As an avid MacVim user, I'm really interested in people pushing the graphical vim experience on Mac OS X.

I find it interesting that you included a fuzzy quick-open. One of the pain points with CtrlP in a large project - even with fast hardware - is the synchronous building of its filesystem cache. I would be interested in trying another implementation that lives inside of an app (where it can be dispatched asynchronously).

All in all, a nice looking app! I'm interested in giving it a shot!



Ctrl-p is great but I agree, lack of caching is a signigicant pain point. I raised an issue on that and the author explained it's because there's actually no mechanism for Vimscript to do it, so someone would probably need to come up with some way to spawn headless Vim from a periodic Cronjob. A standalone app like VimR can also route around this constraint.
