# ctrlp.vim
Full path fuzzy __file__, __buffer__ and __MRU__ file finder for Vim.
* Written in pure Vimscript for MacVim and Vim 7.0+.
* Has full support for Vims regexp as search pattern.
* Can also find file in most recently used files.
![ctrlp][1]
## Basic Usage
* Press `<c-p>` or run `:CtrlP` to invoke CtrlP.
Once CtrlP is open:
* Press `<c-f>` and `<c-b>` to switch between find file, buffer, and MRU file modes.
* Press `<c-d>` to switch to filename only search instead of full path.
* Use `*` or `|` in the prompt to submit the string as a Vims regexp pattern.
* Or press `<c-r>` to switch to full regexp search mode.
* End the input string with a colon `:` followed by a command to execute after opening the file.
e.g. `abc:45` will open the file matched the pattern and jump to line 45.
* Submit two dots `..` as the input string to go backward the directory tree by 1 level.
* Use `<c-y>` to create a new file and its parent dirs.
## Basic Options
* Change the mapping to invoke CtrlP:
```vim
let g:ctrlp_map = '<c-p>'
```
* When CtrlP is invoked, it automatically sets the working directory according to this variable:
```vim
let g:ctrlp_working_path_mode = 1
```
0 - dont 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)
```
* Enable/Disable Most Recently Used files monitoring and its functionalities:
```vim
let g:ctrlp_mru_files = 1
```
* If you want to exclude directories or files from the search, you can use the Vims option `wildignore`.
e.g. Just have something like this in your vimrc:
```vim
set wildignore+=*/.git/*,*/.hg/*,*/.svn/* " for Linux/MacOSX
set wildignore+=.git\*,.hg\*,.svn\* " for Windows
```
