FR: replace SPC f F with helm-find-files-at-point

[gleber]

... or smart-helm-find-files something similar. I would love if I could open a file based on the substring of it's file name, at which currently my point is pointing at.

👍 for the idea. Did you try g f? It is bound to find-file-at-point, I think it's a good candidate to put on SPC f F.

@gleber if your project is recognized by Projectile, you can use the command helm-projectile-find-file-dwim to jump to any file at point in your project, even if the path is not complete i.e. only filename. I don't know why Spacemacs hasn't gave this command a key binding.

@gleber is this not what SPC f F is already doing ? Can you describe the difference ?

[gleber]

In my case helm-find-files is bound to both SPC f F and SPC f f and it does not pick up whatever string is under a cursor. I.e. it just opens helm with current directory opened, but it does not pre-fill file name with a word at point.

I.e. I want:

1. SPC f f to open helm with the directory in which a currently opened file is located
2. SPC f F to open helm with the directory in which a current file is located and pre-fill helm input field with whatever word is under a point

[gleber]

Also somehow g f does not do what (2) always, it works only sometimes... It seem to work on single-word-named files (without underscores) but does not work with long_underscored_file_names
