1. Overview~
                                                *qnamefile-overview*

After using qnamebuf for a while I noticed I wanted to be able to choose a
file in a similar manner (by typing a non-).  After a refactoring of the
qnamebuf code into a core module |qnamepicker| and modules, this became
possible.

==============================================================================
2. Installation ~
                                                 *qnamefile-installation*

Extract the downloaded file in your personal |vimfiles| directory (~/.vim
under Unix or %HOMEPATH%\vimfiles under Windows).  Restart Vim and execute:
>
          helptags ~/.vim/doc
<

Requires that there be a find utility available in the path.  This should be
available on unix, on Windows GnuWin32 should be sufficient:

==============================================================================
2. Usage ~
                                                 *qnamefile-usage*

<S-F4> opens a listing of the files recursively from the current directory.
By default the only files that are not shown are those that are hidden, or are
in a hidden directory (e.g. .vimrc and anything in .vim/).  Typing a string
filters the list (by default using an algorithm like lustyexplorer vimscript
#1890).  All filtering is case insensitive.

Beyond the keybindinfs of |qnamepicker.txt| qnamefile provides:
    <M-V>  Opens the selected file in a vertical split
    <M-S>  Opens the selected file in a split
    <M-T>  Opens the selected file in a new tab
    <C-G>  Cancels
    <S-F4> Cancels

==============================================================================
3. Customization ~
                                                 *qnamefile-customization*

|g:qnamefile_hotkey| Set the default key to toggle qnamefile (defaults to <S-F4>).

One can create a mapping using something like:
>
    nmap <unique> <KEY> :call QNameFileInit(PATH, EXTENSIONS,
          INCLUDE_HIDDEN)<cr>:~
<
PATH specifies the path to start from, if it is |''| then it will default to
the current working directory (see |:pwd|).
EXTENSIONS is a space separated list of extensions to filter on (e.g. "h cpp
cc cxx c"), if it is |''| then there will be no filtering.
INCLUDE_HIDDEN if true will recurse into hidden directories, and show hidden
files (i.e. files starting with .).

|g:qnamefile_height| Controls the initial height of the window.

|g:qnamefile_leader| If true then will allow <LEADER><KEY> instead of <M-KEY>
in the mappings.

|g:qnamefile_regexp| If true will use regular expressions instead of a lusty
style selector.
