I love ido's find-file, but I think that's because I've made it behave much differently than the defaults. The ability to use backspace to go up one full directory, jump to home with ~/ at any point, jump to / with // at any point, and navigate folders quickly with fuzzy matching and RET is really, really nice.
To be fair, most of my file opening is done with projectile, which, when you exclude the right files and use ido, works fantastically well. I can get to nearly anything I've been working on in two commands - projectile-switch-to-project (C-c p p) and projectile-find-file (C-c p f).
I'm not sure what you mean by "how it splits up directory from filename" - could you clarify?
ido-use-virtual-buffers is indeed awesome - I really love it.
- gleb 11y agoDo find-file. Now I see current directory as the default suggestion. Can C-a, C-b, Backspace, etc. within it. Do ido-find-file. Now I see current directory as part of the prompt. Cannot C-a, C-b, Backspace, etc. within it.
- benaiah 11y agoAh, I see. This is actually one of my favorite features of ido-find-file. I love the fact that I can treat the current path section I'm writing as independent of the path I've already navigated to. To each their own.
- adamrt 11y agoI can't reply to gleb's comment below, so I will respond here. After ido-find-file you can do C-f and edit the line like find-file does.
- blaenk 11y agoFWIW, you can do that stuff with helm as well. Except it's C-l to go up a directory by default, IIRC.
