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:

Unite.vim was meant to be like Helm for Vim. But the implementation is ugly and it's very slow.

Denite resolves Unite's problems. Here are some of its benefits:

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: 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
