I installed the vim plugin on many different ways. I try to start it with Ctrl-T but what I get is always that error: E492: Not an editor command: FuzzyFinderTextMate
I'm pretty sure this plugin has lost its original flair. Doesn't seem to work well. Read more: http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2009/1/28/the-future-of-fuzzyfinder-textmate and https://wincent.com/blog/fuzzyfinder
I was getting the same error "E492: Not an editor command: FuzzyFinderTextMate" with OS X 10.6.2. It turns out the default vim installation in Snow Leopard was not compiled with ruby support. Once I recompiled vim with ruby support, the plugin worked as expected.
The installation steps that worked for me:
- Compile Vim with Ruby using macports:
sudo port install vim +ruby
- Download fuzzyfinder.vim 2.16 to ~/.vim/plugin
- Download fuzzy_file_finder.rb to ~/.vim/ruby
- Download fuzzyfinder_textmate.vim to ~/.vim/plugin
- Added the following line to ~/.vimrc:
map <C-j> :FuzzyFinderTextMate<CR>
If you run into problems, check the original and update blog posts for help.
This worked for me on 10.6.4:
Grab fuzzyfinder.vim and fuzzyfinder_textmate.vim from http://github.com/sethbc/fuzzyfinder_textmate. Drop both of those into ~/.vim/plugin
Then grab fuzzy_file_finder.rb from github.com/jamis/fuzzy_file_finder and drop it into ~/.vim/ruby
In .vimrc, I added:
map <leader>t :FuzzyFinderTextMate<CR>
so "\t" (without the quotes) will launch, though you should map whatever feels best for you (see other answers/comments).

George, thank you so much for posting this. I've been fighting to get this working for some time now, and it works perfectly.
