Discussion on: What is the missing part of vim ?

Check out Plug (extremely simple plugin manager) and FZF.vim. Both are easy to set up. I have two primary hotkeys I use: "fuzzy search for a file by name" and "fuzzy search for a file by content". I have variations on those for opening in the current tab or a new tab. I use them both constantly, and I've found it to be much more practical than ctags or language servers for navigating some utterly massive Rails codebases (you might think it would be slow, but the recursive content search results update as fast as I type, even with binary files and other noise cluttering the search).

Thanks. I will check that.
