In sublime text, we can press ⌘⇧P to bring up the command palette. Are there any similar tools for vim?
I’ve been trying vim-ctrlp-cmdpalette, and although it works relatively well (there are some small issues), it depends on ctrlp (not a huge problem), and it looks like it won’t see much development (it has 14 commits over the course of 3 days, 5 months ago, for an “Initial experimental version”), so I was wondering if there are any known alternatives, since searching for “vim command palette” is a bit limiting; maybe there are some other terms more appropriate for this.
3“cool but ultimately unnecessary fuzzy search”; that’s where our opinions differ. Many times I only remember part of a command, and not the start, so fuzzy searching is not useless to me. Also, in addition to the fuzzy search, it also gives a short command descriptions, which is very useful to understand new plugin options. – user137369 – 2013-11-08T16:40:48.270
Hmm. New plugins options are explained in the plugin's documentation. Also I said "unnecessary", not "useless". There's no direct equivalent of that command palette in vim. You'll have to adapt or convince ctrlp's developer to add the features you want. – romainl – 2013-11-08T17:50:37.567
“Also I said "unnecessary", not "useless"”. You’re correct, and I apologise, my mistake. – user137369 – 2013-11-08T18:18:02.020
