[–] johncoltrane 13y ago ↗ Hmm, no wonder you prefer CtrlP to your previous workflow, find and grep are two horrible and verbose tools for opening files from Vim!The canonical way to open a file for editing is: :e file Of course you can use tab-completion: :e fi<Tab> And the "star" wildcard: :e f*/fil<Tab> And the awesome "starstar" wildcard: :e **/f*/fil<Tab It's even better if you activate the "wildmenu" and play with the "wildmode" option: filea fileb filec filed ------------------------------------ [filea] fileb filec filed ------------------------------------ :e filea CtrlP is a great plugin that I use extensively all day long but… there are other ways, beyond find and grep.
