Please forgive me if I use the incorrect terms ... I've been using vim for years, but am just now getting into more than just the editing part.
I am writing a vim plugin using perl's Net::Blogger so I can make my blogs entries from vim. What I'd like to do, if possible, is create a window that lists the blogs and entries in a window like the one created when you try to edit a directory. You can move the cursor up and down but you can't modify the contents of the buffer. When you press enter on an entry it either displays the directory or edits the file. So, something like this initially: Blog1 Blog2 When you press enter on Blog1 you'll get: Blog1 Article1 Article2 Blog2 When you press enter on Article1 you'll get a buffer with the contents of Article1 to modify and repost. I've gotten the perl/vim interaction down I think, and I program in perl professionally--this isn't my problem. I have no idea as to how to go about doing the above. Any pointers? With VIm7 I think I can use the Lists and/or Dictionaries data types (they seem to be the same as perls array/list and hash types) but I'm just clueless on how to get the data into the buffer I described, or even how to create that buffer.
