I think you should consider taking a look at projectile [https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile]. It lets you jump between different projects and opens files by offering you _every_ file in your project. This is incredibly useful combined with flex matching like ido or ido-flx. It can do all sorts of other project related tasks, too, but only using it for these two is already worth it, IMO. HTH, -- Alexander Baier
