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.

I'm a computer programmer from Ellicott City, MD.
I go to OSCON often, write random code, and blag about it here.
I enjoy cooking,
reviewing beer, hiking, kayaking, and watching movies and television shows. I am a licensed HAM Radio operator (KB3RXM), and am on my way to becoming a licensed private pilot.

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; };
