Hi, I've searched the archive and asked many search engines for help, but I still haven't found what I'm looking for (well, I'll stop the humming, singing instantly ;)
Currently I switch between jEdit and vim on a hourly basis, depending on the machine I'm working. I really love vim and would like to use it exclusively, but until now there's one major thing missing for me, that I couldn't find. "Find filenames as you type, and open them instantly" .... or explained in more detail ... In jEdit there's a plugin called Openit (http://plugins.jedit.org/plugins/?OpenIt) which let's me configure a number of directories. It then indexes the filenames contained in these directories. Then it gives me the opportunity to search through all the indexed filenames very, very quickly, and opening a found file. Combined with fast typing, knowing the names of your files, and a shortcut for opening the searching window, this is awesome. I've uploaded a screenshot to better convey what I mean. It's at http://nur-eine-i.de/openit_screenshot.png Now my question: Is there something similar for vim? Or do you guys have any hacks, shell scripts for achieving this? Pressing a key combination, typing in some letters, hitting enter and you opened another file? This would really make my day (and some more weeks), if there was anything like that for vim. Thanks for reading and for your help Cheers Benjamin
