This sound incredibly useful. This idea has never occurred to me, but it is
really good, and I will use it. Below you will find my take on how to achieve
this. There is probably much room for improvement.
(Important note: You mentioned you also use OS X. Well, sorry. I don't know
whether this will work. It does on Linux.)
1.
Create a bash file called "choose" (say, in your ~/bin), and enter the
following:
#!/bin/bash
for filename in $*
do
echo `readlink -f $filename` >> /tmp/vim_choose_files
done
2.
Add the folowing to your .vimrc:
function s:ShellChoose ()
call system("rm -f /tmp/vim_choose_files")
shell
let l:files=system("cat /tmp/vim_choose_files")
if !v:shell_error
let l:files=substitute(l:files, "\n", " ", "g")
exec "argadd ".files
endif
endfunction
command -nargs=0 Shell call s:ShellChoose()
3.
Use.
Usage instructions:
a. Use ":Shell" instead of ":shell".
b. Go to any directory, and choose files you would like to edit using the
"choose" bash script.
Examples:
choose a.txt
choose *.txt
You don't have to choose all files at once.
c. When you <C-d> your way back to vim, the files you've chosen will be added to
the argument list.
