Suggestion: support opening files from multiple paths

  1. anonymous

    Certain repo structure is not single rooted. For example, src is in src/.../project1 and test in tests/.../project1.

    It will be great if command-t can search in multiple paths. In the above example, it is possible to sart command-t in the root folder that contains both src/ and tests/. However, it works less well for larger repo with lots of unrelated projects. It not only slows things down, but also adds tons of noises and as a result, you will need to type much longer path to find the file you need.

    Cheers.

    A couple of workarounds that you could use for now:

    • create a folder containing symlinks to the different directories that you want to index; :cd into that folder before using Command-T
    • use the g:CommandTMaxCachedDirectories (see the docs) to get Command-T to cache multiple directories; then use mappings to either :cd among the directories or perhaps invoke :CommandT with explicit path arguments

    Great suggestion Wincent, I find symbolic link approach's working pretty fine.
