Not a sandwich, but a Vim Which!

March 26, 2007

I often find myself going to find scripts I’ve written that I want to edit, but I decided today I’d make things easier on myself:


hank@rura-penthe ~ $ cat bin/vimwhich
#!/bin/bash
vim `which $1`

All this does is shorten vim `which myscript` to vimwhich myscript. Helpful for just a couple lines of code.

    If you used zsh (which does many things better than bash) you could just use: vim =scriptname

    or you can use bash alias (since bash rocks so much)
    function vimwhich(){ vim `which $1`; };
