Set wildmenu Is all you need to add to your .vimrc. Read :help wildmenu.

Set your wildmode setting to something different, for example set wildmode=list:longest If I misunderstood the question completely, yell ... :).

(This is not a direct answer to your question, but I think it's even better :) You should check out the Command-T plugin, inspired by TextMate's 'Go To File'. It filters out possible combinations very intelligently, just type a few characters of each subdirectory enough to distinguish it and it 'gets' it, the characters don't have to be at the beginning and can don't have to be sequential. It also shows you a list of options left.

I realize this is a terrible explanation so check out this video to see how it works. The downside is it requires Vim to be compiled with Ruby support.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
