Is there a quick way with macvim/NERDtree plugin to find a file?

Since we are all listing alternatives here Command-T is another fuzzyfinder-esque plugin that attempts to mimic textmate's find function.

NERDtree is a great plugin, but I still have to navigate (sometimes very deep) directory trees in order to get to the file I want to get to. Is there any functionality that allows me to search a substring of a file name and show me a result set I can click on from that?

I've been using Command-T for a couple months in MacVim, and swear by it! Although, I'm willing to give fuzzyfinder a shot – Bryan Ross Jul 14 '10 at 14:52 love the 7-eleven – z8000 Apr 21 '11 at 13:37.

I use fuzzyfinder. Vim for almost two years and love it a lot. It supports to find file in fuzzy way, for example to find foobar.

Rb file, you can just input 'fb' to get foobar. Rb matched, for file navigation, you can add "**/" in front of file's name to find a file in any levels deep. It provide more modes to find dir, recent open file, recent vim command, tags etc fuzzily, you can even define your own mode.

If you like TextMate's way, you can read this post for more details.

You should also check out the builtin command :find. First, you need to define what directories to search. If you wish to recursively add the subdirectories of /path/to/project to your search path, use: :set path=/path/to/project/** You can then open e.g. /path/to/project/then/some/random/subdirectory/filename.

Ext by issuing: :find filename. Ext To open your search result in a new tab or split-screen, try :tabfind or :sfind instead. Edit I just noticed that you're looking for fuzzy matching of files, in which case I don't believe :find is up to the task.

You may be interested in the :Find function defined in this vimtip though.

This was extremely helpful, didn't know it supported find! Awesome, my life is so much easier now. Have an upvote – John Baker Sep 8 '11 at 17:51.

Along the same lines as fuzzyfinder is PeepOpen. I have been using it for a few months and prefer it over fuzzyfinder now. It is strictly mac, and requires Snow Leopard.

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.
