GotoFileArg.vim v0.9b Mostly for those who load up VIM with a lot of files at once in the arg list. When jumping around in files, this allows you to jump right to a file, by a substring/regex of the filename.  It repositions VIM in the arg list so subsequent :n :N commands work from the actual location of the file. At present it also maps esc-f as the keystroke to type the filename in. (esc-f is alt-f / meta1-f on my system, and many others). Features:   * Filename match is done using "=~" so a substring / regex are fine   * Last pattern is remembered   * If the current filename matches, the search, as one would expect, begins at the next file, and wraps.
