[request] v multiply files

[sunner]

If I have opened file foo.c and bar.c, I can use v foo and v bar to open them separately.

The request is that v foo bar can open both files concurrently in vim.

Even more, we can v multiply files in one line of command.

Thank you! Both z and v are must have for every machine of me!

This would unfortunately break current behaviour, which I (at least) find useful ... v foo bar would open a file matching both 'foo' and 'bar' ... each argument is a separate, additive regex. This behaviour is intended to allow high flexibility for thinking mnemonically about file names.

Being able to open multiple files is indeed interesting and useful, and I've been thinking about it for a while, so I'll leave this issue open and maybe come up with a nice solution at some point.

I would like to type "v mirr" and open all the files that match instead of only the first one.

Same for your example "v foo bar" opens all files that match foo and match bar also (not just the first one among the set of files that match both patterns).

What sunner asked can then be done by v foo|bar (I think).

I second this feature request. v -m n string is my proposal to open the n most recent files containing the string. Opening all the files matching does not make so much sense because then one would have a large amount of buffers to choose from which adds up to the time saved through v.

@sitaram v a | b pipes the output of 'v a' to the command 'b'.

When I made #18 I didn't see that this already existed.

So, +1 from me.
