When doing ":e /var/<tab>", Vim will pause for input after the first match, eg. 
"/var/X11/". Further presses of tab will scroll through the other directories under /var. In order to go 
through the files under /var/X11, however, one could have, at the point of ":e /var/X11/":

* Type '/' and then tab, resulting in ":e /var/X11//<first file>".

or

* Type <ctrl-d><tab>.

The latter results in a tidier command line because it doesn't show a double 
forward-slash, but a messier main window, because all /var/X11's files are 
listed.

I know having a double forward-slash is a minor thing, but it makes me feel 
that there's another keypress I don't know about, that tells Vim to start 
looking in this directory -- is there?
