Something like Ctrp of Vim for Emacs?

Question

I am looking for a tool or pluging that let me navigate across my files, directories and tags like Vim's Ctrlp but for Emacs, any suggestions?.

Answer 1

I'm not a Vim user, but after looking up CtrlP's functionality, it seems you are looking for ido-mode.

ido-mode comes with emacs and you can enable it by putting this in your .emacs

(require 'ido)
(ido-mode t)

There is a lot of features in ido-mode but this video is a good introduction to some basic functionality. Note the fuzzy matching is now enabled by default not in ido-mode but the video suggests you have to enable it yourself.

Answer 2

Use fipler or use projectile with helm. It's the closest you can.

One problem with fipler is that if you have your home directory as a git repo(dotfiles) it just would take forever to get files when in home directory. Otherwise just go with fipler.
