My guess is that if you asked 100 vim users, 90-95 would be fine with
either leaving first or last file in current window and loading the
rest in buffer list.
But for this command, out of thousands, it can't be done!
Not too hard to throw together something that will end up editing all of
them:
function! Edit(really, ...)
if len(a:000)
for globspec in a:000
let l:files = split(glob(globspec), "\n")
for fname in l:files
exec 'e'.(a:really).' '.(fname)
endfor
endfor
else
exec 'e'.(a:really)
endif
endfunction
command! -nargs=* -complete=file -bang E call Edit("<bang>", <f-args>)
which should give you an ":E" command that works like ":e" except that
if you give it one or more filespecs, it loads them all and leaves you
on the last one. E.g.
:E
:E!
:E *.txt
:E! *.txt
:E *.txt *.html
:E! *.txt *.html
So, while I wouldn't use, it's a pretty simple function to make use of.
-tim
Thanks, I for one will use it. I don't see any harm if vim could do this
with :e command though. -ak
