Is it always using find-file or you use some shortcuts to access commonly used folders/files? For example, if you have a project currently working on, which contains files spread in different folders, say: > IZ> - Apache config files in /opt/apache/... > IZ> - Source of your newest PHP application in ~/php/... > IZ> - Some configuration of your DNS server in /etc/... > IZ> - > IZ> do you find-file all of them (or dired in a similar fashion), or do you use something else to quickly access them? > > I use anything.el: > > http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/anything-config.el > http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/Anything > > It's really useful.

In addition to locate, if you use anything-traverse.el, you will be able to search files recursively in a directory tree.You can have these datas persistent between emacs sessions if you want. I can index the 35000 files of my home directory with that. You can have an index in any directory. > Ted > -- A + Thierry Volpiatto Location: Saint-Cyr-Sur-Mer - France
