To grep in all files named on the vim command-line, assuming no spaces in their names: :exe 'vimgrep /pattern/g' join(argv(), ' ') see :help :vimgrep :help join() :help argv() To grep in all loaded buffers it's (IIUC) more complicated: let buflist = [] let bufnr = 0 while bufnr bufnr($) let bufnr += 1 if buflisted(bufnr) let buflist += [ bufname(bufnr) ] endif endwhile exe 'vimgrep /pattern/g' join(buflist, ' ') Replace buflisted() by bufexists() to search also unlisted buffers. How to do the same if filenames can include spaces is left as an exercise to the user (it will be different for Unix shells or Dos shells). Best regards, Tony. Regards, Ben K.

Assuming you have /var/www/html in your path, the following
pairing should help you out:
nnoremap silent gf :exec 'e ' . findfile(substitute(expand('cfile'),
'^/*','',''))cr
nnoremap silent c-wf :exec 'sp ' . findfile(substitute(expand('cfile'),
'^/*','',''))cr
The findfile() function also takes an extra parameter if you want
to refrain from munging your actual path, you could do something like
findfile(..., path.',/var/www/html')
On the same note, would it be possible to let gf open
/var/www/html/includes/some.file
when I gf on this string
http://somehost.com/includes/some.file
or by defining a new command (say wf)?
A similar transformation could tweak the previous, something like
substitute(expand(...), '^\(http://[^/]/\)\=/*','','')
would strip off leading slashes and leading protocol+host. (that
regexp/substitute() is untested, but should be approx. correct, save for
possible needs to escape the \ characters)
Alternatively, you could map it to leadergf and leaderc-wf
to maintain the original meanings, but create new mappings to
provide the additional functionality.

That's exactly where you can use my little script (which will isntall
some dependencies, too)
Just add this into your ftplgugin/filetype.vim file:
-- 8 -- 8 filetype_sourced.vim -- 8 -- 8 -- 8
noremap gf :call vl#ui#navigation#gfHandler#HandleGF()cr
call
vl#ui#navigation#gfHandler#AddGFHandler([matchstr(expand('cWORD'),'Include(\\\zs[^\].*\\ze\)')])
-- 8 -- 8 -- 8 -- 8 -- 8 -- 8 -- 8
and source the installer file
http://www.mawercer.de/marcweber/vim/vimlib/installers/vimlib_gfhandler_installer_sourceme.vim
(Don't be afraid. The installer will ask for confirmation before doing
anything.)
I would suggest saving it to another directory (eg ~/.vimlib or
~/.vim_gf) and adding this folder to your runtimepath.
set runtimepath+=~/.vimlib
Then its easy to remove it again if you don't like it.
I think you can see that [matchstr ... does the interesting thing which
is getting the file from under the cursor by calling expand('cWORD')
and remvoving the Include text. You
have to adjust it the way you like. You have to write your own code
which removes /includes and adds /var/www/html/includes/ which would
look like this:
call
vl#ui#navigation#gfHandler#AddGFHandler(['/var/www/html/includes'.matchstr(expand('cWORD'),'Include(\/includes\\zs[^\].*\\ze\)')])
You can even add different include directories:
call vl#ui#navigation#gfHandler#AddGFHandler(['/var/www/html/includes1'
call vl#ui#navigation#gfHandler#AddGFHandler(['/var/www/html/includes2'
call vl#ui#navigation#gfHandler#AddGFHandler(['/var/www/html/includes3'
Then you'll be asked which file to open if it doesn't exist.
Unfortunately the documentation
(http://www.mawercer.de/marcweber/vim/vimlib/docs/vl_ui_navigation_gfHandler_vim.html)
isn't up to date because vim segfaults while creating it and I don't
have the time to find the code causing it.
If something doesn't work drop me a mail.

Try on Include(includes/some.file); That's where I want to get advice... That notation using DocumentRoot like /includes/some.file is universal in web applications. If I can temporarily change the buffer and trick vim to think the line is now Include(includes/some.file) it's somewhat OK, but gf requires me to actually save the source file before it will accept the change from /includes... to includes. There are situations I cannot save it, e.g. if the source is on a live server, during the time this is changed, the web server will not be able to find the file and will generate errors. It's ok if there's no way as is. I'll prehaps look at recompiling. Thanks. Ben K. Developer http://benix.tamu.edu

Re: search between two brackets
I have a long source code consisting of multiple modules wrapped in {}.
Sometimes I use * to find the next match. But I'd like to search only
within the same module or class that I started from. (which is wrapped
inside sub ... {})
Thanks all. It should be sufficient.
I am not sure exactly what sort of highlighting you want.
Since my purpose was not to go astray to another module, I just wondered
if there can be some visual indication to tell me that I'm still in my {
module }. Like flipping foreground and background of the rest of the file,
or dimming the colors, etc.
But the provided answer should be sufficient.

gf question
Vimmers, I find gf very convenient, but with shell scripts, I'd like a different behavior: In shell scripts, there should be no spaces around =. progname=/usr/local/txserver Then if I do gf on /usr/local/txserver, vim thinks the whole line (including progname=) is the pathname and gives me a not-found error.

color schemes same fg and bg on vimdiff
Vimmers,
I use vimdiff in gnome-terminal and sometimes in GUI, but the default
color scheme (I found somehow it's not the same as the
colors/default.vim) sometimes use the same color for both foreground and
background. Most of the color schemes in the colors directory do the same
(same or indiscernible fg and bg colors)
I spent some time and found corresponding set the following for the c
files I have at hand, so I add these lines
in my .vimrc, but I guess I'll have to do the same for php and other
languages I use.
highlight cConstant ctermfg=white guifg=white
highlight cString ctermfg=white guifg=white
highlight cNumber ctermfg=white guifg=white
Do these have something in common? I had to try a few times to find what
they are...
P.S.)
Also, :help colorscheme says
:colo[rscheme] {name} Load color scheme {name}. This searches 'runtimepath'
for the file colors/{name}.vim. The first one that
is found is loaded.
but somehow, none of my installations do that, if the first means
alphabetically the first. Probably it'll be understandable if I look at
the code, but just wanted to note here - in case someone has a ready
answer.
