# ctrlp.vim
|
||
Full path fuzzy __file__, __buffer__ and __MRU__ file finder for Vim.
|
||
|
||
* Written in pure Vimscript for MacVim and Vim 7.0+.
|
||
* Full support for Vim’s regexp as search pattern.
|
||
* Built-in Most Recently Used (MRU) files monitoring.
|
||
* Built-in project’s root finder.
|
||
|
||
![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 Vim’s 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.
|
||
* Use `<c-z>` to mark multiple files and `<c-o>` to open them.
|
||
|
||
## 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 - 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)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
* 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 Vim’s 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
|
||
```
