-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, if it's already opened in a window somewhere CtrlP will
try to jump to it instead of opening a new instance: >
let g:ctrlp_switch_buffer = 'Et'
<
e - jump when <cr> is pressed, but only to windows in the current tab.
t - jump when <c-t> is pressed, but only to windows in another tab.
v - like e, but jump when <c-v> is pressed.
h - like e, but jump when <c-x> is pressed.
E, T, V, H - like e, t, v and h respectively, but jump to windows anywhere.
0 or <empty-string> - 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_tabpage_position'*
Where to put the new tab page when opening one: >
let g:ctrlp_tabpage_position = 'ac'
<
a - after.
b - before.
c - the current tab page.
l - the last tab page.
f - the first tab page.
*'g:ctrlp_working_path_mode'*
When starting up, CtrlP sets its local working directory according to this
variable: >
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> - don't manage working directory.
Note #1: you can use b:ctrlp_working_path_mode (a |b:var|) to set this option
on a per buffer basis.
Note #2: with 'ra' or 'rc', use the behavior of a or c when a root isn't found.
*'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'*
Enable/Disable per-session caching: >
let g:ctrlp_use_caching = 1
<
0 - Disable caching.
1 - Enable caching.
n - When bigger than 1, disable caching and use the number as the limit to
enable caching again.
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 = $HOME.'/.cache/ctrlp'
<
*'g:ctrlp_dotfiles'*
Set this to 0 if you don't want CtrlP to scan for dotfiles and dotdirs: >
let g:ctrlp_dotfiles = 1
<
*'ctrlp-wildignore'*
You can use Vim's |'wildignore'| to exclude files and directories from the
results.
Examples: >
" Excluding version control directories
set wildignore+=*/.git/*,*/.hg/*,*/.svn/* " Linux/MacOSX
set wildignore+=*\\.git\\*,*\\.hg\\*,*\\.svn\\* " Windows ('noshellslash')
<
Note #1: the `*/` in front of each directory glob is required.
Note #2: |wildignore| influences the result of |expand()|, |globpath()| and
|glob()| which many plugins use to find stuff on the system (e.g. VCS related
plugins look for .git/, .hg/,... some other plugins look for external *.exe
tools on Windows). So be a little mindful of what you put in your |wildignore|.
*'g:ctrlp_custom_ignore'*
In addition to |'wildignore'|, use this for files and directories you want only
CtrlP to not show. Use regexp to specify the patterns: >
let g:ctrlp_custom_ignore = ''
<
Examples: >
let g:ctrlp_custom_ignore = '\v[\/](\.git|\.hg|\.svn)$'
let g:ctrlp_custom_ignore = {
\ 'dir': '\v[\/](\.git|\.hg|\.svn)$',
\ 'file': '\.exe$\|\.so$\|\.dll$',
\ 'link': 'SOME_BAD_SYMBOLIC_LINKS',
\ }
let g:ctrlp_custom_ignore = {
\ 'file': '\v(\.cpp|\.h|\.hh|\.cxx)@<!$'
\ }
<
Note #1: by default, |wildignore| and |g:ctrlp_custom_ignore| only apply when
|globpath()| is used to scan for files, thus these options do not apply when a
command defined with |g:ctrlp_user_command| is being used.
Note #2: when changing the option's variable type, remember to |:unlet| it
first or restart Vim to avoid the "E706: Variable type mismatch" error.
*'g:ctrlp_max_files'*
The maximum number of files to scan, set to 0 for no limit: >
let g:ctrlp_max_files = 10000
<
*'g:ctrlp_max_depth'*
The maximum depth of a directory tree to recurse into: >
let g:ctrlp_max_depth = 40
<
Note: the larger these values, the more memory Vim uses.
*'g:ctrlp_user_command'*
Specify an external tool to use for listing files instead of using Vim's
|globpath()|. Use %s in place of the target directory: >
let g:ctrlp_user_command = ''
<
Examples: >
let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'find %s -type f' " MacOSX/Linux
let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'dir %s /-n /b /s /a-d' " Windows
<
You can also use 'grep', 'findstr' or something else to filter the results.
Examples: >
let g:ctrlp_user_command =
\ 'find %s -type f | grep -v -P "\.jpg$|/tmp/"' " MacOSX/Linux
let g:ctrlp_user_command =
\ 'dir %s /-n /b /s /a-d | findstr /v /l ".jpg \\tmp\\"' " Windows
<
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,
\ 'ignore': 0 or 1
\ }
<
Some examples: >
" Single VCS, listing command does not list untracked files:
let g:ctrlp_user_command = ['.git', 'cd %s && git ls-files']
let g:ctrlp_user_command = ['.hg', 'hg --cwd %s locate -I .']
" Multiple VCS's:
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'
\ }
" Single VCS, listing command lists untracked files (slower):
let g:ctrlp_user_command =
\ ['.git', 'cd %s && git ls-files . -co --exclude-standard']
let g:ctrlp_user_command =
\ ['.hg', 'hg --cwd %s status -numac -I . $(hg root)'] " MacOSX/Linux
let g:ctrlp_user_command = ['.hg', 'for /f "tokens=1" %%a in (''hg root'') '
\ . 'do hg --cwd %s status -numac -I . %%a'] " Windows
<
Note #1: if the fallback_command is empty or not defined, |globpath()| will
then be used when searching outside a repo.
Note #2: unless the |Dictionary| format is used and 'ignore' is defined and set
to 1, the |wildignore| and |g:ctrlp_custom_ignore| options do not apply when
these custom commands are being used. When not defined, 'ignore' is set to 0 by
default to retain the performance advantage of using external commands.
Note #3: when changing the option's variable type, remember to |:unlet| it
first or restart Vim to avoid the "E706: Variable type mismatch" error.
*'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 = '2vjr'
<
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.
i - all files as hidden buffers.
j - after opening, jump to the first opened tab or window.
r - open the first file in the current window, then the remaining files in
new splits or new tabs depending on which of h, v and t is also present.
*'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)
i - open as hidden buffers (for <c-o> only)
c - clear the marked files (for <c-o> only)
r - open in the current window (for <c-y> only)
<esc>, <c-c>, <c-u> - cancel and go back to the prompt.
<cr> - use the default behavior specified with |g:ctrlp_open_new_file| and
|g:ctrlp_open_multiple_files|.
*'g:ctrlp_follow_symlinks'*
If non-zero, CtrlP will follow symbolic links when listing files: >
let g:ctrlp_follow_symlinks = 0
<
0 - don't follow symbolic links.
1 - follow but ignore looped internal symlinks to avoid duplicates.
2 - follow all symlinks indiscriminately.
*'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
<
Instead of 1 or 0, if the value of the option is a string, it'll be used as-is
as the default input: >
let g:ctrlp_default_input = 'anystring'
<
*'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("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("c")': ['<MiddleMouse>', '<insert>'],
\ 'PrtInsert()': ['<c-\>'],
\ '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: if pressing <bs> moves the cursor one character to the left instead of
deleting a character for you, add this to your |.vimrc| to disable the plugin's
default <c-h> mapping: >
let g:ctrlp_prompt_mappings = { 'PrtCurLeft()': ['<left>', '<c-^>'] }
<
----------------------------------------
MRU mode options:~
*'g:ctrlp_mruf_max'*
Specify the number of recently opened files you want CtrlP to remember: >
let g:ctrlp_mruf_max = 250
<
*'g:ctrlp_mruf_exclude'*
Files you don't want CtrlP to remember. Use regexp to specify the patterns: >
let g:ctrlp_mruf_exclude = ''

a-z
0-9
~^-=;`',.+!@#$%&_(){}[]
Cycle through the lines which have the matching first character.
===============================================================================
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. Use ':45' to jump to line 45.
Use ':/any\:string' to jump to the first instance of 'any:string'.
Use ':+setf\ myfiletype|50' to set the filetype to 'myfiletype', then
jump to line 50.
Use ':diffthis' when opening multiple files to run |:diffthis| on the
first 4 files.
See also: Vim's |++opt| and |+cmd|.
d) Submit two dots '..' to go upward the directory tree by 1 level. To go up
multiple levels, use one extra dot for each extra level:
>
Raw input Interpreted as
.. ../
... ../../
.... ../../../
<
Note: if the parent directories are large and uncached, this can be slow.
You can also use '@cd path/' to change CtrlP's local working directory.
Use '@cd %:h' to change to the directory of the current file.
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: d) and e) only work in file, directory and mixed modes.
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. Using 'newdir/newfile.txt' will create a directory named 'newdir' as
well as a file named 'newfile.txt'.
If an entry 'some/old/dirs/oldfile.txt' is marked with <c-z>, then
'newdir' and 'newfile.txt' will be created under 'some/old/dirs'. The
final path will then be 'some/old/dirs/newdir/newfile.txt'.
Note: use '\' in place of '/' on Windows (if |'shellslash'| is not set).
g) In filename mode (toggle with <c-d>), you can use one primary pattern and
one refining pattern separated by a semicolon. Both patterns work like (a),
or (b) when in regexp mode.
h) Submit ? to open this help file.
===============================================================================
EXTENSIONS *ctrlp-extensions*
Extensions are optional. To enable an extension, add its name to the variable
g:ctrlp_extensions: >
let g:ctrlp_extensions = ['tag', 'buffertag', 'quickfix', 'dir', 'rtscript',
\ 'undo', 'line', 'changes', 'mixed', 'bookmarkdir']
<
The order of the items will be the order they appear on the statusline and when
using <c-f>, <c-b>.
Available extensions:~
*:CtrlPTag*
* Tag mode:~
- Name: 'tag'
- Command: ':CtrlPTag'
- Search for a tag within a generated central tags file, and jump to the
