 We're continuing our series on Vim and today we're going to be looking at file name completion last week We looked at auto completing based on text. That's in your current file But let's say you want to type out the name of a file on your hard drive for some sort of script or whatever reason And you're you know you want to tab complete that I say tab complete. It's not really tab complete We auto complete that So what we're going to do here is we're going to type in something like echo Test and then we want to pipe that into a file and let's say the file is inside our temp folder So I can type tip and then I can hit control X So I hit control X you can see that it gives different modes down here at the bottom right here And we're looking at F for file so now that I hit control X I can hit control F and it starts listing out files in my temp folder and Right there is the my test file so we can choose that If I was to have the MRA typed and I hit control X control F It will auto complete because it's the only one that starts with an M a capital M in that directory But let's say we were to slash Dev slash S So we're looking at things to start with S in my Device folder I can hit control X control F And you can see all my different hard drives and other things starting with S if I was to Put SD it's only a list of things to start with SD if I do SD a now it completes anything SD a and of course I can pick them from the list and Have at it so again last week we looked at using Tab completion for for words that were already in your document But you can tab complete any file in on your hard drive, and if you don't have a slash For example, I'm re in my temp folder So if I do capital M control X control F It will automatically put in the name of the file in our current directory that starts with whatever I had typed So again, that's control X control F For file completion again, there's more functionality is but that's the basics of it. It's very useful when you're trying to you know Type names of files on your hard drive, especially if it's a long path So I thank you for watching as always I hope you enjoyed this video if you did think about supporting me over at patreon.com forward slash metal X1000 or through PayPal There's links in the description To films by Chris comm that's Chris the K there you can find the links for supporting me And my work and you can also search through all the videos my site and you can also go there and find a link to search through all my computer programming notes and Open-source projects that I've posted up online.
