Full path fuzzy file finder with an intuitive interface. Written in pure
Vimscript. Has full support for Vims regexp as search pattern, and more.
![ctrlp][1]
![ctrlp file name mode, match window focused][2]
## Basic Usage
* Press `<c-p>` or run `:CtrlP` to invoke CtrlP.
* Use `*` `?` `^` `+` or `|` in the prompt to submit the string as a Vims
regexp pattern. Or press `<c-r>` to switch to full regexp mode.
* Ever remember only the file name but not where it is? Press `<c-d>` while in
the prompt to switch to file name only search. Press `<c-d>` again to switch
back to full path search.
* End the input string with a colon `:` followed by a number to jump to that
line in the selected file.
e.g. `abc:45` to open the file matched the pattern `abc` and jump to
line 45.

## Basic Options
* Change the mapping to invoke CtrlP with:
```vim
let g:ctrlp_map = '<c-p>'
```
* When starting up the prompt, automatically set the working directory to:
1 - the parent directory of the current file.
2 - the nearest ancestor that contains one of these directories/files:
.git/
.hg/
.bzr/
_darcs/
root.dir
.vimprojects
0 - dont manage working directory.
```vim
let g:ctrlp_working_path_mode = 1
```
* You can also use the set-working-directory functionality outside of CtrlP by
adding the following line to your vimrc; the parameter is the same (1, 2 and 0):
```vim
au BufEnter * cal ctrlp#SetWorkingPath(2)
```
Check the docs for more mappings and options.
