# vimfiler
A powerful file explorer implemented in Vim script**Note**: Active development on vimfiler.vim has stopped. The only future
changes will be bug fixes.Please see [ddu.vim](https://github.com/Shougo/ddu.vim) and
[ddu-ui-filer](https://github.com/Shougo/ddu-ui-filer).## Introduction
vimfiler is a powerful file explorer ("filer") written in Vim script.## Usage
To start vimfiler, run this command::VimFiler
If you set `g:vimfiler_as_default_explorer` to 1, vimfiler will be used as the default
explorer (instead of netrw.):let g:vimfiler_as_default_explorer = 1
**vimfiler depends on [unite.vim](https://github.com/Shougo/unite.vim).**
Please install unite.vim 3.0 or later before you install vimfiler.
