  • Built-in project's root finder.
  • Open multiple files at once.
  • Create new files and directories.
  • Extensible.

ctrlp

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 <F5> to purge the cache for the current directory to get new files, remove deleted files and apply new ignore options.
  • Press <c-f> and <c-b> to cycle between modes.
  • Press <c-d> to switch to filename only search instead of full path.
  • Press <c-r> to switch to regexp mode.
  • Use <c-j>, <c-k> or the arrow keys to navigate the result list.
  • Use <c-t> or <c-v>, <c-x> to open the selected entry in a new tab or in a new split.
  • Use <c-n>, <c-p> to select the next/previous string in the prompt's history.
  • Use <c-y> to create a new file and its parent directories.
  • Use <c-z> to mark/unmark multiple files and <c-o> 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:

    let g:ctrlp_map = '<c-p>'
    let g:ctrlp_cmd = 'CtrlP'
    
  • When invoked, unless a starting directory is specified, CtrlP will set 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) - 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:

    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:

    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.
