Function "Go to file" in different editors

Question

TextMate has a Go To File feature that is used to navigate files. This is the field in which you enter the file name in your project, and it will use a fuzzy match to generate a list of candidate files from which you can choose.

Other editors have this feature, but each one gives a different name:

Vim fuzzyfinder
Emacs fuzzy-find-in-project
TextMate Go to file (fuzzy)
Eclipse OpenResource (fuzzy)
Eclipse GotoFile ( Fuzzy )
Komodo Go to the file (not fuzzy)
Netbeans Go to file (not fuzzy)

Does this function have jEdit, Geany or Ultraedit?

Answer 1

I met Fuzzy Open for gedit and it works for me.

Try: https://github.com/eggegg/fuzzyopen

Answer 2

Gedit has this feature with the snapopen plugin. You will find it at http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins

Or you can use the Gmate-Plugins for gedit: https://github.com/gmate/gmate This basically goes on steroids.

Answer 3

I just thought that I would comment that in Eclipse you can get an “almost fuzzy” search with the wildcard character * .

For example, * f * i * l * e will find all resources that contain the characters f, i, l, e in that order, anywhere in the resource name.

This works with Ctrl + Shift + R (search for resources), as well as for Ctrl + E (search on open tabs) and others too, I suspect.

Answer 4

I did not find anything similar to Geany and wrote a small prototype that it works, but has some errors. github.com/hodzanassredin/geany-fuzzy-goto-file-plugin
