vim-projectionist VS autojump

Tim Pope's projectionist for navigating to files of a particular category or to related files from the current one: https://github.com/tpope/vim-projectionist.

> For myself, I'm fine with the typing being in a separate .rbs file

We type[0] by having one separate .rbs file per .rb file. Works really well with an editor's vertical splits: type outline on one side, code on the other. That, or use something like vim-projectionist[1].

One of the originals I guess must be tim pope's https://github.com/tpope/vim-projectionist

use https://github.com/tpope/vim-projectionist - define the relationships between files (example: app/*js are 'source' files and test/*js are 'test' files). Projectionist sets up `:A` to jump to the 'alternate' file (jump between a 'source' file and its 'test' for instance), and `:Esource` and `:Etest` commands to find/navigate by the kind of file. This is very powerful IMO - for projects with good structure I can quickly jump between related test/source/model/blah files very quickly using these commands. For projects without good structure I rethink or get the team to talk about how we might improve the project organization (ie, lack of structure is a code smell!)

I love Tpope’s https://github.com/tpope/vim-projectionist but this one seems like a great replacement 😎

Tim Pope's excellent Projectionist plug-in has an alternate file feature, which makes it very easy to switch between test and implementation files.

The plugin is inspired by vim-projectionist and https://github.com/vim-scripts/a.vim

This feels like a bug, since the plugin doesn't behave as expected when following the installation section verbatim. I filed a bug here: https://github.com/tpope/vim-projectionist/issues/168

You need https://github.com/tpope/vim-projectionist. Gotta have a file structure for unit tests though.

I also use zsh for years and did not know that. What I like this: Actually having completions shown in the screen and being able to navigate them with tabs. I think that is not a default behavior, but that is what oh-my-zsh does for you in its default setup. Does someone have more insight on that?

I did not know about this, but I use https://github.com/wting/autojump, so I am not super sad that I missed something that hold me back severely. But good to know.

Yes, I made a similar keybinding for xonsh, using fd and fzf. I press Alt-c, and fzf shows me all the subdirectories rooted where I'm at.

That's a good intermediary solution. But the one that totally changed my flow was to combine autojump[1] and fzf. autojump is similar to Z (this submission). It stores all the directories you've visited in an SQLite DB and can show them to you (ordered by visit frequency) with a command line argument. So I pipe that to fzf.

Now I can extremely quickly jump to any directory I've been to before - it really helps that they're sorted by visit frequency. I honestly use this more than any other approach - and I probably go for days on end without using the usual TAB autocompletion.

Not quite the same but you should check out autojump if you haven’t before: https://github.com/wting/autojump

I switched to linux recently and iam loving it the speed and CLI tools that linux provides are amazing you can do anything imaginable in the terminal i use Spotify in the terminal navigate very very fast using auto-jump and its just easier than navigating all those uis and using the keyboard for everything is way faster and easier on your hand than the mouse and keyboard combination especially if you use a window manager

If you're interested in these types of things take a look at https://github.com/agkozak/zsh-z or https://github.com/wting/autojump

Have you tried autojump?

Dont forget to try Autojump (https://github.com/wting/autojump). Makes CDing to folders such a breeze

I would think so but here is a link for anyone that can't find it: https://github.com/wting/autojump
