command. I'll name it :scout for now. I suggest these:
1. -a for automatic opening, as soon as there is only 1 match left
2. -e for automatic opening when the user presses enter
3. -k for keeping the console open until the user presses ESC
4. -s for letter skipping ("hl" matches "hello")
5. -g for globbing ("h*o" matches "hello")
6. -r for regular expressions ("h.*\w$" matches "hello")
7. -f for filtering the list of files to show only the matching ones
8. -t for the "as-you-type" feature
9. -m for marking all matching files
If none of -s, -g or -r are used, it matches when the given string is a
substring of the matching file name -- just like the :find command works
now. Obviously -s, -g and -r can't be used together.
We could implement lots of commands with these flags:
:find -> :scout -aet
:search -> :scout -r
:search_inc -> :scout -rt
:travel -> :scout -aeksft
:narrow -> :scout -esft
And all users would be happy because they can combine the flags however
they want.
