Features

Mappings

• gof: Go to the directory of the current file in the File manager
  • goF: Go to the working directory (:pwd)
• got: Go to the directory of the current file in the Terminal
  • goT: Go to the working directory (:pwd)

Options

• g:gtfo#terminals Optional dictionary with one or more of the following keys: win, mac, unix

  The g:gtfo#terminals.<key> value is the name (or absolute path) of a terminal program followed by the necessary flags (-e, /k, etc.) for executing a command on startup.

  Special case (OS X): To use iTerm instead of Terminal.app, use the special value "iterm":

  let g:gtfo#terminals = { 'mac': 'iterm' }

FAQ

got (or gof) doesn't work

Try :verbose map gof to see if some other plugin is using that mapping.

On Linux without a gui, gof does nothing, or launches w3m

xdg-open defaults to w3m if no GUI is available (eg, in ssh or tty console). To change the default: xdg-mime default application/x-directory foo
