I find the :oldfiles or :browse oldfiles command to be quite simple and
convenient. It works as advertised on my
7.3 version of vim in windows xp. However, with my 7.0.237 version of vim
running on redhat linux, the command does not work and I get the error message
E492: Not an editor command: oldfiles
I have the runtime directories/files and the runtimepath and so on correctly
defined and present. As I recall, oldfiles was a patch for vim 7 briefly
discussed as present and then abandoned in 2008 by Bram. If so, it would be
part of the code itself and would not require some or more plugins or extra
runtime scripts. Do not know the history of how this command got eventually
implemented.
What might prevent oldfiles from working in vim, within my redhat
installation? (yes, I ran vim -u NONE but still no oldfiles).
While Im on this topic: Any recommendations for a simple file manager that
lists files for directories, recently edited files (like oldfiles), and
current files in tabs and/or buffers? I never cared much for hierarchial
directory displayed, in any OS (e.g., nerdtree, vimexplorer)
