It would be awesome if you could add in some kind of package manager like sublime text has.
Wouldn't Vundle work just as well on this? Vundle is pretty decent for installing plugins.

Re: VimR – Refined Vim Experience for OS X
#42For those confused, this project uses a fork of macvim that the author himself turned into a framework(osx library) to be used in third party programs. [1] (Kinda how some linux projects used xembed to embed gvim into their apps, eclim also used to have a mode to embed gvim into eclipse) Think of it as a proof of concept implementation for a vim editor based on the macvim framework version. At worst, you don't really…
Thank you. I was really wondering what is so special about a GUI vim. I thought that exited for a while.

#43I wish these features were in macvim that would be even cooler.

#44Hey, there are some great things in here. I've used it for a bit this morning, and have a couple of comments: 1. I could not figure out how to change the font. I'd love a smaller font. 2. The "show" and "hide" side bar shortcuts should be merged into a single "toggle" shortcut 3. Generally, shortcuts should be more vim-y. If I wanted to do cmd + } I would be using emacs :) 4. could not find a keyboard shortcut to cha…
Thanks for the feedback! ⌘1 is what you want to focus the sidebar, and will take you back to your buffer. We're working on some improvements to the View menu.

#45Does anybody know how to really close a tab in vim? When I type t on a file to open it in a tab and then type :q, it looks like ist closed. But when I type :ls I see that its still open.
When you write `:ls` you see all the buffers, not tabs. To remove the buffer you can use `:bd :bdel :bdelete` (see `:help :bdel`) which unloads a buffer and deletes it from the bugger list.

Sure. But I want to close the buffer AND the tab. :bd only closes the tab if there are multiple tabs open. It does not close the tab when its the last tab before the file explorer:
1) in the shell run "vim ."
2) hit "t" on a file
3) type ":bd"
You still have 2 tabs open. One with the file explorer and one with an empty file. Probably because the file explorer has type "nofile" or something, so vim things the buffer you just closed was the last one. Im not sure why its not closing the tab. It might be a bug.
Is there a way to tell vim "When I type :bd close the frickin tab, even if its the last one!"?

#47Doesn't work for me on either macbook or imac, running mavericks.
Same here. Trying to create a new file or open an existing one results in a crash.

That works! Thanks! Looking forward to the next round of improvements.

#49This is great! I like the fact that there is a gui with menu bar commands, ability to navigate folders , etc. to fall back on. Is there any way to open it via the terminal like sublime or atom? It would be great if it could launch from a directory with all of the contents showing in the sidebar
