Plugin ctrlp
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
ctrlp is a magical Vim plugin for finding files quickly. It lets you
"fuzzy find" files, which you'll be familiar with if you use Sublime a
lot. Basically, you can type a subset of the letters in a file's name,
and the plugin will be smart enough to figure it out.

(<-- prev step) ... (next step -->)

Note, development of this project has moved locations to ctrlpvim/ctrlp.vim.

I didn't have time to cover this extensively in my talk, but it's actually really cool. To use:

From within normal mode, press Ctrl + P, and start typing. You'll see that a list of all files in this subdirectory are getting filtered as you type, and you only have to type a few characters to bring up the file that you need. In a huge project directory, this is a huge time saver!

Press Enter to open the file, or Ctrl +T to open in a new tab.

For more about the cool features ctrlp supports, read the docs!

You should mention the silver searcher with this plugin to get a huge search speedup

Unite.vim is also a good alternative to ctrlp, comes packed with even more features.

Agree. Unite.vim is one stop solution for which replaces many vim plugins with a unified interface and keybindings.

kien/ctrlp.vim is no longer maintained. It recommends using ctrlpvim/ctrlp.vim
