I am wondering if there is any way to get the tab completion of a
command to open a new file to complete any file in the path, not just
those in the current working directory. Basically, my path variable is:
path=.,c:\...\source,c:\...\source**
and I would like to be able to enter
:sf behavior_fi<tab><enter>
For it to open the file ...\source\ai\behaviour\behavior_fight.inl,
which it won't currently do. Any bright ideas?

This was recently discussed on the list (I don't remember when). You can
place something like this in your vimrc:
command! -nargs=? -complete=custom,PathFileComplete -bang -bar Sfind sfind<bang>
<args>
function! PathFileComplete(ArgLead, CmdLine, CursorPos)
return substitute(globpath(&path, a:ArgLead."*"), "[^\n]\\+/", "", "g")
endfunction
Instead of using :sfind, use :Sfind (note the capital S). However, if
you have duplicate filenames in the path, you may want to use this
instead so you can specify a count for which duplicate found file is
opened:
command! -nargs=? -complete=custom,PathFileComplete -count=1 -bang -bar Find
<count>find<bang> <args>
So if there are 2 "behavior_fight.inl" files, :2Find behavior_fight.inl
will open the second one.
Kudos to Hari for the completion function!
HTH :)
