|
bgneal@0
|
82 |current-directory|) to:
|
bgneal@0
|
83 1 - the parent directory of the current file.
|
bgneal@0

|
bgneal@0
|
95
|
bgneal@0
|
96 *'g:ctrlp_root_markers'*
|
bgneal@0

98 markers will take precedence: >
|
bgneal@0
|
99 let g:ctrlp_root_markers = ['']
|
bgneal@0
|
100 <
|
bgneal@0
|
101 These markers (builtins and yours) will serve as identifiers for the '/' and
|
bgneal@0
|
102 '\' special inputs (section 5.e)
|
bgneal@0
|
103
|
bgneal@0
|
104 *'g:ctrlp_use_caching'*
|
bgneal@0
|
105 Set this to 0 to disable per-session caching. When disabled, caching will still
|
bgneal@0
|
106 be enabled for directories that have more than 4000 files: >
|
bgneal@0
|
107 let g:ctrlp_use_caching = 1
|
bgneal@0

155 to your |vimrc|: >
|
bgneal@0
|
156 let g:ctrlp_prompt_mappings = {
|
bgneal@0

|
bgneal@0
|
161
|
bgneal@0
|
162 *'g:ctrlp_mruf_max'*
|
bgneal@0
|
163 Specify the number of recently opened files you want |CtrlP| to remember: >
|
bgneal@0
|
164 let g:ctrlp_mruf_max = 250
|
bgneal@0
|
165 <
|
bgneal@0
|
166
|
bgneal@0
|
167 *'g:ctrlp_mruf_exclude'*
|
bgneal@0
|
168 Files you don’t want |CtrlP| to remember; use |regexp| to specify the patterns:
|
bgneal@0
|
169 >
|
bgneal@0
|
170 let g:ctrlp_mruf_exclude = ''
|
bgneal@0
|
171 <
|
bgneal@0
|
172 Examples: >
|
bgneal@0
|
173 let g:ctrlp_mruf_exclude = '/tmp/.*\|/temp/.*' " MacOSX/Linux
|
bgneal@0
|
174 let g:ctrlp_mruf_exclude = '^C:\\dev\\tmp\\.*' " Windows
|
bgneal@0
|
175 <
|
bgneal@0
|
176
|
bgneal@0
|
177 *'g:ctrlp_mruf_include'*
|
bgneal@0
|
178 And if you want |CtrlP| to only remember some files, specify them here: >
|
bgneal@0
|
179 let g:ctrlp_mruf_include = ''
|
bgneal@0
|
180 <
|
bgneal@0
|
181 Example: >
|
bgneal@0
|
182 let g:ctrlp_mruf_include = '\.py$\|\.rb$'
|
bgneal@0
|
183 <
|
bgneal@0
|
184
|
bgneal@0
|
185 *'g:ctrlp_mruf_case_sensitive'*
|
bgneal@0
|
186 Match this with your file system case-sensitivity setting to avoid duplicate
|
bgneal@0
|
187 MRU entries: >
|
bgneal@0
|
188 let g:ctrlp_mruf_case_sensitive = 1
|
bgneal@0
|
189 <
|
bgneal@0
|
190
|
bgneal@0
|
191 *'g:ctrlp_dotfiles'*
|
bgneal@0
|
192 Set this to 0 if you don’t want |CtrlP| to search for dotfiles and dotdirs: >
|
bgneal@0
|
193 let g:ctrlp_dotfiles = 1
|
bgneal@0
|
194 <
|
bgneal@0
|
195 You can also use |'wildignore'| to exclude anything from the search.
|
bgneal@0
|
196 e.g. exclude version control directories from the results: >
|
bgneal@0
|
197 set wildignore+=*/.git/*,*/.hg/*,*/.svn/* " Linux/MacOSX
|
bgneal@0
|
198 set wildignore+=.git\*,.hg\*,.svn\* " Windows
|
bgneal@0
|
199 <
|
bgneal@0
|
200 Note: the `*/` in front of each dotfile glob is required for the dotfiles
|
bgneal@0
|
201 search feature to work correctly along side with |wildignore|. If you’ve
|
bgneal@0
|
202 disabled dotfiles search (set |g:ctrlp_dotfiles| to 0), then you can ignore
|
bgneal@0
|
203 this.
|
bgneal@0
|
204
|
bgneal@0
|
205 Other note: |wildignore| influences the result of |expand()|, |globpath()| and
|
bgneal@0
|
206 |glob()| which many plugins use to find stuff on the system (e.g. fugitive.vim
|
bgneal@0
|
207 looks for .git/, some other plugins look for external exe tools on Windows).
|
bgneal@0
|
208 So be a little mindful of what you put in your |wildignore|.
|
bgneal@0
|
209
|
bgneal@0
|
210 *'g:ctrlp_highlight_match'*
|
bgneal@0
|
211 Use this to enable/disable highlighting of the matched patterns and to specify
|
bgneal@0
|
212 the highlight group that’ll be used: >
|
bgneal@0
|
213 let g:ctrlp_highlight_match = [1, 'Identifier']
|
bgneal@0
|
214 <
|
bgneal@0
|
215
|
bgneal@0
|
216 *'g:ctrlp_max_files'*
|
bgneal@0
|
217 The maximum number of files to scan, set to 0 for no limit: >
|
bgneal@0
|
218 let g:ctrlp_max_files = 20000
|
bgneal@0
|
219 <
|
bgneal@0
|
220
|
bgneal@0
|
221 *'g:ctrlp_max_depth'*
|
bgneal@0
|
222 The maximum depth of a directory tree to recurse into: >
|
bgneal@0
|
223 let g:ctrlp_max_depth = 40
|
bgneal@0
|
224 <
|
bgneal@0
|
225 Note: the larger these values, the more memory Vim uses.
|
bgneal@0
|
226
|
bgneal@0
|
227 *'g:ctrlp_user_command'*
|
bgneal@0
|
228 Specify an external tool to use for listing files instead of Vim’s globpath().
|
bgneal@0
|
229 Use %s in place of the target directory: >
|
bgneal@0
|
230 let g:ctrlp_user_command = ''
|
bgneal@0
|
231 <
|
bgneal@0
|
232 Examples: >
|
bgneal@0
|
233 let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'find %s -type f' " MacOSX/Linux
|
bgneal@0
|
234 let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'dir %s /-n /b /s /a-d' " Windows
|
bgneal@0
|
235 <
|
bgneal@0
|
236 You can also use 'grep', 'findstr' or something else to filter the results.
|
bgneal@0
|
237 Examples: >
|
bgneal@0
|
238 let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'find %s -type f | grep (?!tmp/.*)'
|
bgneal@0
|
239 let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'dir %s /-n /b /s /a-d | findstr .*\.py$'
|
bgneal@0
|
240 <
|
bgneal@0
|
241 Use a version control listing command when inside a repository, this is a lot
|
bgneal@0
|
242 faster when working with large projects: >
|
bgneal@0
|
243 let g:ctrlp_user_command = [repo_marker, vcs_ls_command, fallback_command]
|
bgneal@0
|
244 <
|
bgneal@0
|
245 If the fallback_command is empty or not defined, globpath() will then be used
|
bgneal@0
|
246 when searching outside a repo.
|
bgneal@0
|
247 Examples: >
|
bgneal@0
|
248 let g:ctrlp_user_command = ['.git/', 'cd %s && git ls-files']
|
bgneal@0
|
249 let g:ctrlp_user_command = ['.hg/', 'hg --cwd %s locate --fullpath -I .']
|
bgneal@0
|
250 <
|
bgneal@0
|
251
|
bgneal@0
|
252 *'g:ctrlp_open_new_file'*
|
bgneal@0
|
253 Use this option to specify how the newly created file is to be opened when
|
bgneal@0
|
254 pressing <c-y>:
|
bgneal@0
|
255 1 - in a new tab
|
bgneal@0
|
256 2 - in a new horizontal split
|
bgneal@0
|
257 3 - in a new vertical split
|
bgneal@0
|
258 0 - in the current window
|
bgneal@0
|
259 >
|
bgneal@0
|
260 let g:ctrlp_open_new_file = 3
|
bgneal@0
|
261 <
|
bgneal@0
|
262
|
bgneal@0
|
263 *'g:ctrlp_max_history'*
|
bgneal@0
|
264 The maximum number of input strings you want |CtrlP| to remember. The default
|
bgneal@0
|
265 value mirrors Vim’s global |'history'| option: >
|
bgneal@0
|
266 let g:ctrlp_max_history = &history
|
bgneal@0
|
267 <
|
bgneal@0
|
268 Set to 0 to disable prompt’s history.
|
bgneal@0
|
269
|
bgneal@0
|
270 *'g:ctrlp_open_multi'*
|
bgneal@0
|
271 If non-zero, this will enable opening multiple files with <c-z> and <c-o>: >
|
bgneal@0
|
272 let g:ctrlp_open_multi = '1v'
|
bgneal@0
|
273 <
|
bgneal@0
|
274 For the number:
|
bgneal@0
|
275 If bigger than 1, it’ll be used as the maximum number of windows or tabs to
|
bgneal@0
|
276 create when opening the files (the rest will be hidden buffers). If is 1,
|
bgneal@0
|
277 <c-o> will open all files, each in a new window or new tab.
|
bgneal@0
|
278 For the letter:
|
bgneal@0
|
279 t - each in a tab
|
bgneal@0
|
280 h - each in a horizontal split
|
bgneal@0
|
281 v - each in a vertical split
|
bgneal@0
|
282
|

283 *'g:ctrlp_dont_split'*
|
bgneal@0
|
284 When opening a file with <cr>, |CtrlP| avoids opening it in windows created by
|
bgneal@0
|
285 plugins, help and quickfix. Use this to setup some exceptions: >
|
bgneal@0
|
286 let g:ctrlp_dont_split = ''
|
bgneal@0
|
287 <
|
bgneal@0
|
288 Acceptable values are partial names or filetypes of the special buffers. Use
|
bgneal@0
|
289 |regexp| to specify the pattern. Example: >
|
bgneal@0
|
290 let g:ctrlp_dont_split = 'netrw\|help'
|
bgneal@0
|
291 <
|
bgneal@0

|
bgneal@0
|
293 *'g:ctrlp_follow_symlinks'*
|
bgneal@0
|
294 Set this to 1 to follow symbolic links when listing files: >
|
bgneal@0
|
295 let g:ctrlp_follow_symlinks = 0
|
bgneal@0
|
296 <
|
bgneal@0
|
297
|
bgneal@0
|
298 *'g:ctrlp_lazy_update'*
|
bgneal@0
|
299 Set this to 1 to enable the lazy-update feature: only update the match window
|
bgneal@0
|
300 after typing’s been stopped for a certain amount of time: >
|
bgneal@0
|
301 let g:ctrlp_lazy_update = 0
|
bgneal@0
|
302 <
|
bgneal@0
|
303 If is 1, update after 250ms. If bigger than 1, the number will be used as the
|
bgneal@0
|
304 delay time in milliseconds.
|
bgneal@0
|
305
|
bgneal@0
|
306 *'g:ctrlp_use_migemo'*
|
bgneal@0
|
307 Set this to 1 to use Migemo Pattern for Japanese filenames. Migemo Search only
|
bgneal@0
|
308 works in |regexp| mode. To split the pattern, separate words with space: >
|
bgneal@0
|

466 5. Input Formats *ctrlp-input-formats*
|
bgneal@0
|
467
|
bgneal@0
|
468 Formats for inputting in the prompt:~
|
bgneal@0
|
469
|
bgneal@0
|
470 a) Simple string.
|
bgneal@0
|
471 e.g. 'abc' is understood internally as 'a[^a]\{-}b[^b]\{-}c'
|
bgneal@0
|
472
|
bgneal@0
|
473 b) Vim |regexp|. If the input string contains '*' or '|', it’ll be treated as
|
bgneal@0
|
474 a Vim’s |regexp| |pattern| without any modification.
|
bgneal@0
|
475 e.g. 'abc\d*efg' will be read as 'abc\d*efg'.
|
bgneal@0
|
476
|
bgneal@0
|
477 See also |ctrlp-fullregexp| (key map) and |g:ctrlp_regexp_search| (option).
|
bgneal@0
|
478
|
bgneal@0
|
479 c) End the string with a colon ':' followed by a Vim command to execute that
|
bgneal@0
|
480 command after opening the file. If you need to use ':' in the command,
|
bgneal@0
|
481 escape it with a backslash: '\:'.
|
bgneal@0
|
482 e.g. 'abc:45' will open the selected file and jump to line 45.
|
bgneal@0
|
483 'abc:/my\:function' will open the selected file and jump to the first
|
bgneal@0
|
484 instance of 'my:function'.
|
bgneal@0
|
485 'abc:+setf\ myfiletype|50' will open the selected file and set its
|
bgneal@0
|
486 filetype to 'myfiletype' then jump to line 50.
|
bgneal@0
|
487
|
bgneal@0
|
488 See also Vim’s |++opt| and |+cmd|.
|
bgneal@0
|
489
|
bgneal@0
|
490 d) Type exactly two dots '..' at the start of the prompt and press enter to go
|
bgneal@0
|
491 backward in the directory tree by 1 level. If the parent directory is
|
bgneal@0
|
492 large, this might be slow.
|
bgneal@0
|
493
|
bgneal@0
|
494 e) Similarly submit '/' or '\' to find and go to the project’s root. If the
|
bgneal@0
|
495 project is large, using a VCS listing command to look for files might help
|
bgneal@0
|
496 speeding up the intial scan (see |g:ctrlp_user_command| for more details).
|
bgneal@0
|
497
|
bgneal@0
|
498 f) Type the name of a non-existent file and press <c-y> to create it.
|
bgneal@0
|
499 e.g. 'parentdir/file.txt' will create a directory named 'parentdir' as well
|
bgneal@0
|
500 as 'file.txt'.
|
bgneal@0
|
501 Use '\' in place of '/' on Windows (if |'ssl'| is not set).
|
bgneal@0
|
502
|
bgneal@0
|
503 g) Submit ? to open this help file.

506 6. Extensions *g:ctrlp-extensions*
|
bgneal@0
|
507
|
bgneal@0
|
508 Extensions are optional. To enable an extension, add its name to the variable
|
bgneal@0
|
509 g:ctrlp_extensions: >
|
bgneal@0
|
510 let g:ctrlp_extensions = ['tag', 'quickfix', 'dir']
|
bgneal@0
|
511 <
|
bgneal@0
|
512 The order of the items will be the order they appear on the statusline and when
|
bgneal@0
|
513 using <c-f>, <c-b>.
|
bgneal@0
|
514
|
bgneal@0
|
515 Available extensions:~

|
bgneal@0
|
521 - Search for a tag within a generated central tags file, and jump to the
|
bgneal@0
|
522 definition. Use the Vim’s option |'tags'| to specify the names and the
|
bgneal@0
|
523 locations of the tags file(s). Example: `set tags+=tags/help,doc/tags`
|
bgneal@0
|
524
|
bgneal@0
|
525 *:CtrlPQuickfix*
|
bgneal@0

|
527 - Name: 'quickfix'
|
bgneal@0
|
528 - Command: ':CtrlPQuickfix'
|
bgneal@0
|
529 - Search for an entry in the current quickfix errors and jump to it.
|
bgneal@0
|
530
|
bgneal@0
|
531 *:CtrlPDir*
|
bgneal@0
|
532 * Directory mode:~

bgneal@0
|
533 - Name: 'dir'
|
bgneal@0
|
534 - Command: ':CtrlPDir'
|
bgneal@0
|
535 - Search for a directory and change the working directory to it.
|
bgneal@0
|
536 - Mappings:
|
bgneal@0
|
537 + <cr> change the local working directory for |CtrlP| and keep it open.
|
bgneal@0
|
538 + <c-t> change the global working directory (exit).
|
bgneal@0
|
539 + <c-v> change the local working directory for the current window (exit).
|
bgneal@0
|
540 + <c-x> change the global working directory to |CtrlP|’s current local
|
bgneal@0
|
541 working directory (exit).

544 EXTENDING *ctrlp-extending*
|
bgneal@0
|
545
|
bgneal@0
|
546 Extending |CtrlP| is very simple. Simply create a vim file following a short
|
bgneal@0
|
547 guidelines, place it in autoload/ctrlp/ and add its name to your .vimrc.
|
bgneal@0
|
548
|
bgneal@0
|
549 To see how it works, get the sample.vim from the extensions branch on the main
|
bgneal@0
|
550 git repository (https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim/tree/extensions), and place
|
bgneal@0
|
551 it along with the parent directories somewhere in your runtimepath. Then put
|
bgneal@0
|
552 this into your .vimrc: >
|
bgneal@0
|
553 let g:ctrlp_extensions = ['sample']
|
bgneal@0
|
554 <
|
bgneal@0
|
555 A new search type will show up the next time you open |CtrlP|.
|

|
bgneal@0

561
|
bgneal@0
|
562 Developed by Kien Nguyen <github.com/kien>, initially based on the Command-T
|
bgneal@0
|
563 and the LustyExplorer plugins. No code was taken from these plugins, but I did
|
bgneal@0
|
564 clone the majority of their (awesome) interfaces and the way they work.
|
bgneal@0
|
565
|
bgneal@0
|
566 This was originally written as a module for a would-be larger plugin called
|
bgneal@0
|
567 AutoDoc.vim which I’ve stopped developing because of lost of interest. I really
|
bgneal@0
|
568 liked the way Command-T and LustyExplorer deal with user’s input, so I wrote a
|
bgneal@0
|
569 pure Vimscript version of their prompt window, intended to use it for the
|
bgneal@0
|
570 aforementioned plugin.
