Dear Maintainer,

The 'e' (edit) command of Vim has command-line completion.  Items
offered include file names and directory names.  Directory names
should not be included by default.

TIA,

David


I think this is the correct behavior and should stay default.

Typing :e to edit this file:

/some/verylongdirectorynames/tohideaveryspecial/file

I am very grateful to have autocompletion :)

Thank you for the prompt reply.


My use-case is Perl module development. It is common to have a module source subtree such as:

    lib/Foo.pm
    lib/Foo/Bar.pm
    lib/Foo/Baz.pm


I find that when using ':e' in Vim, I end up opening lib/Foo by accident far too often. Is there a solution?


David
