I recently realized I have been using a very simple replacement for the
Command-T/Fuzzy Finder type plugins for quite some time,
however I had never made it convenient for myself to do so. Today I
pushed a small change to my .vimrc that I think will make things a
little easier for me.
nnoremap <leader>ff :e **/*<left> nnoremap <leader>fp :<c-p><left>
The first map allows me to quickly search for a file (by partial name)
anywhere under the current directory using <leader>ff. If there are
multiple files found that match the glob, vim will throw E77. If that
happens I can use <leader>fp to load the previous fuzzy-find on the
command line with my cursor where it needs to be for me to make the
search more specific.
Obviously this solution is nowhere near as complete as a plugin dedicated to this task, however it’s as complete as I need it to be.
