Note: Active development on defx.nvim has stopped. The only future changes will be bug fixes.
Please see ddu.vim and ddu-ui-filer.
Please read help for details.
Defx is a dark powered plugin for Neovim/Vim to browse files. It replaces the deprecated vimfiler plugin.

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/
).
defx requires Python3.6.1+ and Neovim(0.4.0+) or Vim8.2+ with if_python3. If
:echo has("python3")
returns 1
, then you have python 3 support; otherwise,
see below.
Note: The latest Neovim is recommended, because it is faster.
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
If Defx was installed prior to Python support being added to Neovim,
:UpdateRemotePlugins
should be executed manually.
