I think we have tools for that, such as `project-find-file` (and I'm pretty sure there are several alternatives in third party packages). > Less frequently I need to find a file in a sibling project. > Unfortunately, there are ~400 siblings, though I very rarely visit > more than 10. I don't know of a tool for that, but I'd be interested. I never have 400 siblings (more like less than 10), but I jump between siblings very often. There could be several notions of "sibling": - jump from /foo/bar/main/src/hello.c to /foo/bar/stable/src/hello.c. - jump from /foo/bar/main/src/hello.c to /foo/bar/main/test/src/hello-tests.el. - jump from /foo/bar/main/src/hello.c to /foo/bar/main/src/hello.h. Not sure if we'd want to treat them together or separately (we already have code to switch between .h and .c). Stefan
