fmf.el
Table of Contents
What is it?
fmf.el provides the user the ability to open multiple files (i.e. *.C)
with one call to find-multiple-files.
It is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
Why was it written?
fmf.el was written because a dear friend and old college roommate
(Andrew Nuxoll) asked me too. It was written in a time long ago before
the newer emacsen that provide this functionality via the
find-file-wildcards variable existed.
fmf.el is no longer being actively maintained. I provide it here
simply so that those of you stuck on an older emacs can still use it.
Features
- The find-multiple-files function. I recommend binding this to
^X^F, replacing find-file.
- No less than 5 (count 'em... FIVE) ways to expand the wildcard
into a file list. Only 4 are tried... the fifth is there 'just in
case'.
- Tested on GNU Emacs (including NT Emacs).
Limitations
- May not work on newer versions of emacs since this code is
no longer being maintained. Newer versions of emacs have this
functionality built in.
