===========
**Note**: Active development on denite.nvim has stopped. The only future
changes will be bug fixes.
Please see [ddu.vim](https://github.com/Shougo/ddu.vim).
Note: Denite.nvim does not define any of default mappings. You need to define
them.
Please read [help](doc/denite.txt) for details.
## About
[](https://gitter.im/Shougo/denite.nvim?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)
Denite is a dark powered plugin for Neovim/Vim to unite all interfaces.
It can replace many features or plugins with its interface.
It is like a fuzzy finder, but is more generic.
You can extend the interface and create the sources.
Some things you can do with it include:
* Opening files
* Switching buffers
* Inserting the value of a register
* Changing current directory
* Searching for a string
[Unite.vim](https://github.com/Shougo/unite.vim) was meant to be like [Helm](https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm) for Vim.
But the implementation is ugly and it's very slow.
Denite resolves Unite's problems. Here are some of its benefits:
* Theoretically faster because the main process is executed by Python
* Theoretically more stable because no other processes can be performed when
it runs.
* The implementation is simpler than unite
* Has greater potential to implement new features
* Python3 is easier to work with than Vimscript
* There are a lot of useful tools to keep code simple (linter, tester, etc...)
in Python3.
* Unite is officially obsolete, minor bugs (or even major bugs) are
not fixed anymore
## Requirements
Denite requires Neovim 0.4.0+ or Vim 8.0+ with `if_python3`.
If `:echo has("python3")` returns `1`, then you're done.
Note: Please install/upgrade msgpack package (1.0.0+).
https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-python
Note: You need to install Python 3.6.1+.
For neovim:
You must install "pynvim" module with pip
pip3 install --user pynvim
If you want to read the pynvim/python3 interface install documentation,
you should read `:help provider-python`.
For Vim8:
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
You must install "pynvim" module with pip
pip3 install --user pynvim
### For Windows users
1. Install Vim from [Vim Win32 Installer
releases](https://github.com/vim/vim-win32-installer/releases)
2. Download [Python latest embeddable zip
file](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/) and copy the all files in
the zip file to the folder where you installed Vim.
**Note:** You need to do 1. and 2. with the common-arch files (x86 or x64).
## Installation
For [dein.vim](https://github.com/Shougo/dein.vim)
```
call dein#add('Shougo/denite.nvim')
if !has('nvim')
call dein#add('roxma/nvim-yarp')
call dein#add('roxma/vim-hug-neovim-rpc')
endif
```
For [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug)
```
if has('nvim')
Plug 'Shougo/denite.nvim', { 'do': ':UpdateRemotePlugins' }
else
Plug 'Shougo/denite.nvim'
Plug 'roxma/nvim-yarp'
Plug 'roxma/vim-hug-neovim-rpc'
endif
```
## Examples
```vim
" Define mappings
autocmd FileType denite call s:denite_my_settings()
function! s:denite_my_settings() abort
nnoremap
\ denite#do_map('do_action')
nnoremap d
\ denite#do_map('do_action', 'delete')
nnoremap p
