Changelog
---------
Please see the [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/Yggdroot/LeaderF/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) for a release history.

Extensions
----------
A list of community extensions can be found in the [Extensions](https://github.com/Yggdroot/LeaderF/wiki/Extensions) wiki.
Screenshots
-----------
![Popup Mode][1]
![And Mode][2]
Requirements
------------
- vim7.3 or higher. Only support 7.4.1126+ after [v1.01](https://github.com/Yggdroot/LeaderF/releases/tag/v1.01).
- Python2.7+ or Python3.1+.
- To use the popup mode, neovim 0.5.0+ or vim 8.1.1615+ are required.
Installation
------------
For [vim-plug][5] user:
```vim
Plug 'Yggdroot/LeaderF', { 'do': ':LeaderfInstallCExtension' }
```
Performance
-----------
LeaderF is already very fast. If you'd like better performance, install the C extension of the fuzzy matching algorithm, which is more than 10 times faster.
To install the C extension, firstly, make sure `python2` and/or `python3` commands are available on Linux/Unix/MacOS and `py -2` and/or `py -3` commands are available on Windows.
- Install the C extension
```vim
:LeaderfInstallCExtension
```
There may be some errors during the installation, please google the error messages to resolve it.
For example, `"error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat"`, you can turn to [here][6] for help.
- Uninstall the C extension
```vim
:LeaderfUninstallCExtension
```
After running any command of LeaderF, check the value of `echo g:Lf_fuzzyEngine_C`, if the value is 1, it means the C extension is loaded sucessfully.

use `:Leaderf -h` to get specific help of subcommand, e.g., `:Leaderf rg -h`.
Once LeaderF is launched:

Input formats:
* In **NameOnly** mode (*fuzzy mode*)
If the first character you input is `';'`, then the searching will be the same as in **FullPath** mode.
If you input string as `'abc;def'`, then `'abc'` will match the file name and `'def'` will match the directory name.
* In **FullPath** mode (*fuzzy mode*)
Same as in **NameOnly** mode except that the pattern will match the full path but not the file name only.
* In **Regexp** mode
The input string is the same as the Vim's regexp.
Smart Case:
* If the characters in search pattern are all lowercase, the matching is case-insensitive. If the search pattern contains uppercase characters, all lowercase characters still are matched case-insensitively, the uppercase characters can only match upper case. So uppercase characters can speed up the narrowing down of the searching result.
e.g., input `abcDef`，it can match the following strings:
```
abcDef
AbcDef
abcDEf
aBcDeF
```
but can not match the strings such as:
```
abcdef
Abcdef
```
Note: `abc` and `ef` are still case-insensitive.
And operator:
* In fuzzy mode, using `' '`(space) as the **and** operator, the candidate lines should fuzzily match all the substrings separated by space.
e.g., input `abc def gh`，it can match the following strings:
```
...a.b.c...d.e.f...g.h...
...a.b.c...g.h...d.e.f...
...a.d..e.g.b.c...h..f...
...gh...def...abc...
```
Popup Mode
----------
Popup Mode is to open LeaderF in a popup window(vim 8.1.1615+) or floating window(nvim 0.4.2+).
To enable popup mode:
```vim
let g:Lf_WindowPosition = 'popup'
```
or add `--popup` after each subcommand, e.g.,
```
Leaderf file --popup
```
Customization
-------------
* Change key bindings
By default, `` and `` are used to recall last/next input pattern from history. If you want to use them to navigate the result list just like `` and `` :
`let g:Lf_CommandMap = {'': [''], '': ['']}`
for more detail, please refer to `:h g:Lf_CommandMap`.
* Change the colors used in LeaderF
```vim
let g:Lf_PopupPalette = {
\ 'light': {
\ 'Lf_hl_match': {
\ 'gui': 'NONE',
\ 'font': 'NONE',
\ 'guifg': 'NONE',
\ 'guibg': '#303136',
\ 'cterm': 'NONE',
\ 'ctermfg': 'NONE',
\ 'ctermbg': '236'
\ },
\ 'Lf_hl_cursorline': {
\ 'gui': 'NONE',
\ 'font': 'NONE',
\ 'guifg': 'NONE',
\ 'guibg': '#303136',
\ 'cterm': 'NONE',
\ 'ctermfg': 'NONE',
\ 'ctermbg': '236'
\ },
\ },
\ 'dark': {
\ ...
\ ...
\ }
\ }
```
All the highlight groups supported are defined in
[LeaderF/autoload/leaderf/colorscheme/popup/default.vim](https://github.com/Yggdroot/LeaderF/blob/master/autoload/leaderf/colorscheme/popup/default.vim).
* Change the default mapping of searching files command
e.g. `let g:Lf_ShortcutF = ''`
* Show icons (should install fonts from https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts)
Support commands: buffer,file,mru,window
```vim
" Show icons, icons are shown by default
let g:Lf_ShowDevIcons = 1
" For GUI vim, the icon font can be specify like this, for example
let g:Lf_DevIconsFont = "DroidSansM Nerd Font Mono"
" If needs
set ambiwidth=double
```
