Rails on VIM with no files open

Question

I recently started using (Mac)VIM w/ Rails on VIM plugin.

My workflow is following: 0) open VIM in project's path 1) open new tab in VIM 2) open any file in project 3) do what i need w/ Rails on VIM

Do you have any ideas how to skip 2nd step so that i could run R* commands straight after opening a new tab?

Open some placeholder ({PROEJCT}/readme) on tab open? Any other ideas?

Answer 1

I'd write a shell script along the lines of

cd /project/path
vim README

or even just cd /project/path && vim - at least on Linux rails.vim detects a Rails app if you start it inside the app's directory

Right now, though, my workflow is exactly the same as yours and I don't mind going through the routine one or two times a day. :)
