2. Usage zip-usage zip-manualLINK

When one edits a *.zip file, this plugin will handle displaying a

contents page. Select a file to edit by moving the cursor atop

the desired file, then hit the <return> key. After editing, one may

also write to the file. Currently, one may not make a new file in

zip archives via the plugin.

OPTIONS

g:zip_nomaxLINK

If this variable exists and is true, the file window will not be

automatically maximized when opened.

g:zip_shqLINK

Different operating systems may use one or more shells to execute

commands. Zip will try to guess the correct quoting mechanism to

allow spaces and whatnot in filenames; however, if it is incorrectly

guessing the quote to use for your setup, you may use

g:zip_shq

which by default is a single quote under Unix (') and a double quote

under Windows ("). If you'd rather have no quotes, simply set

g:zip_shq to the empty string (let g:zip_shq= "") in your <.vimrc>.

g:zip_unzipcmdLINK

Use this option to specify the program which does the duty of "unzip".

It's used during browsing. By default:

let g:zip_unzipcmd= "unzip"

g:zip_zipcmdLINK

Use this option to specify the program which does the duty of "zip".

It's used during the writing (updating) of a file already in a zip

file; by default:

let g:zip_zipcmd= "zip"

PREVENTING LOADING

If for some reason you do not wish to use vim to examine zipped files,

you may put the following two variables into your <.vimrc> to prevent

the zip plugin from loading:

let g:loaded_zipPlugin= 1

let g:loaded_zip = 1

==============================================================================

3. Additional Extensions zip-extensionLINK

Apparently there are a number of archivers which generate zip files that

don't use the .zip extension (.jar, .xpi, etc). To handle such files,

place a line in your <.vimrc> file:

au BufReadCmd *.jar,*.xpi call zip#Browse(expand("<amatch>"))

One can simply extend this line to accommodate additional extensions that

should be treated as zip files.
