NAME v - z for vim

SYNOPSIS v [-a] [-c] [-l] [-[0-9]] [--debug] [--help] [regex1 regex2 ... regexn]

AVAILABILITY bash, vim

INSTALLATION Put v somewhere in $PATH (e.g. /usr/local/bin/). For the manual page, put v.1 somewhere in $MANPATH (e.g. /usr/local/man/man1/).

DESCRIPTION v uses viminfo's list of recently edited files to open one quickly no matter where you are in the filesystem.

   By  default, it will open the most recently edited file matching all of
   the provided regular expressions.

OPTIONS -a don't skip deleted files -c restrict matches to subdirectories of the current dir -l when multiple matches, show a list -[0-9] edit nth most recent file --debug dry run --help show a brief help message

EXAMPLES v list and choose from all files v -0 reopen most recently edited file v foo bar edit first file matching foo and bar v -c foo bar choose files in current dir matching foo and bar v -l foo bar list and choose files matching foo and bar

NOTES Shell variables, such as $, must be escaped if used in regular expres- sions.

   Behavior
   The  default  behavior is to open the most recent file that matches the
   search terms, even if there are multiple matches.

   You may find it useful to alias vl='v  -l'.  When  there  are  multiple
   matches,  this  will prompt for a choice, rather than editing the first
   match. The author is still  not  sure  which  behavior  should  be  the
   default, and has chosen one provisionally.
