## What it is
A Vim plugin by Tim Pope that provides granular per-project configuration via 'projections' declared in .projections. or global heuristics. It generates custom navigation commands (like :Ecommand, :Edoc) for editing files matching patterns, plus file templates and alternate-file navigation.

## Use cases
- navigate between related project files in vim
- define custom :E commands for project file types
- auto-populate new files with boilerplate templates
- configure project structure per repository in vim
- jump between alternate files like source and test

## When to choose
- you live in Vim and want project-aware file navigation
- your project has recurring file patterns needing custom edit commands
- you want per-project file templates and boilerplate

## When to avoid
- you use a different editor or IDE
- you prefer fuzzy finders over typed navigation commands
- you need a zero-configuration solution

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: editor, developer-tools, file-system
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors
- platform: editor-plugin, cli, cross-platform
- tags: vim, project-configuration, navigation-commands, file-templates, projections
