![ctrlp][1]
## Basic Usage
* Press `<c-p>` or run `:CtrlP` to invoke CtrlP in find file mode.
* Or run `:CtrlPBuffer` or `:CtrlPMRU` to invoke CtrlP in buffer or MRU mode.
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 Vims regexp pattern.
* Or press `<c-r>` to switch to regexp 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/unmark 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 = 2
```
0 - dont 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
* If you want to exclude directories or files from the search, you can use the Vims option `wildignore`
and/or the option `g:ctrlp_custom_ignore`.
Examples:
```vim
set wildignore+=*/.git/*,*/.hg/*,*/.svn/* " for Linux/MacOSX
set wildignore+=.git\*,.hg\*,.svn\* " for Windows
let g:ctrlp_custom_ignore = '\.git$\|\.hg$\|\.svn$'
let g:ctrlp_custom_ignore = {
\ 'dir': '\.git$\|\.hg$\|\.svn$',
\ 'file': '\.exe$\|\.so$\|\.dll$',
\ 'link': 'bad_symbolic_link',
\ }
```
* Use a custom file listing command with:
```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
```
