I'm a long time Emacs user, but partially switched to MacVim 2 years ago, and have been using it for all my programming work (still using Emacs for other stuff). I decided to switch back to Emacs now, mainly because of the awesome evil-mode
. I'm quite happy, but I still haven't found something as good and simple as the Vim Command-T plugin.
The main problem with the Emacs alternatives is that they are either too complicated and or slow.
The closest thing to Command-T is helm
/helm-cmd-t
, but it doesn't quite work like it.
Let's say you have two paths:
app/controllers/admin/feedback_controller.rb
app/controllers/fee_controller.rb
In Vim's Command-T, you can write:
app/controllers/fe
And it will match both paths.
With helm-cmd-t
, if I write app/controllers/fee
, it will only match fee_controller
. If I want to match both, I have to use a regexp, as in app/controllers/.*
, which is not that bad, but requires more keystrokes.
Any suggestions appreciated!
Any Emacs package that uses ido can do this, provided that ido-flex-match
is non-nil. Helm-cmd-t deliberately doesn't support this kind of flexible matching.
You can get the behaviour you describe using find-file-in-repository with ido-flex-match
set to 't
.
I've recently started using flx
with ido-mode
and projectile
it has exceptionally good, ranked fuzzy matching and has a very similar feel to CtrlP and CmdT for Vim.
It can be installed via MELPA.
M-x package-install
flx
