Edit a file from the arg list by search pattern












0















I would like to be able to edit Foo.cs by partial name without using :prev or :first et cetera.



Foo.cs Bar.cs [Baz.c]s Qux.cs


I have tried :arge F* and Vim says: No match. I have also tried :arge *F*. How can I navigate directly to Foo using part of its name?

          If the buffer is already opened, you can just type parts of the name using :b.



          :ls
          1 #h "Foo.cs" Line 1
          2 h "Bar.cs" Line 1
          3 %h "Baz.c" Line 1
          4 a "Qux.cs" Line 1
          :b F
          :ls
          1 %a "Foo.cs" Line 1
          2 h "Bar.cs" Line 1
          3 #h "Baz.c" Line 1
          4 h + "Qux.cs" Line 1
