Hi,
Does anyone ever used ido.el in emacs? (www.cua.dk/ido.el)
The plugin could considerably speedup file accessing performance,
especially when I'm maintaining a large wiki docbase. So I really
want to know
- if vim have equivalent plugin like ido.el
- if not, is there any simple way to achieve the same effect in
vim? (don't want to explicitly edit directory and locate file)
Thanks
Eddy
BTW, for those who never used ido.el. Below is the description of its
functionality
snipped from ido.el
;; Substring matching (The default method)
;;
;; As you type in a substring, the list of buffers or files currently
;; matching the substring are displayed as you type. The list is
;; ordered so that the most recent buffers or files visited come at
;; the start of the list.
;; The buffer or file at the start of the list will be the one visited
;; when you press return. By typing more of the substring, the list is
;; narrowed down so that gradually the buffer or file you want will be
;; at the top of the list.
;;
;; If I have two buffers called "123456" and "123", with "123456" the
;; most recent, when I use ido-switch-buffer, I first of all get
;; presented with the list of all the buffers
;;
;; Buffer: {123456,123}
;;
;; If I then press 2:
;; Buffer: 2[3]{123456,123}
;;
;; The list in {} are the matching buffers, most recent first (buffers
;; visible in the current frame are put at the end of the list by
;; default). At any time I can select the item at the head of the
;; list by pressing RET. I can also bring the put the first element
;; at the end of the list by pressing C-s or [right], or put the last
;; element at the head of the list by pressing C-r or [left].
;; The item in [] indicates what can be added to my input by pressing TAB.
;; In this case, I will get "3" added to my input. So, press TAB:
;; Buffer: 23{123456,123}
;;
;; At this point, I still have two matching buffers.
;; If I want the first buffer in the list, I simply press RET. If I
;; wanted the second in the list, I could press C-s to move it to the
;; top of the list and then RET to select it.
;;
;; However, If I type 4, I only have one match left:
;; Buffer: 234[123456] [Matched]
;;
;; Since there is only one matching buffer left, it is given in [] and we
;; see the text [Matched] afterwards. I can now press TAB or RET to go
;; to that buffer.
