Hmmmm.... sounds like you are looking for the highly rated Project.vim plugin:
http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=69 This is probably the best place to start. If it is missing some important features, then let Aric Blumer know. If he isn't responsive, then I suggest adding the features yourself and submit the code to Aric. If he still doesn't respond, then post them yourself! -----Original Message----- From: Peter Michaux [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2007 7:23 PM To: vim-dev@vim.org Subject: VIM doesn't need new features?!?! Hi, I like VIM. I want to use VIM as my everyday editor. I even spent a frustrating week trying to determine if VIM could replace Textmate as my main editor. VIM is very good for working with a single file but the concept of a project is not really there. I looked at plugins, talked with people in #vim about plugins and how to extend VIM. I figured it would probably take a year of spare time for me to learn how and then write the plugin to do what Textmate can do with respect to projects right when it is installed: a project drawer, project tabs, multiple open projects, project-wide search and selective replace. And now I see that VIM doesn't need more features... http://www.vim.org/soc/ideas.php Darn. Peter
