|
![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 `<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:
|
|
|
|
```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 = '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`:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```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.
