I have changed while working in this context. Additionally it also influences the auto suggest options.
In all honesty, I would find that irritating at best.
I dont understand what would you find irritating? The fact that it only shows you files that you opened in this context?Or do you find file explorers useless in general?
Well about the first thing, its always possible to turn off context view n all, its not necessary. if you find file explorers irritating in general, well then thats a personal choice.
If I want to open a
file in my editor of choice, for example, all I do is press Ctrl-Alt-O and type a few characters of the file I'm searching for.
This is possible in eclipse too.. using Ctrl+Shift+r. and then the file that you open gets added to your context. and even in the suggest box of this shortcut the selected files show up higher next time when you use it.
Almost instantaneously I'm shown a list of files within the
current directory
only in current directory? well thats a bit limiting.
that match the pattern and I just pick one (it's usually at the top) to edit. I find this to be much faster than browsing a file tree.
How about multiplexing the terminal? Use screen for that. Each 'screen' acts as a context.
This looks interesting, will try it out, thanks :-)
