About

  • Full path fuzzy file finder with an intuitive interface.
  • Has full support for Vims regexp as search pattern, and more.
  • Written in pure Vimscript for MacVim and Vim 7.0+.

ctrlp

Basic Usage

  • Press <c-p> or run :CtrlP to invoke CtrlP.
  • Ever remember only a files name but not where it is? Press <c-d> while CtrlP is open to switch to filename only search. Press <c-d> again to switch back to full path search.
  • Use * ? ^ + or | in the prompt to submit the string as a Vims regexp pattern. Or press <c-r> to switch to full regexp 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.
  • Press <c-f> to toggle find buffer mode/find file mode while CtrlP is open. Run :CtrlPBuffer to start CtrlP in find buffer mode.

Screenshot: filename only mode with the match window focused.
ctrlp filename mode, match window focused

Basic Options

  • Change the mapping to invoke CtrlP:
    let g:ctrlp_map = '<c-p>'
    
  • When starting up CtrlP, it automatically sets the working directory to:
    let g:ctrlp_working_path_mode = 1
    
    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 0 - dont manage working directory.
  • 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 or 0):
    au BufEnter * cal ctrlp#SetWorkingPath(2)
