Preview file

[mollerhoj]

I've been using this plugin for a while now. It has always annoyed me that I cannot preview a file without closing the command-t window.

Say I want to look around in my controllers/accounts directory. I start :CommandT and type con/acc/. I can currently see all files in the folder. Now, if I want to view each file, will have to choose one, and repeat the procedure.

Would it be possible to implement A) a preview file command or B) a command to open Command-t with the same search as the previous one (in this case, open Command-t with the 'con/acc/' already typed in the prompt.?

Thanks for the feature request @mollerhoj and sorry for the delay in replying (I've been overseas).

It would certainly be possible and perhaps useful to implement a preview feature, although there are a lot of UI questions that would need to be decided in doing so. For the specific use case that you mention here (exploring a directory), I actually use NERDTree, which feels like the right tool for the job.

For now, a workaround for you might be to use the <c-q> binding when looking at the results, which puts the current results in Vim's "quickfix" listing, and from there you can jump around the files with built-in Vim commands (:cw to show the listing, :cn to go to the next entry in the list, :cp to go to the previous, etc).

Thanks for the answer! No need to implement anything, <c-q> seems to fit the use case perfectly!
