# ctrlp.vim
Full path fuzzy file and buffer finder for Vim.

* Written in pure Vimscript for MacVim and Vim 7.0+.
* Has full support for Vim’s regexp as search pattern, and more.

![ctrlp][1]

## Basic Usage
* Press `<c-p>` or run `:CtrlP` to invoke CtrlP.
* Press `<c-f>` while CtrlP is open to toggle between find buffer mode and find file mode.
* Ever remember only a file’s name but not where it is? Press `<c-d>` while CtrlP is open to switch to filename only search.
* Use `*` `?` `^` `+` or `|` in the prompt to submit the string as a Vim’s regexp pattern.
* Or press `<c-r>` while CtrlP is open to switch to full regexp search mode.
* 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 and jump to line 45.

## Basic Options
* Change the mapping to invoke CtrlP:

    ```vim
    let g:ctrlp_map = '<c-p>'
    ```

* When starting up CtrlP, it automatically sets the working directory according
to this variable:  

    ```vim
    let g:ctrlp_working_path_mode = 1
    ```

    0 - don’t manage working directory.  
    1 - the parent directory of the current file.  
    2 - the nearest ancestor that contains one of these directories or files:  

        .git/
        .hg/
        .bzr/
        _darcs/
        root.dir
        .vimprojects

* You can also use the set-working-directory functionality above outside of CtrlP
by adding the following line to your vimrc.  
The parameter is the same (0, 1 or 2):

    ```vim
    au BufEnter * cal ctrlp#SetWorkingPath(2)
    ```
