# Read In The Contents Of A Rails File
|
|
|
|
The [`rails.vim` plugin](https://github.com/tpope/vim-rails) allows you to
|
|
quickly navigate to specific types of files with the `E` prefix. For
|
|
instance, `:Emodel` will scope you to just the models directory.
|
|
|
|
You can use this same approach with the `D` prefix. Instead of navigating to
|
|
the specified file though, this will read in the contents of that file into
|
|
the current buffer.
|
|
|
|
Do you need to copy and tweak the contents of a similar view? Open up your
|
|
new view file (e.g. `:Eview posts/edit.html.erb`) and then enter `:Dview
|
|
posts/new` to quickly copy in its contents.
