 2000).

🍚Usage

If you use denite.nvim, you can add keymap like:

  nnoremap <silent> <space>r  :<C-u>Denite redis_mru<cr>
  nnoremap <silent> \r        :<C-u>Denite redis_mru:.<cr>

• Open unite source with redismru source like:

    Unite redismru
  

• Open unite redismru source with files limit in current cwd:

    Unite redismru:.
  

• Validate all mru files manully:

    :MruValidate
  

validation would start async when vim exit, so you normally don't need this
