|
|
|
![ctrlp][1]
|
|
|
|
## 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 `<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.
|
|
* Press `<F5>` to purge the cache for the current directory and get new files.
|
|
* 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 `:difft` when opening multiple files to run `:difft` on the first 4 files.
|
|
|
|
## Basic Options
|
|
* Change the default mapping and the default command to invoke CtrlP:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:ctrlp_working_path_mode = 2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
0 - don't manage working directory.
|
|
1 - the directory of the current file.
|
|
2 - the nearest ancestor that contains one of these directories or files:
|
|
`.git` `.hg` `.svn` `.bzr` `_darcs`
|
|
|
|
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`:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
set wildignore+=*/tmp/*,*.so,*.swp,*.zip " MacOSX/Linux
|
|
set wildignore+=tmp\*,*.swp,*.zip,*.exe " Windows
|
|
|
|
let g:ctrlp_custom_ignore = '\.git$\|\.hg$\|\.svn$'
|
|
let g:ctrlp_custom_ignore = {
|
|
\ 'dir': '\.git$\|\.hg$\|\.svn$',
|
|
\ 'file': '\.exe$\|\.so$\|\.dll$',
|
|
\ 'link': 'some_bad_symbolic_links',
|
|
\ }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Use a custom file listing command:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
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.

## FAQs
|
|
__Q:__ Why aren't recently created files listed?
|
|
__Q:__ Why do ignored files show up in the results?
|
|
__A:__ After changing some options like `wildignore, g:ctrlp_custom_ignore, g:ctrlp_max_files, ...`, or having
|
|
new files added to the relevant working directory independently of CtrlP, you need to clear the old cache by
|
|
pressing `<F5>` in the prompt, or if you want to be sure, run `:CtrlPClearAllCaches` from Vim's command line.
|
|
|
|
__Q:__ How to open the selected file in a new split or in a new tab?
|
|
__Q:__ How to _always_ open the selected file in a new split or in a new tab with `<cr>`?
|
|
__Q:__ How to use _this_ key to do _that_ action in the prompt?
|
|
__A:__ Take a look at `:help ctrlp-mappings` and the corresponding option `:help g:ctrlp_prompt_mappings`.
|
|
|
|
__Q:__ Instead of `:lcd` into a parent directory, typing `..`, `...`, `../../`, etc just shows the files or
|
|
directories containing dots in its name, is this a known bug on Windows/Linux/MacOSX?
|
|
__A:__ Just press `<cr>` to submit the dots.
|
|
|
|
__Q:__ Why are some deep directories/files under the current working directory not being indexed?
|
|
__A:__ This is most likely because one or both of the limits set by `g:ctrlp_max_files` and `g:ctrlp_max_depth`
|
|
have been reached.
|
|
|
|
Invest a few minutes to skim through the documentation at `:help ctrlp.txt`. If you can't find the answer to
|
|
your question there nor in the old issues here on Github, open a new issue and let me know. For a bug report,
|
|
make sure to include some informations like steps to reproduce and any related configurations.
