I'm not a vim guru, but I too made the switch from a similar tool to vim as yourself, and needed similar functionality. Here's what I do. I create mappings for the location of projects that I'm working on, and/or their parents. So: nmap ,pm :cd ~\My Documents\My Website\pmwiki<CR> nmap ,web :cd ~\My Documents\My Website<CR> nmap ,fm :cd D:\Apache\htdocs\forums\<CR> To search, I use: :vim /search for/ **/*.txt where :vim is the short form of :vimgrep. However, because previous commands are cached, you need only type: :vi<Up> and the last search appears and can be edited. Once the search completes, type: :cw to open the quickfix window, which shows all the matches. You move through the results with :cn and :cp (but also learn <C-o> and <C-i>). In addition, if you want a 'sidebar' window in which you can list your commonly used files, then you might try the workspace plug-in. Once setup, it saves a lot of time.
I will play with this stuff. Thanks, Peter
