Re: I'm looking for a project management system for Emacs

[Jai Dayal <dayalsoap@gmail.com>]

Helm and flx are somethings I've been using to find files both in my
project and outside my project. They have great incremental fuzzy search.

I want to find main.cpp in project "project1"?

C-x C-f project1 main.cpp // it then lets me complete ~/project1/main.cpp

I want to find main.cpp in project "project2"?

C-x C-f project2 main.cpp // it then lets me complete ~/project2/main.cpp


It might take a second to work its way up the directory tree relative to
where you are, but helm and flx are great.
