Is it possible to configure vim to follow symlinks via gf?
For example, suppose I have a file foo.txt and a symlink bar in the same directory. I’d like to be able to edit the file bar points to by gf‘ing over the word ‘bar’ in foo.txt.
More generally, I’d like to be able to use find and other path-using commands as though the actual files were in the same directory as the file I’m editing. I’ll settle for a working gf though.
Works for me. VIM 7.1.
What output do you get when you
gfover the name of a symlink? Is+file_in_pathenabled when you type:version?
