Please try command-t.vim instead. That Article is from 2008 :)

Alternatively, with the latest version of FuzzyFinder add this line to your .vimrc:

    nmap <silent> <C-t> :call fuf#givenfile#launch('', 0, '> ', split(glob('./**/*'), "\n"))<CR>

fuzzy-finder-textmate (http://github.com/jamis/fuzzyfinder_textmate) is a separate script from FuzzyFinder (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1984). FuzzyFinder was the driver. fuzzy-finder-textmate was the adapter that gave command-T to FuzzyFinder.

FuzzyFinder works for things other than just files. It also works on tags, buffers, etc. Also, with updated versions of FuzzyFinder, you no longer need fuzzy-finder-textmate, just that line I posted above.

That said, if all you want is command-T, yeah...FuzzyFinder might be overkill.

command-t doesn't rank results in the right order. 90+% of the time I find myself having to scroll through the results to get the file I'm actually looking for. Fuzzy-finder, while a lot slower in running time, is actually faster to use and requires less mental load, since the right result is almost always the top one.

Unless Command-t can implement the ordering right, it's pretty useless.

I keep hearing good things about the PeepOpen plugin though.

Open a ticket and explain exactly how stuff should be sorted :)
