Idea for FuzzyLocator: explicit command to add directory to the scan list

[vi]

For example, user has following files opened:

• /home/vi/code/myproject1/src/1.cpp (active file)
• /home/vi/code/myproject1/src/2.cpp
• /home/vi/code/myproject1/src/3.c
• /home/vi/code/myproject1/Makefile
• /home/vi/code/projecttobeimported/configure.am

Project root is set to /home/vi/code/myproject1/. Now user wants to open test.cpp (and later more files) from projecttobeimported.

Expected workflow:

\1. User gets idea to open test.cpp from other project. He pressed Ctrl+L/Ctrl+M (or whatever for merged locator + fuzzyopen);

|--------------------------------------|
| t.cpp                                |
|--------------------------------------|
| src/trott.cpp                        |
| test/codepulse.py                    |
|                                      |
|--------------------------------------|

\2. User thinks "Ah, it's another project, let's navigate there";

|--------------------------------------|
| f ../../pro                          |
|--------------------------------------|
| procrastinator/                      |
| procedure.bas                        |
| projecttobeeimported/                |
|--------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------|
| f ../../projecttobeimported/         |
|--------------------------------------|
| procrastinator/                      |
| procedure.bas                        |
| projecttobeeimported/ ************** |
|--------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------|
| f ../../projecttobeimported/         |
|--------------------------------------|
| configure.am                         |
| test.cpp                             |
| schmest.cpp                          |
|--------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------|
| f ../../projecttobeimported/test.cpp |
|--------------------------------------|
| configure.am                         |
| test.cpp *************************** |
| schmest.cpp                          |
|--------------------------------------|

Enter.

\3. User gets his file opened. But now he wants schmest.cpp as well and things "let's just add this project to session as well to open files from it easily".

|--------------------------------------|
| sch                                  |
|--------------------------------------|
| marshmallow.h                        |
|                                      |
|                                      |
|--------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------|
| f |                                  |
|--------------------------------------|
| configure.am                         |
| test.cpp *************************** |
| schmest.cpp                          |
|--------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------|
| scan .                               |
|--------------------------------------|
|                                      |
|                                      |
|                                      |
|--------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------|
| sch                                  |
|--------------------------------------|
| schmest.cpp                          |
| marshmallow.h                        |
|--------------------------------------|

Complicated for user and for Enki. I'm going to add a command (main menu? file browser? locator? ) to open a directory as a project in new Enki window. So you'll be able to

• shift project root up to include all necessary directories
• quickly open another directory and Alt+Tab between Enki instances
• use o command
