The most convenient way to navigate currently opened buffers. Default hot key is F3. Initially, QuickName display the full list of opened buffers in a compact way (multi-column) inside command area. As you type, QuickName narrows the list to only buffers with matched name. Hit <Enter> to open selected buffer. Hit <Esc> or hot key (default F3) again to close QuickName. When QuickName is active, arrow keys and backspace function as expected. Matching rule: thefile.vim can be matched with any of thefil, thefi.vim, thfl.vm. Guess why! Should QuickName integrate with QuickBuf, and how? Any ideas and bug reports, please send to palnart@gmail.com.

install details

Put qname.vim in plugin directory, or source it via Vim startup script. To set QuickName hot key to <key>, put this line in your Vim startup script:     let g:qname_hotkey = "<key>" By default, hot key is <F3>, as if in your startup script has the line:     let g:qname_hotkey = "<F3>"
