to locate the file and then edit it. I was trying to find if there is some solution directly in Vim, and haven't found one. Closest were :find and :globpath(). :find works nearly as I need, but unfortunatelly it opens the first file of a given name without telling me that there are more. For globpath() I was unable to make it work with the '**' construction, so that it would look into all subdirectories under current directory. So I wrote this small function. You can use it like this: :Find whatever.c - this opens the file "src/core/whatever.c" The function itself:
