INTRO *ctrlp-intro*
Full path fuzzy file, buffer, mru and tag finder with an intuitive interface.
Written in pure Vimscript for MacVim and Vim version 7.0+. Has full support for
Vim’s |regexp| as search pattern, built-in MRU files monitoring, project’s root
finder, and more.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detailed descriptions and default values:~
*'g:ctrlp_map'*
Use this option to change the mapping to invoke CtrlP in |Normal| mode: >
let g:ctrlp_map = '<c-p>'
<
*'g:ctrlp_cmd'*
Set the default opening command to use when pressing the above mapping: >
let g:ctrlp_cmd = 'CtrlP'
<
*'g:loaded_ctrlp'*
Use this to disable the plugin completely: >
let g:loaded_ctrlp = 1
<
*'g:ctrlp_by_filename'*
Set this to 1 to set searching by filename (as opposed to full path) as the
default: >
let g:ctrlp_by_filename = 0
<
Can be toggled on/off by pressing <c-d> inside the prompt.
*'g:ctrlp_regexp'*
Set this to 1 to set regexp search as the default: >
let g:ctrlp_regexp = 0
<
Can be toggled on/off by pressing <c-r> inside the prompt.
*'g:ctrlp_match_window_bottom'*
Set this to 0 to show the match window at the top of the screen: >
let g:ctrlp_match_window_bottom = 1
<
*'g:ctrlp_match_window_reversed'*
Change the listing order of the files in the match window. The default setting
(1) is from bottom to top: >
let g:ctrlp_match_window_reversed = 1
<
*'g:ctrlp_max_height'*
Set the maximum height of the match window: >
let g:ctrlp_max_height = 10
<
*'g:ctrlp_switch_buffer'*
When opening a file with <cr> or <c-t>, if the file’s already opened somewhere
CtrlP will try to jump to it instead of opening a new instance: >
let g:ctrlp_switch_buffer = 2
<
1 - only jump to the buffer if it’s opened in the current tab.
2 - jump tab as well if the buffer’s opened in another tab.
0 - disable this feature.
*'g:ctrlp_reuse_window'*
When opening a file with <cr>, CtrlP avoids opening it in windows created by
plugins, help and quickfix. Use this to setup some exceptions: >
let g:ctrlp_reuse_window = 'netrw'
<
Acceptable values are partial name, filetype or buftype of the special buffers.
Use regexp to specify the pattern.
Example: >
let g:ctrlp_reuse_window = 'netrw\|help\|quickfix'
<
*'g:ctrlp_working_path_mode'*
When starting up, CtrlP sets its local working directory according to this
variable: >
let g:ctrlp_working_path_mode = 2
<
1 - the parent directory of the current file.
2 - the nearest ancestor that contains one of these directories or files:
.git/ .hg/ .svn/ .bzr/ _darcs/
0 - don’t manage working directory.
Note: you can use b:ctrlp_working_path_mode (a |b:var|) to set this option on a
per buffer basis.
*'g:ctrlp_root_markers'*
Use this to set your own root markers in addition to the default ones (.git/,
.hg/, .svn/, .bzr/, and _darcs/). Your markers will take precedence: >
let g:ctrlp_root_markers = ['']
<
*'g:ctrlp_use_caching'*
Set this to 0 to disable per-session caching. When disabled, caching will still
be enabled for directories that have more than 4000 files: >
let g:ctrlp_use_caching = 1
<
Note: you can quickly purge the cache by pressing <F5> while inside CtrlP.
*'g:ctrlp_clear_cache_on_exit'*
Set this to 0 to enable cross-session caching by not deleting the cache files
upon exiting Vim: >
let g:ctrlp_clear_cache_on_exit = 1
<
*'g:ctrlp_cache_dir'*
Set the directory to store the cache files: >
let g:ctrlp_cache_dir = $HOME.'/.cache/ctrlp'
<
*'g:ctrlp_dotfiles'*
Set this to 0 if you don’t want CtrlP to scan for dotfiles and dotdirs: >
let g:ctrlp_dotfiles = 1
<
You can use |'wildignore'| to exclude anything from the search.
Examples: >
" Excluding version control directories
set wildignore+=*/.git/*,*/.hg/*,*/.svn/* " Linux/MacOSX
set wildignore+=.git\*,.hg\*,.svn\* " Windows
<
Note #1: the `*/` in front of each directory glob is required.
Note #2: |wildignore| influences the result of |expand()|, |globpath()| and
|glob()| which many plugins use to find stuff on the system (e.g. VCS related
plugins look for .git/, .hg/,... some other plugins look for external *.exe
tools on Windows). So be a little mindful of what you put in your |wildignore|.
*'g:ctrlp_custom_ignore'*
In addition to |'wildignore'|, use this for files and directories you want only
CtrlP to not show. Use regexp to specify the patterns: >
let g:ctrlp_custom_ignore = ''
<
Examples: >
let g:ctrlp_custom_ignore = '\.git$\|\.hg$\|\.svn$'
let g:ctrlp_custom_ignore = {
\ 'dir': '\.git$\|\.hg$\|\.svn$',
\ 'file': '\.exe$\|\.so$\|\.dll$',
\ 'link': 'SOME_BAD_SYMBOLIC_LINKS',
\ }
<
Note: ignoring only works when |globpath()| is used to scan for files.
*'g:ctrlp_max_files'*
The maximum number of files to scan, set to 0 for no limit: >
let g:ctrlp_max_files = 10000
<
*'g:ctrlp_max_depth'*
The maximum depth of a directory tree to recurse into: >
let g:ctrlp_max_depth = 40
<
Note: the larger these values, the more memory Vim uses.
*'g:ctrlp_user_command'*
Specify an external tool to use for listing files instead of using Vim’s
|globpath()|. Use %s in place of the target directory: >
let g:ctrlp_user_command = ''
<
Examples: >
let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'find %s -type f' " MacOSX/Linux
let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'dir %s /-n /b /s /a-d' " Windows
<
You can also use 'grep', 'findstr' or something else to filter the results.
Examples: >
let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'find %s -type f | grep (?!tmp/.*)'
let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'dir %s /-n /b /s /a-d | findstr .*\.py$'
<
Use a version control listing command when inside a repository, this is faster
when scanning large projects: >
let g:ctrlp_user_command = [root_marker, listing_command, fallback_command]
let g:ctrlp_user_command = {
\ 'types': {
\ 1: [root_marker_1, listing_command_1],
\ n: [root_marker_n, listing_command_n],
\ },
\ 'fallback': fallback_command
\ }
<
Examples: >
let g:ctrlp_user_command = ['.git/', 'cd %s && git ls-files']
let g:ctrlp_user_command = ['.hg/', 'hg --cwd %s locate -I .']
let g:ctrlp_user_command = {
\ 'types': {
\ 1: ['.git/', 'cd %s && git ls-files'],
\ 2: ['.hg/', 'hg --cwd %s locate -I .'],
\ },
\ 'fallback': 'find %s -type f'
\ }
<
If the fallback_command is empty or not defined, |globpath()| will then be used
when searching outside a repo.
*'g:ctrlp_max_history'*
The maximum number of input strings you want CtrlP to remember. The default
value mirrors Vim’s global |'history'| option: >
let g:ctrlp_max_history = &history
<
Set to 0 to disable prompt’s history. Browse the history with <c-n> and <c-p>.
*'g:ctrlp_open_new_file'*
Use this option to specify how the newly created file is to be opened when
pressing <c-y>:
t - in a new tab
h - in a new horizontal split
v - in a new vertical split
r - in the current window
>
let g:ctrlp_open_new_file = 'v'
<
*'g:ctrlp_open_multiple_files'*
If non-zero, this will enable opening multiple files with <c-z> and <c-o>: >
let g:ctrlp_open_multiple_files = 'v'
<
Example: >
let g:ctrlp_open_multiple_files = '2vr'
<
For the number:
- If given, it’ll be used as the maximum number of windows or tabs to create
when opening the files (the rest will be opened as hidden buffers).
- If not given, <c-o> will open all files, each in a new window or new tab.
For the letters:
t - each file in a new tab.
h - each file in a new horizontal split.
v - each file in a new vertical split.
Reuse the current window:
tr,
hr,
vr - open the first file in the current window, then the remaining files in
new splits or new tabs just like with t, h, v.
*'g:ctrlp_arg_map'*
When this is set to 1, the <c-o> and <c-y> mappings will accept one extra key
as an argument to override their default behavior: >
let g:ctrlp_arg_map = 0
<
Pressing <c-o> or <c-y> will then prompt for a keypress. The key can be:
t - open in tab(s)
h - open in horizontal split(s)
v - open in vertical split(s)
r - open in current window (for <c-y> only)
<esc>, <c-c> - cancel and go back to the prompt.
Any other key - use the behavior specified with |g:ctrlp_open_new_file| and
|g:ctrlp_open_multiple_files|.
*'g:ctrlp_follow_symlinks'*
Set this to 1 to follow symbolic links when listing files: >
let g:ctrlp_follow_symlinks = 0
<
When enabled, looped internal symlinks will be ignored to avoid duplicates.
*'g:ctrlp_lazy_update'*
Set this to 1 to enable the lazy-update feature: only update the match window
after typing’s been stopped for a certain amount of time: >
let g:ctrlp_lazy_update = 0
<
If is 1, update after 250ms. If bigger than 1, the number will be used as the
delay time in milliseconds.
*'g:ctrlp_default_input'*
Set this to 1 to enable seeding the prompt with the current file’s relative
path: >
let g:ctrlp_default_input = 0
<
*'g:ctrlp_use_migemo'*
Set this to 1 to use Migemo Pattern for Japanese filenames. Migemo Search only
works in regexp mode. To split the pattern, separate words with space: >
let g:ctrlp_use_migemo = 0
<
*'g:ctrlp_prompt_mappings'*
Use this to customize the mappings inside CtrlP’s prompt to your liking. You
only need to keep the lines that you’ve changed the values (inside []): >
let g:ctrlp_prompt_mappings = {
\ 'PrtBS()': ['<bs>', '<c-]>'],
\ 'PrtDelete()': ['<del>'],
\ 'PrtDeleteWord()': ['<c-w>'],
\ 'PrtClear()': ['<c-u>'],
\ 'PrtSelectMove("j")': ['<c-j>', '<down>'],
\ 'PrtSelectMove("k")': ['<c-k>', '<up>'],
\ 'PrtSelectMove("t")': ['<Home>', '<kHome>'],
\ 'PrtSelectMove("b")': ['<End>', '<kEnd>'],
\ 'PrtSelectMove("u")': ['<PageUp>', '<kPageUp>'],
\ 'PrtSelectMove("d")': ['<PageDown>', '<kPageDown>'],
\ 'PrtHistory(-1)': ['<c-n>'],
\ 'PrtHistory(1)': ['<c-p>'],
\ 'AcceptSelection("e")': ['<cr>', '<2-LeftMouse>'],
\ 'AcceptSelection("h")': ['<c-x>', '<c-cr>', '<c-s>'],
\ 'AcceptSelection("t")': ['<c-t>'],
\ 'AcceptSelection("v")': ['<c-v>', '<RightMouse>'],
\ 'ToggleFocus()': ['<s-tab>'],
\ 'ToggleRegex()': ['<c-r>'],
\ 'ToggleByFname()': ['<c-d>'],
\ 'ToggleType(1)': ['<c-f>', '<c-up>'],
\ 'ToggleType(-1)': ['<c-b>', '<c-down>'],
\ 'PrtExpandDir()': ['<tab>'],
\ 'PrtInsert("w")': ['<F2>', '<insert>'],
\ 'PrtInsert("s")': ['<F3>'],
\ 'PrtInsert("v")': ['<F4>'],
\ 'PrtInsert("+")': ['<F6>', '<MiddleMouse>'],
\ 'PrtCurStart()': ['<c-a>'],
\ 'PrtCurEnd()': ['<c-e>'],
\ 'PrtCurLeft()': ['<c-h>', '<left>', '<c-^>'],
\ 'PrtCurRight()': ['<c-l>', '<right>'],
\ 'PrtClearCache()': ['<F5>'],
\ 'PrtDeleteEnt()': ['<F7>'],
\ 'CreateNewFile()': ['<c-y>'],
\ 'MarkToOpen()': ['<c-z>'],
\ 'OpenMulti()': ['<c-o>'],
\ 'PrtExit()': ['<esc>', '<c-c>', '<c-g>'],
\ }
<
Note: In some terminals, it’s not possible to remap <c-h> without also changing
<bs> (|keycodes|). So if pressing <bs> moves the cursor to the left instead of
deleting a char for you, add this to your |.vimrc| to disable the plugin’s
default <c-h> mapping: >
let g:ctrlp_prompt_mappings = { 'PrtCurLeft()': ['<left>', '<c-^>'] }
<

a-z
0-9
~^-=;`',.+!@#$%&_(){}[]
Cycle through the lines with the first letter (of paths or filenames) that
matches that key.
===============================================================================
INPUT FORMATS *ctrlp-input-formats*
Formats for inputting in the prompt:~
a) Simple string.
E.g. 'abc' is understood internally as 'a[^a]\{-}b[^b]\{-}c'
b) When in regexp mode, the input string’s treated as a Vim’s regexp |pattern|
without any modification.
E.g. 'abc\d*efg' will be read as 'abc\d*efg'.
See |ctrlp-fullregexp| (keymap) and |g:ctrlp_regexp_search| (option) for
how to enable regexp mode.
c) End the string with a colon ':' followed by a Vim command to execute that
command after opening the file. If you need to use ':' literally, escape it
with a backslash: '\:'. When opening multiple files, the command will be
executed on each opening file.
E.g. 'abc:45' will open the selected file and jump to line 45.
'abc:/any\:string' will open the selected file and jump to the first
instance of 'any:string'.
'abc:+setf\ myfiletype|50' will open the selected file and set its
filetype to 'myfiletype', then jump to line 50.
'abc:diffthis' will open the selected files and run |:diffthis| on the
first 4 files (if marked).
See also Vim’s |++opt| and |+cmd|.
d) Type exactly two dots '..' at the start of the prompt and press enter to go
backward in the directory tree by 1 level. If the parent directory is
large, this might be slow.
e) Similarly, submit '/' or '\' to find and go to the project’s root. If the
project is large, using a VCS listing command to look for files might help
speeding up the intial scan (see |g:ctrlp_user_command| for more details).
Note: e) and d) only work in find file mode and directory mode.
f) Type the name of a non-existent file and press <c-y> to create it. Mark a
file with <c-z> to create the new file in the same directory as the marked
file.
E.g. 'parentdir/newfile.txt' will create a directory named 'parentdir' as
well as 'newfile.txt'.
If 'some/old/dirs/oldfile.txt' is marked with <c-z>, then 'parentdir'
and 'newfile.txt' will be created in 'some/old/dirs'. The final path
will then be 'some/old/dirs/parentdir/newfile.txt'.
Use '\' in place of '/' on Windows (if |'ssl'| is not set).
g) Submit ? to open this help file.

----------------------------------------
Buffer Tag mode options:~
*'g:ctrlp_buftag_ctags_bin'*
If ctags isn’t in your $PATH, use this to set its location: >
let g:ctrlp_buftag_ctags_bin = ''
<
*'g:ctrlp_buftag_systemenc'*
Match this with your OS’s encoding (not Vim’s). The default value mirrors Vim’s
global |'encoding'| option: >
let g:ctrlp_buftag_systemenc = &encoding
<
*'g:ctrlp_buftag_types'*
Use this to set the arguments for ctags, jsctags... for a given filetype: >
let g:ctrlp_buftag_types = ''
<
Examples: >
let g:ctrlp_buftag_types = {
\ 'erlang' : '--language-force=erlang --erlang-types=drmf',
\ 'javascript' : {
\ 'bin': 'jsctags',
\ 'args': '-f -',
\ },
\ }
