Hi Roberto,

I am not sure sharing this is going to be helpful, but here goes:

I usually open vim from my project directory, without giving it a filepath.
And then I use fzf via this plugin:
https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim to find the file I want to open.

I have it mapped this way:

nnoremap <leader>f :FZF<cr>

cheers,
nico
