Why another plugin?
------------------
I wanted open a file with by just typing a file name, even with a partial name of a file.
I found several plugins out there to find a file with a partial name.
1) FuzzyFinder, http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1984
2) CtrlP, http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3736
3) Command-T. http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3025
I tried all of them, and was not satisfactory.
All of the above tried to mimic other editors behavior, TextMate, and they are heavy(sometimes makes me wait to load files and expressions)
What I wanted was to see the files, and find what I want to open it. It is just simple combination of list and open, nothing else.
Futhermore, mimicing other IDE's command it not a vim's way in my opinion.
That's why I developed this plugin. It does;
1. List all files(3 directory level deep)
2. Let you find a file in a separate vim window
3. Let you open a file in current or split window
How it works
------------
1. open a window and run result of run `ls` command (Sorry, window users)
2. find your file name, `/`, then type <Enter> to open it
To change the base directory of file list, run the vim command, :cd
i.e. `:cd ~/myproject`.
After :cd <path> command, your files listed by files.vim plugin will be based on the directory path.

How it works
When initialized, set related files
In vim window, when n is pressed
1. Get the current file name
2. Get the related files
3. Open a window with related files and let you to choose which file to open
1) <Enter> to open in a current window
2) "o" to open in a horizontally splitted window
3) "v" to open in a vertically split window
For Rails developers, there is pre-defined mapping like the following. You may want to change this. If so, you can re-define this in your .vimrc
let g:nextFilesMap["Ruby On Rails"] = {
\ "Ruby On Rails" : {
\ "Controller" : { "expression" : "app/controllers/(.*)_controller.rb$", "transform" : "pluralize" },
\ "Funtional Test" : { "expression" : "test/functional/(.*)_controller_test.rb$", "transform" : "pluralize" },
\ "View" : { "expression" : "app/views/(.*)/", "transform" : "pluralize" },
\ "Model" : { "expression" : "app/models/(.*).rb$", "transform" : "singularize" },
\ "Unit Test" : { "expression" : "test/unit/(.*)_test.rb$", "transform" : "singularize" }
\ }
\ }
