Is there a way to make find-file with ido mode collapse empty directories, like how github will just show com/mydomain as a path if there's nothing else in com?

any evil users have a way to yank a keword. i can yank a word (it doesn't grap the : with yiw.

copy-sexp seems to work fine

ok now how to i just replace a keyword with the one i just yanked.

take a look at evil-inner-symbol and evil-a-symbol bound to io and ao respectively. I'm not entirely sure why they're included in evil (they're not in vim by default) but they're so useful in code buffers.
