Something is in the works [1]. I'm only somewhat involved in this at the moment, but hopefully I'll get some time during the summer to work on MacVim at which time I'll start thinking about file browsers properly. (No, it won't be hosted in a drawer window when it is done -- I am working on putting it in a view inside the main window.) To those of you who don't get the point of this feature (like I used to): this is apparently considered one of the major missing features for people who are coming from other editors (mostly TextMate as far as I can tell). Judging by Twitter and blog activity this group is quite substantial (or maybe just vocal ;-) so I feel it is worthwhile to cater to their wishes. Hopefully this will generate even more interest in Vim. Björn [1] https://github.com/alloy/macvim/commits/file-drawer -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post!
