Vim Open Resource

Question

When programming in Eclipse I love to use the Open Resource dialog (Ctrl + Shift + R), which opens a simple filter with all the files in the project. My question is: is there something similar for the Vim editor. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The Command-T plugin does something similar:

From the developer's description:

Files are selected by typing characters that appear in their paths, and are ordered by an algorithm which knows that characters that appear in certain locations (for example, immediately after a path separator) should be given more weight.

Once you find the file you want, you can open it in the current window, a new window, or a new tab.
