Vim without NERD tree or CtrlP

I used to use NERD tree for quite a while, then switched to CtrlP for something a little more lightweight. My setup now includes zero file browser or tree view, and instead uses native Vim fuzzy search and auto-directory switching.

Fuzzy Search

There is a super sweet feature in Vim whereby you can fuzzy find your files using **/*, e.g.:

:vs **/*<partial file name><Tab>

The following allows macOS users to run two different Vivaldi's alongside each other (e.g. stable and snapshot), with their prefences/settings stored seperately. This is also handy if you want to do an initial test of a snapshot in a self contained manor, without touching your main prefences/settings.

It works by causing launch Vivaldi in such a way that it stores its prefences/settings in a directory next it (called "Vivaldi Data"), rather than using the default prefences/settings directory ("~/Library/Application Support/Vivaldi").

To setup

Open the Automator.app (part of macOS) and create a new "Service"
Change "Service receives" to: "files or folders" in "Finder"
Drag "Get Selected Finder Items" (found under "Files & Folders") into the actions area
Drag "Run Shell Script" (found under "Utilities") into the actions area below "Get Selected Finder Items" and set "Pass input" to "as arguments"

These links no longer work. Springer have pulled the free plug.

git-refork

I really wanted a way to re-sync a fork with upstream, so this is it. Just put it in your path, and make sure that you have a remote called upstream that points to the original project.

WARNING: For forks only. If you use it on a non-fork project, bad things will happen. This will re-write history, so be careful.

notify-send adapter for Mac OS X

This allows you to receive desktop notifications from grunt running inside of a local vagrant box.

How to install

Install `grunt-notify` and add to dev dependencies

This is done on the guest VM (within the vagrant box).
