Has nobody ever heard of FuzzyFinder? It does this and way more... and it's tightly integrated to Vim so it's easy to customize and modify. It's better and it's free :)
Question: If I have my vimrc set up so that the current directory changes to that of the file i'm editing, will this plugin still work properly? E.g. In a rail application, if I edit a file in my app/controllers directory, the new working directory changes to app/controllers and other plugins (like command-t) only list files in this directory. Does this plugin continue searching from the root directory of the project, or does it do the same thing like command-t does?
There is an even more easy solution built-in by default: vim -p [files_to_open]. You bring up all your files in tabs in your fullscreen terminal and you're set. Copy-paste between them and all the good stuff. No reason to pay for something when you already have something better. ;)
There's another, quite similar, but free plugin for Vim, called Command-T. It doesn't pop up a GUI window though, it opens a window within Vim, so is slightly more integrated.
Basically, you press leaderkey-t, and it opens up a window very similar to the PeepOpen window. It brings up a list of files from the current working directory, which you can search through by typing the letters from the path name in. It's almost exactly the same as PeepOpen in this regard. But free!
am i on the wrong channel... i thought we are going for those latest and greatest... like sass or html5.... this month it's all about Vim.... i'm confused
@Bossiiiii It's a quick tip series that we'll conclude this week. And, as Vim is widely considered to be one of the best editors available, it's appropriate to promote in on Nettuts.

@kshep92 Ok I found a solution to my problem. In my vimrc:
//Disabled this for now//
"Change the current directory to that of the file last opened
"autocmd BufEnter * lcd %:p:h
//Now all I have to do is enter a file name
"Make a new file in the directory of the file I am editing
nmap :nf :e %:p:h\

I'm using coda and I noticed in your video that it supports coda. Does this plugin work on remote files?
