List of VI and VIM files

Question

I accidentally discovered feature VI during a long session, a function that I want to use, but I cannot find it in my story.

If I have a list of files ending with .property, how can I open the list of these files in vi so that they appear as a list that I can scroll down and select the correct file for editing?

I looked around in my story, but I have a million tabs open and I can’t find out how I did it!

Thanks.

Answer 1

:e <directory containing .property files> Enter

All files in the directory will be listed here. Now you can go to the desired file and start editing.

, .property, :E Enter

Answer 3

:vnew|r!find . -name *.property

The above command opens a new buffer in a new vertical window and fills it with exit find. Use gfto go to the file under the cursor.

:args **/*.property
:ls

The command above recursively populates the argument list with each file ending .property. Use :lsto select a buffer for editing.
