Fuzzyfinder: any way to open multiple files at once?

Question

I really like vim's fuzzyfinder plugin, but I often find myself wanting to open more than one file at a time (eg. every file that ends in ".py" within a directory). I can't see a way to do this in the docs, but is anyone aware of a way to do this?

Alternately, are there any other "fuzzy" file opening plugins with a comparable feature set that have this ability?

Looks like we have to implement it by ourselves. Did you see this issue https://bitbucket.org/ns9tks/vim-fuzzyfinder/issue/35/possibility-to-open-more-files-at-once — galymzhan, Jan 05 '11 at 10:04

You don't need a plug-in to do this.

:args *.py

See :help :args_f for more information.

Thanks, that does help, but ideally I'd like to combine it with "fuzzy" filename matching. For example, to open code/my_project/{file1,file2,file3}.py, I'd like to be able to type "cpr*.py" and have all 3 files open. If I can't find a way to do that, args does look like a nice compromise. – af__ Sep 26 '10 at 06:52

ctrlp.vim is an alternative fuzzy file finder that fully supports marking and opening those marked files.

Use CTRL-Z to mark/unmark files and CTRL-O to open marked files.

Finally switched to Ctrl-P a year later, and really loving it. – af__ Jun 02 '13 at 20:35

Fuzzy finder(fzf.vim) has it too, ctrl-t in fzf_action for example:

https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/blob/master/README-VIM.md

Dunno yet why it doesn't work for the Ag/Rg options though.
