devpanel - Development Panel Window plugin for VIM

This plugin acts as a window manager for integrating the NERDTree and Tagbar plugins together into a more streamlined interface. Using the recommended configurations as listed in the devpanel-integrations section, the following look can be achieved. The basic layout using these recommended configurations will appear as the following:

Installation

Vim Packages

git clone https://github.com/raven42/devpanel-vim ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/devpanel-vim

Requirements

This plugin integrates with the following plugins. These must be installed in order to fully use them.

NERDTree

NERDTree is used as a file browser on the upper left panel.

Tagbar

Tagbar is used as a tag browser in the lower left panel.

Lightline

There is a small integration point with lightline to forceably trigger an update upon window creation / movement.

Flake8

Flake8 is used as a python syntax checker panel.

Minimap

Minimap is a plugin to render a preview of the file in a split window. This plugin also requires installation of the code-minimap program.

⚠️ If you do not wish to use any of these plugins, set one or more of these options

let g:devpanel_use_nerdtree = 0
let g:devpanel_use_tagbar = 0
let g:devpanel_use_lightline = 0
let g:devpanel_use_flake8 = 0
let g:devpanel_use_minimap = 0

Usage

By default, devpanel is set to auto-open on specific file types. This can be controlled with the following setting:

let g:devpanel_auto_open_files = '*.c,*.cpp,*.h,*.py'

Other configurations options are available to specify min / max panel size, and to optionally specify your own window size and position using the corresponding plugin configurations for NERDTree and Tagbar.
