Vim:wildmenu woes
I wanted to be able to quickly open files in a project with :find, so naturally I ran:
path+=services/**
I noticed this was horrifically slow, presumably because there's a couple node_modules folders buried deep in this directory.
My natural assumption was that I could simply 'ignore' this pattern. So I tried:
wildignore+=**/node_modules/**
Nop still slow 🐌, But why?
Turns out adding node_modules to wildignore only filters results from showing in the wildmenu. But crucially this doesn't prevent find from recursively searching these directories!
I find this behaviour pretty confusing. Why does find recurse into directories if ultimately the results are filtered/discarded anyway?
Here's to hoping vim eventually implements a pathignore options as suggested here
*Just use a fuzzy finder
