bgneal@0: <
bgneal@0: 
bgneal@0:                                                        *'g:ctrlp_mruf_exclude'*

bgneal@0: And if you want |CtrlP| to only remember some files, specify them here: >
bgneal@0:   let g:ctrlp_mruf_include = ''
bgneal@0: <
bgneal@0: Example: >
bgneal@0:   let g:ctrlp_mruf_include = '\.py$\|\.rb$'

bgneal@0:                                                 *'g:ctrlp_mruf_case_sensitive'*
bgneal@0: Match this with your file system case-sensitivity setting to avoid duplicate
bgneal@0: MRU entries: >
bgneal@0:   let g:ctrlp_mruf_case_sensitive = 1
bgneal@0: <
bgneal@0: 
bgneal@0:                                                            *'g:ctrlp_dotfiles'*
bgneal@0: Set this to 0 if you don’t want |CtrlP| to search for dotfiles and dotdirs: >
bgneal@0:   let g:ctrlp_dotfiles = 1
bgneal@0: <
bgneal@3: You can use |'wildignore'| to exclude anything from the search.
bgneal@3: e.g. exclude version control directories: >
bgneal@0:   set wildignore+=*/.git/*,*/.hg/*,*/.svn/*  " Linux/MacOSX
bgneal@0:   set wildignore+=.git\*,.hg\*,.svn\*        " Windows
bgneal@0: <
bgneal@3: Note: the `*/` in front of each glob is required.
bgneal@0: 
bgneal@0: Other note: |wildignore| influences the result of |expand()|, |globpath()| and
bgneal@0: |glob()| which many plugins use to find stuff on the system (e.g. fugitive.vim
bgneal@0: looks for .git/, some other plugins look for external exe tools on Windows).
bgneal@0: So be a little mindful of what you put in your |wildignore|.
bgneal@0:

bgneal@3: In addition to |'wildignore'|, use this for files and directories you want only
bgneal@3: |CtrlP| to not show. Use |regexp| to specify the pattern: >
bgneal@3:   let g:ctrlp_custom_ignore = ''

bgneal@0: Use this to enable/disable highlighting of the matched patterns and to specify
bgneal@0: the highlight group that’ll be used: >
bgneal@0:   let g:ctrlp_highlight_match = [1, 'Identifier']
bgneal@0: <
bgneal@0: 
bgneal@0:                                                           *'g:ctrlp_max_files'*
bgneal@0: The maximum number of files to scan, set to 0 for no limit: >
bgneal@0:   let g:ctrlp_max_files = 20000
bgneal@0: <
bgneal@0: 
bgneal@0:                                                           *'g:ctrlp_max_depth'*
bgneal@0: The maximum depth of a directory tree to recurse into: >
bgneal@0:   let g:ctrlp_max_depth = 40
bgneal@0: <
bgneal@0: Note: the larger these values, the more memory Vim uses.
bgneal@0: 
bgneal@0:                                                        *'g:ctrlp_user_command'*
bgneal@0: Specify an external tool to use for listing files instead of Vim’s globpath().
bgneal@0: Use %s in place of the target directory: >
bgneal@0:   let g:ctrlp_user_command = ''
bgneal@0: <
bgneal@0: Examples: >
bgneal@0:   let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'find %s -type f'       " MacOSX/Linux
bgneal@0:   let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'dir %s /-n /b /s /a-d' " Windows
bgneal@0: <
bgneal@0: You can also use 'grep', 'findstr' or something else to filter the results.
bgneal@0: Examples: >
bgneal@0:   let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'find %s -type f | grep (?!tmp/.*)'
bgneal@0:   let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'dir %s /-n /b /s /a-d | findstr .*\.py$'
bgneal@0: <
bgneal@0: Use a version control listing command when inside a repository, this is a lot
bgneal@0: faster when working with large projects: >
bgneal@0:   let g:ctrlp_user_command = [repo_marker, vcs_ls_command, fallback_command]
bgneal@0: <
bgneal@0: If the fallback_command is empty or not defined, globpath() will then be used
bgneal@0: when searching outside a repo.
bgneal@0: Examples: >
bgneal@0:   let g:ctrlp_user_command = ['.git/', 'cd %s && git ls-files']
bgneal@0:   let g:ctrlp_user_command = ['.hg/', 'hg --cwd %s locate --fullpath -I .']

bgneal@0: Use this option to specify how the newly created file is to be opened when
bgneal@0: pressing <c-y>:
bgneal@0:   1 - in a new tab
bgneal@0:   2 - in a new horizontal split
bgneal@0:   3 - in a new vertical split
bgneal@0:   0 - in the current window

bgneal@0: The maximum number of input strings you want |CtrlP| to remember. The default
bgneal@0: value mirrors Vim’s global |'history'| option: >
bgneal@0:   let g:ctrlp_max_history = &history
bgneal@0: <
bgneal@0: Set to 0 to disable prompt’s history.
bgneal@0: 
bgneal@0:                                                          *'g:ctrlp_open_multi'*
bgneal@0: If non-zero, this will enable opening multiple files with <c-z> and <c-o>: >
bgneal@0:   let g:ctrlp_open_multi = '1v'
bgneal@0: <
bgneal@0: For the number:
bgneal@0:   If bigger than 1, it’ll be used as the maximum number of windows or tabs to
bgneal@0:   create when opening the files (the rest will be hidden buffers). If is 1,
bgneal@0:   <c-o> will open all files, each in a new window or new tab.
bgneal@0: For the letter:
bgneal@0:   t - each in a tab
bgneal@0:   h - each in a horizontal split
bgneal@0:   v - each in a vertical split
bgneal@0: 
bgneal@0:                                                          *'g:ctrlp_dont_split'*
bgneal@0: When opening a file with <cr>, |CtrlP| avoids opening it in windows created by
bgneal@0: plugins, help and quickfix. Use this to setup some exceptions: >
bgneal@0:   let g:ctrlp_dont_split = ''
bgneal@0: <
bgneal@0: Acceptable values are partial names or filetypes of the special buffers. Use
bgneal@0: |regexp| to specify the pattern. Example: >

bgneal@0: 5. Input Formats                                          *ctrlp-input-formats*
bgneal@0: 
bgneal@0: Formats for inputting in the prompt:~
bgneal@0: 
bgneal@0: a)  Simple string.
bgneal@0:     e.g. 'abc' is understood internally as 'a[^a]\{-}b[^b]\{-}c'
bgneal@0: 
bgneal@0: b)  Vim |regexp|. If the input string contains '*' or '|', it’ll be treated as
bgneal@0:     a Vim’s |regexp| |pattern| without any modification.
bgneal@0:     e.g. 'abc\d*efg' will be read as 'abc\d*efg'.
bgneal@0: 
bgneal@0:     See also |ctrlp-fullregexp| (key map) and |g:ctrlp_regexp_search| (option).
bgneal@0: 
bgneal@0: c)  End the string with a colon ':' followed by a Vim command to execute that
bgneal@0:     command after opening the file. If you need to use ':' in the command,
bgneal@0:     escape it with a backslash: '\:'.
bgneal@0:     e.g. 'abc:45' will open the selected file and jump to line 45.
bgneal@0:          'abc:/my\:function' will open the selected file and jump to the first
bgneal@0:          instance of 'my:function'.
bgneal@0:          'abc:+setf\ myfiletype|50' will open the selected file and set its
bgneal@0:          filetype to 'myfiletype' then jump to line 50.
bgneal@0: 
bgneal@0:     See also Vim’s |++opt| and |+cmd|.
bgneal@0: 
bgneal@0: d)  Type exactly two dots '..' at the start of the prompt and press enter to go
bgneal@0:     backward in the directory tree by 1 level. If the parent directory is
bgneal@0:     large, this might be slow.
bgneal@0: 
bgneal@3: e)  Similarly, submit '/' or '\' to find and go to the project’s root. If the
bgneal@0:     project is large, using a VCS listing command to look for files might help
bgneal@0:     speeding up the intial scan (see |g:ctrlp_user_command| for more details).
bgneal@0: 
bgneal@0: f)  Type the name of a non-existent file and press <c-y> to create it.
bgneal@0:     e.g. 'parentdir/file.txt' will create a directory named 'parentdir' as well
bgneal@0:          as 'file.txt'.
bgneal@0:          Use '\' in place of '/' on Windows (if |'ssl'| is not set).
bgneal@0: 
bgneal@0: g)  Submit ? to open this help file.

bgneal@0: 
bgneal@0: Extending |CtrlP| is very simple. Simply create a vim file following a short
bgneal@0: guidelines, place it in autoload/ctrlp/ and add its name to your .vimrc.
bgneal@0: 
bgneal@0: To see how it works, get the sample.vim from the extensions branch on the main
bgneal@0: git repository (https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim/tree/extensions), and place
bgneal@0: it along with the parent directories somewhere in your runtimepath. Then put
bgneal@0: this into your .vimrc: >
bgneal@0:   let g:ctrlp_extensions = ['sample']
bgneal@0: <

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