Vim does not do this "out of the box".


It does it on the "word" level: https://stackoverflow.com/a/52635099/2958070


Yes, I use this a lot.

One problem though is that sometimes I have a sub-folder with lots of (unrelated) files and Vim starts searching it, thereby basically hanging the editor without a possibility to stop the operation.
