(projectile-find-file-dwim-other-frame &optional INVALIDATE-CACHE)

Documentation

Jump to a project's files using completion based on context in other frame.

With a prefix arg INVALIDATE-CACHE invalidates the cache first.

If point is on a filename, Projectile first tries to search for that file in project:

- If it finds just a file, it switches to that file instantly. This works
even if the filename is incomplete, but there's only a single file in the current project that matches the filename at point. For example, if there's only a single file named "projectile/projectile.el" but the current filename is "projectile/proj" (incomplete), projectile-find-file-dwim-other-frame still switches to
"projectile/projectile.el" immediately because this is the only filename
that matches.

- If it finds a list of files, the list is displayed for selecting. A list
of files is displayed when a filename appears more than one in the project or the filename at point is a prefix of more than two files in a project. For example, if projectile-find-file-dwim-other-frame is executed on a filepath like "projectile/", it lists the content of that directory. If it is executed on a partial filename like "projectile/a", a list of files with character "a" in that directory is presented.

- If it finds nothing, display a list of all files in project for selecting.
