hi Per,
i had the same need as you, and indeed emacs users with shell mode and
dired have everything! but (because i don't like the editing-part of
emacs) i used the
vtreeexplorer plugin plus autochdir... so now i fire up vtreeexplore
and use 't' to open files in new tabs or 'o' to open them in the same
window....
Another mechanism i use to navigate file hierarchies is ctags and
lookupfile plugin....
Yet another mechanism: for the times i needed to edit files that
contained certain words, i had the following script:
echo "Searching folder $PWD:"
#find $PWD -type f \( -path '*/lib/*' \) \
files_temp=$( find $PWD -type f \( \! -path '*/.svn/*' -a \! -path
'*/Logs/*' \) \
-exec grep --color=always --ignore-case --files-with-matches "$@" {} + )
echo ""
oldPS3=$PS3
PS3='edit file: '
files="$files_temp Cancel"
select selection in $files; do
if [ "$selection" == "Cancel" ]; then
echo "user canceled"
break
elif [ $selection ]; then
gvim "$selection"
break
else
echo 'invalid selection.'
fi
done
PS3=$oldPS3
