# ctrlp.vim
Full path fuzzy __file__, __buffer__, __mru__, __tag__, __...__ finder for Vim.
* Written in pure Vimscript for MacVim, gVim and Vim 7.0+.
* Full support for Vim's regexp as search patterns.
* Built-in Most Recently Used (MRU) files monitoring.
* Built-in project's root finder.
* Open multiple files at once.
* Create new files and directories.
* [Extensible][2].
![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 `` to purge the cache for the current directory to get new files, remove deleted files and apply new ignore options.
* Press `` and `` to cycle between modes.
* Press `` to switch to filename only search instead of full path.
* Press `` to switch to regexp mode.
* Use ``, `` or the arrow keys to navigate the result list.
* Use `` or ``, `` to open the selected entry in a new tab or in a new split.
* Use ``, `` to select the next/previous string in the prompt's history.
* Use `` to create a new file and its parent directories.
* Use `` to mark/unmark multiple files and `` 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 `: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 = ''
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 = 'ra'
```
`'c'` - the directory of the current file.
`'r'` - the nearest ancestor that contains one of these directories or files: `.git` `.hg` `.svn` `.bzr` `_darcs`
`'a'` - like c, but only if the current working directory outside of CtrlP is not a direct ancestor of the directory of the current file.
`0` or `''` (empty string) - disable this feature.
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': '\v\.(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.
