Questions tagged [fuzzyfinder]

FuzzyFinder is a plugin for VIM allowing quick file, buffer and command navigation.

FuzzyFinder is a plugin for Vim which lets you access files (recently used and otherwise), commands, help documents and lots of other goodies, using as few keystrokes as possible.

It does this using "fuzzy matching": If you have a file called "ImportantDoc", you can just type "Doc" and it would pop up, even though "Doc" is at the end of the filename rather than in the beginning. It has lots of other features, all fully described on the plugin page.
