The vim plugin ctrl p only works for me into git repo.
Why does it need a .git file?
Be work i mean it is searching my entire machine when no .git file is found.
my settings
let g:ctrlp_working_path_mode = 'ra'
let g:ctrlp_match_window = 'top,order:ttb,min:1,max:30,results:30'
let g:ctrlp_custom_ignore = 'node_modules\|vendor/|DS_Store\|git'
set wildignore+=*/.git/*,*/.hg/*,*/.svn/*,*/.idea/*,*/.DS_Store,*/vendor
Also tried:
let g:ctrlp_working_path_mode = 'r'
let g:ctrlp_working_path_mode = 'c'
I'm not entirely sure what you are after, it sounds like you want ctrlp to pick up all files system wide and not just the "project" root directory.
The g:ctrlp_working_path_mode
flags you set would either tell ctrlp c
- only show me files from current loaded buffers directory including subdirectories, or r
the first project
root directory as identified with some sort of hidden repository directory like .git
. Neither of which suggests what I think you are asking for...
So I'll go out of a limb and suggest that you can probably update the global variable:
let g:ctrlp_cmd = 'CtrlP /'
To look for all files, on a linux system. As detailed in the reader:
Run :CtrlP or :CtrlP [starting-directory] to invoke CtrlP in find file mode.
Or test the above with CtrlP /
in command mode first.
Again, I've guessed what you wanted here...
