Kien N 1c05a664b1 Map some characters in the extended ASCII range
Rewrite the mapping functions and add basic support for typing accented
characters with press-and-hold type modifier keys and with keyboards
that include accented characters on their own keys.

Note that using dead keys is not possible due to the required small
timeoutlen (0).

ctrlp

Basic Usage

  • Run :CtrlP or :CtrlP [starting-directory] to invoke CtrlP in find file mode.
  • Run :CtrlPBuffer or :CtrlPMRU to invoke CtrlP in find buffer or find MRU file mode.
  • Run :CtrlPMixed to search in Files, Buffers and MRU files at the same time.

Check :help ctrlp-commands and :help ctrlp-extensions for other commands.

Once CtrlP is open:
  • Press <F5> to purge the cache for the current directory to get new files, remove deleted files and apply new ignore options.
  • Press <c-f> and <c-b> to cycle between modes.
  • Press <c-d> to switch to filename only search instead of full path.
  • Press <c-r> to switch to regexp mode.
  • Use <c-n>, <c-p> to select the next/previous string in the prompt's history.
  • Use <c-y> to create a new file and its parent directories.
  • Use <c-z> to mark/unmark multiple files and <c-o> to open them.

Run :help ctrlp-mappings or submit ? in CtrlP for more mapping help.

  • Submit two or more dots .. to go up the directory tree by one or multiple levels.
  • End the input string with a colon : followed by a command to execute it on the opening file(s):
    Use :25 to jump to line 25.
    Use :/any\:\ string to jump to the first instance of any: string.
    Use :+setfiletype\ myfiletype|25 to set the filetype to myfiletype, then jump to line 25.
    Use :diffthis when opening multiple files to run :diffthis on the first 4 files.

Basic Options

  • Change the default mapping and the default command to invoke CtrlP:

    let g:ctrlp_map = '<c-p>'
    let g:ctrlp_cmd = 'CtrlP'
    
  • When invoked, unless a starting directory is specified, CtrlP will set its local working directory according to this variable:

    let g:ctrlp_working_path_mode = 'rc'
    

    'c' - the directory of the current file.
    'r' - the nearest ancestor that contains one of these directories or files: .git .hg .svn .bzr _darcs
    0 or '' (empty string) - don't manage working directory.

    Define additional root markers with the g:ctrlp_root_markers option.

  • Exclude files and directories using Vim's wildignore and CtrlP's own g:ctrlp_custom_ignore:

    set wildignore+=*/tmp/*,*.so,*.swp,*.zip     " MacOSX/Linux
    set wildignore+=*\\tmp\\*,*.swp,*.zip,*.exe  " Windows
    
    let g:ctrlp_custom_ignore = '\v[\/](\.git|\.hg|\.svn)$'
    let g:ctrlp_custom_ignore = {
      \ 'dir':  '\v[\/](\.git|\.hg|\.svn)$',
      \ 'file': '\.exe$\|\.so$\|\.dll$',
      \ 'link': 'some_bad_symbolic_links',
      \ }
    
  • Use a custom file listing command:

    let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'find %s -type f'        " MacOSX/Linux
    let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'dir %s /-n /b /s /a-d'  " Windows
    

Check :help ctrlp-options for other options.
