Just like you + don't usually need to see hidden dot files (files starting with a dot). + Local filter on the other hand is for temporary immediate filtering of + file list at hand, to get rid of uninterested files in the view or to + make it possible to use % range in a :command. + + For the purposes of more deterministic editing permanent filter is + split into two parts: + + - one edited explicitly via :filter command; + + - another one which is edited implicitly via zf shortcut. + + Files are tested against both parts and a match counts if at least one + of the parts matched. + + + Each file list has its own copy of each filter. + + Filtered files are not checked in / search or :commands. + + Files and directories are filtered separately. This is done by append- + ing a slash to a directory name before testing whether it matches the + filter. Examples: + + + " filter directories which names end with '.files' + :filter /^.*\.files\/$/ + + " filter files which names end with '.d' + :filter {*.d} + + " filter files and directories which names end with '.o' + :filter /^.*\.o\/?$/ + + Note: vifm uses extended regular expressions. + + The basic vim folding key bindings are used for managing filters. + + + za toggle visibility of dot files. + + zo show dot files. + + zm hide dot files. + + zf add selected files to permanent filter. + + zO reset permanent filter. + + zR save and reset all filters. + + zr clear local filter. + + zM restore all filters (undoes last zR). + + zd exclude selection or current file from a custom view. Does + nothing for regular view. For tree view excluding directory ex- + cludes that sub-tree. For compare views zd hides group of adja- + cent identical files, count can be specified as 1 to exclude + just single file or selected items instead. Files excluded this + way are not counted as filtered out and can't be returned unless + view is reloaded. + + =regular expression pattern + filter out files that don't match regular expression. Whether + view is updated as regular expression is changed depends on the + value of the 'incsearch' option. This kind of filter is auto- + matically reset when directory is changed. + +Other Normal Mode Keys + [count]: + enter command line mode.

Count is specified after register name. By default + commands use unnamed register, which has double quote as its name. + + Though all commands accept registers, most of commands ignores them + (for example H or Ctrl-U). Other commands can fill register or append + new files to it. + + Presently vifm supports ", _, a-z and A-Z characters as register names. + + As mentioned above " is unnamed register and has special meaning of the + default register. Every time when you use named registers (a-z and A- + Z) unnamed register is updated to contain same list of files as the + last used register. + + _ is black hole register. It can be used for writing, but its list is + always empty. + + Registers with names from a to z and from A to Z are named ones. Low- + ercase registers are cleared before adding new files, while uppercase + aren't and should be used to append new files to the existing file list + of appropriate lowercase register (A for a, B for b, ...). + + Registers can be changed on :empty command if they contain files under + trash directory (see "Trash directory" section below). + + Registers do not contain one file more than once. + + Example: + + "a2yy + + puts names of two files to register a (and to the unnamed register), + + "Ad + + removes one file and append its name to register a (and to the unnamed + register), + + p or "ap or "Ap + + inserts previously yanked and deleted files into current directory. + +Selectors + y, d, D, !, gu and gU commands accept selectors. You can combine them + with any of selectors below to quickly remove or yank several files. + + Most of selectors are like vi motions: j, k, gg, G, H, L, M, %, f, F, + ;, comma, ', ^, 0 and $. But there are some additional ones. + + a all files in current view. + + s selected files. + + S all files except selected. + + Examples: + + - dj - delete file under cursor and one below; + + - d2j - delete file under cursor and two below; + + - y6gg - yank all files from cursor position to 6th file in the list. + + When you pass a count to whole command and its selector they are multi- + plied. So: + + - 2d2j - delete file under cursor and four below; + + - 2dj - delete file under cursor and two below; + + - 2y6gg - yank all files from cursor position to 12th file in the + list. + +Visual Mode + Visual mode has to generic operating submodes: + + - plain selection as it is in Vim; + + - selection editing submode. + + Both modes select files in range from cursor position at which visual + mode was entered to current cursor position (let's call it "selection + region"). Each of two borders can be adjusted by swapping them via "o" + or "O" keys and updating cursor position with regular cursor motion + keys. Obviously, once initial cursor position is altered this way, + real start position becomes unavailable. + + Plain Vim-like visual mode starts with cleared selection, which is not + restored on rejecting selection ("Escape", "Ctrl-C", "v", "V"). Con- + trary to it, selection editing doesn't clear previously selected files + and restores them after reject. Accepting selection by performing an + operation on selected items (e.g. yanking them via "y") moves cursor to + the top of current selection region (not to the top most selected file + of the view). + + In turn, selection editing supports three types of editing (look at + statusbar to know which one is currently active): + + - append - amend selection by selecting elements in selection region; + + - remove - amend selection by deselecting elements in selection re- + gion; + + - invert - amend selection by inverting selection of elements in se- + lection region. + + No matter how you activate selection editing it starts in "append". + One can switch type of operation (in the order given above) via "Ctrl- + G" key. + + Almost all normal mode keys work in visual mode, but instead of accept- + ing selectors they operate on selected items. + + Enter save selection and go back to normal mode not moving cursor. + + av leave visual mode if in amending mode (restores previous selec- + tion), otherwise switch to amending selection mode. + + gv restore previous visual selection. + + v, V, Ctrl-C or Escape + leave visual mode if not in amending mode, otherwise switch to + normal visual selection. + + Ctrl-G switch type of amending by round robin scheme: append -> remove + -> invert. + + : enter command line mode.

This has at least two advantages + over built-in command-line mode: + - one can use full power of Vim to edit text; + - finding and reusing history entries becomes possible. + + The facility is supported by four input submodes of the command-line: + - command; + - forward search; + - backward search; + - file rename (see description of cw and cW normal mode keys). + + Editing command-line using external editor is activated by the Ctrl-G + shortcut. It's also possible to do almost the same from Normal and + Visual modes using q:, q/ and q? commands. + + Temporary file created for the purpose of editing the line has the fol- + lowing structure: + + 1. First line, which is either empty or contains text already entered + in command-line. + + 2. 2nd and all other lines with history items starting with the most + recent one. Altering this lines in any way won't change history + items stored by vifm. + + After editing application is finished the first line of the file is + taken as the result of operation, when the application returns zero + exit code. If the application returns an error (see :cquit command in + Vim), all the edits made to the file are ignored, but the initial value + of the first line is saved in appropriate history. + +More Mode + This is the mode that appears when status bar content is so big that it + doesn't fit on the screen. One can identify the mode by "-- More --" + message at the bottom. + + The following keys are handled in this mode: + + + Enter, Ctrl-J, j or Down + scroll one line down. + + Backspace, k or Up + scroll one line up. + + + d scroll one page (half of a screen) down. + + u scroll one page (half of a screen) up. + + + Space, f or PageDown + scroll down a screen. + + b or PageUp + scroll up a screen. + + + G scroll to the bottom. + + g scroll to the top. + + + q, Escape or Ctrl-C + quit the mode. + + : switch to command-line mode. + +Commands + Commands are executed with :command_name + + Commented out lines should start with the double quote symbol ("), + which may be preceded by whitespace characters intermixed with colons. + Inline comments can be added at the end of the line after double quote + symbol, only last line of a multi-line command can contain such com- + ment. Not all commands support inline comments as their syntax con- + flicts with names of registers and fields where double quotes are al- + lowed. + + Most of the commands have two forms: complete and the short one. Exam- + ple: + + :noh[lsearch] + + This means the complete command is nohlsearch, and the short one is + noh. + + Most of command-line commands completely reset selection in the current + view. However, there are several exceptions: + + - `:invert s` most likely leaves some files selected; + + - :normal command (when it doesn't leave command-line mode); + + - :if and :else commands don't affect selection on successful execu- + tion. + + '|' can be used to separate commands, so you can give multiple commands + in one line. If you want to use '|' in an argument, precede it with + '\'. + + These commands see '|' as part of their arguments even when it's es- + caped: + + :[range]! + :autocmd + :cabbrev + :cmap + :cnoreabbrev + :cnoremap + :command + :dmap + :dnoremap + :filetype + :fileviewer + :filextype + :map + :mmap + :mnoremap + :nmap + :nnoremap + :noremap + :normal + :qmap + :qnoremap + :vmap + :vnoremap + :wincmd + :windo + :winrun + + To be able to use another command after one of these, wrap it with the + :execute command.

Accepts macros. + + :[range]!command & + + same as above, but the command is run in the background using vifm's + means. + + Programs that write to stdout like "ls" create an error message showing + partial output of the command. + + Note the space before ampersand symbol, if you omit it, command will be + run in the background using job control of your shell. + + Accepts macros. + + :!! + + :[range]!!command + same as :!, but pauses before returning. + + :!! repeat the last command. + + :alink + + :[range]alink[!?] + create absolute symbolic links to files in directory of inactive + view. With "?" prompts for destination file names in an edi- + tor. "!" forces overwrite. + + :[range]alink[!] path + create absolute symbolic links to files in directory specified + by the path (absolute or relative to directory of inactive + view). + + :[range]alink[!] name1 name2... + create absolute symbolic links of files in directory of other + view giving each next link a corresponding name from the argu- + ment list. + + :apropos + + :apropos keyword... + create a menu of items returned by the apropos command.

Patterns that do not contain slashes + are matched against the last item of the path only (e.g. "dir" + in "/path/dir"). Literal comma can be entered by doubling it. + Two modifications to globs matching are as follows: + - * - never matches a slash (i.e., can signify single direc- + tory level) + - ** - matches any character (i.e., can match path of arbi- + trary depth) + + {cmd} is a :command or several of them separated with '|'. + + Examples of patterns: + - conf.d - matches conf.d directory anywhere + - *.d - matches directories ending with ".d" anywhere + - **.git - matches something.git, but not .git anywhere + - **/.git/** - matches /path/.git/objects, but not /path/.git + - **/.git/**/ - matches /path/.git/ only (because of trailing + slash) + - /etc/* - matches /etc/conf.d/, /etc/X11, but not + /etc/X11/fs + - /etc/**/*.d - matches /etc/conf.d, /etc/X11/conf.d, etc. + - /etc/**/* - matches /etc/ itself and any file below it + - /etc/**/** - matches /etc/ itself and any file below it + + :au[tocmd] [{event}] [{pat}] + list those autocommands that match given event-pattern combina- + tion. + {event} and {pat} can be omitted to list all autocommands.

Associ- + ated program (command) is used by handlers of l and Enter keys + (and also in the :file menu). If you need to insert comma into + command just double it (",,"). Space followed by an ampersand + as two last characters of a command means running of the command + in the background. Optional description can be given to each + command to ease understanding of what command will do in the + :file menu. Vifm will try the rest of the programs for an asso- + ciation when the default isn't found. When program entry + doesn't contain any of vifm macros, name of current file is ap- + pended as if program entry ended with %c macro on *nix and %"c + on Windows. On Windows path to executables containing spaces + can (and should be for correct work with such paths) be double + quoted. See "Patterns" section below for pattern definition. + See also "Automatic FUSE mounts" section below. Example for zip + archives and several actions: + + filetype *.zip,*.jar,*.war,*.ear + \ {Mount with fuse-zip} + \ FUSE_MOUNT|fuse-zip %SOURCE_FILE %DESTINATION_DIR, + \ {View contents} + \ zip -sf %c | less, + \ {Extract here} + \ tar -xf %c, + + Note that on OS X when `open` is used to call an app, vifm is + unable to check whether that app is actually available. So if + automatic skipping of programs that aren't there is desirable, + `open` should be replaced with an actual command. + + :filet[ype] filename + list (in menu mode) currently registered patterns that match + specified file name. Same as ":filextype filename". + + :filextype + + :filex[type] pattern-list [{ description }] def_program,program2,... + same as :filetype, but this command is ignored if not running in + X. In X :filextype is equal to :filetype. See "Patterns" sec- + tion below for pattern definition. See also "Automatic FUSE + mounts" section below. + + For example, consider the following settings (the order might + seem strange, but it's for the demonstration purpose): + + filetype *.html,*.htm + \ {View in lynx} + \ lynx + filextype *.html,*.htm + \ {Open with dwb} + \ dwb %f %i &, + filetype *.html,*.htm + \ {View in links} + \ links + filextype *.html,*.htm + \ {Open with firefox} + \ firefox %f &, + \ {Open with uzbl} + \ uzbl-browser %f %i &, + + If you're using vifm inside a terminal emulator that is running + in graphical environment (when X is used on *nix; always on Win- + dows), vifm attempts to run application in this order: + + 1. lynx + 2. dwb + 3. links + 4. firefox + 5. uzbl + + If there is no graphical environment (checked presence of $DIS- + PLAY environment variable on *nix; never happens on Windows), + the list will look like: + + 1. lynx + 2. links + + Just as if all :filextype commands were not there. + + The purpose of such differentiation is to allow comfortable use + of vifm with same settings in desktop environment/through remote + connection (SSH)/in native console. + + Note that on OS X $DISPLAY isn't defined unless you define it, + so :filextype should be used only if you set $DISPLAY in some + way. + + :filext[ype] filename + list (in menu mode) currently registered patterns that match + specified file name. Same as ":filetype filename". + + :fileviewer + + :filev[iewer] pattern-list command1,command2,... + register specified list of commands as viewers for each of the + patterns. Viewer is a command which output is captured and dis- + played in one of the panes of vifm after pressing "e" or running + :view command. When the command doesn't contain any of vifm + macros, name of current file is appended as if command ended + with %c macro. Comma escaping and missing commands processing + rules as for :filetype apply to this command.

At the same + time linux native console can handle boldness of foreground and back- + ground colors independently, but for consistency with terminal emula- + tors this is available only implicitly by using light versions of col- + ors. This behaviour might be changed in the future. + + Although vifm supports 256 colors in a sense they are supported by UI + drawing library, whether you will be able to use all of them highly de- + pends on your terminal. To set up terminal properly, make sure that + $TERM in the environment you run vifm is set to name of 256-color ter- + minal (on *nixes it can also be set via X resources), e.g. + xterm-256color. One can find list of available terminal names by list- + ing /usr/lib/terminfo/.

When user arguments contain macros, they are + expanded before preforming substitution of %a. + + %c %"c The current file under the cursor. + + %C %"C The current file under the cursor in the other directory. + + %f %"f All of the selected files. + + %F %"F All of the selected files in the other directory list. + + %b %"b Same as %f %F. + + %d %"d Full path to current directory. + + %D %"D Full path to other file list directory. + + %rx %"rx + Full paths to files in the register {x}. In case of invalid + symbol in place of {x}, it's processed with the rest of the line + and default register is used. + + %m Show command output in a menu. + + %M Same as %m, but l (or Enter) key is handled like for :locate and + :find commands. + + %u Process command output as list of paths and compose custom view + out of it. + + %U Same as %u, but implies less list updates inside vifm, which is + absence of sorting at the moment. + + %Iu same as %u, but gives up terminal before running external com- + mand. + + %IU same as %U, but gives up terminal before running external com- + mand. + + %S Show command output in the status bar. + + %q redirect command output to quick view, which is activated if + disabled. + + %s Execute command in split window of active terminal multiplexer + (ignored if not running inside one). + + %n Forbid using of terminal multiplexer to run the command. + + %i Completely ignore command output. + + + %pc Marks the end of the main command and the beginning of the clear + command for graphical preview, which is invoked on closing pre- + view of a file. + + %pd Marks a preview command as one that directly communicates with + the terminal. Beware that this is for things like sixel which + are self-contained sequences that depend only on current cursor + position, using this with anything else is likely to mangle ter- + minal state. + + The following dimensions and coordinates are in characters: + + %px x coordinate of top-left corner of preview area. + + %py y coordinate of top-left corner of preview area. + + %pw width of preview area. + + %ph height of preview area. + + + Use %% if you need to put a percent sign in your command. + + Note that %m, %M, %s, %S, %i, %u and %U macros are mutually exclusive. + Only the last one of them on the command will take effect. + + You can use file name modifiers after %c, %C, %f, %F, %b, %d and %D + macros. Supported modifiers are: + + - :p - full path + + - :u - UNC name of path (e.g. "\\server" in + "\\server\share"), Windows only. Expands to current computer name + for not UNC paths. + + - :~ - relative to the home directory + + - :. - relative to current directory + + - :h - head of the file name + + - :t - tail of the file name + + - :r - root of the file name (without last extension) + + - :e - extension of the file name (last one) + + - :s?pat?sub? - substitute the first occurrence of pat with sub. + You can use any character for '?', but it must not occur in pat or + sub. + + - :gs?pat?sub? - like :s, but substitutes all occurrences of pat with + sub. + + See ':h filename-modifiers' in Vim's documentation for the detailed de- + scription. + + Using %x means expand corresponding macro escaping all characters that + have special meaning. And %"x means using of double quotes and escape + only backslash and double quote characters, which is more useful on + Windows systems. + + Position and quantity (if there is any) of %m, %M, %S or %s macros in + the command is unimportant. All their occurrences are removed from the + resulting command. + + %c and %f macros are expanded to file names only, when %C and %F are + expanded to full paths. %f and %F follow this in %b too. + + :com move mv %f %D + set the :move command to move all of the files selected in the + current directory to the other directory. + + The %a macro is replaced with any arguments given to an alias command. + All arguments are considered optional. + :com lsl !!ls -l %a - set the lsl command to execute ls -l with + or without an argument. + + :lsl + will list the directory contents of the current directory. + + :lsl filename + will list only the given filename. + + The macros can also be used in directly executing commands. ":!mv %f + %D" would move the current directory selected files to the other direc- + tory. + + Appending & to the end of a command causes it to be executed in the + background. Typically you want to run two kinds of external commands + in the background: + + - GUI applications that doesn't fork thus block vifm (:!sxiv %f &); + + - console tools that do not work with terminal (:!mv %f %D &). + + You don't want to run terminal commands, which require terminal input + or output something in background because they will mess up vifm's TUI. + Anyway, if you did run such a command, you can use Ctrl-L key to update + vifm's TUI. + + Rewriting the example command with macros given above with background- + ing: + + %m, %M, %s, %S, %u and %U macros cannot be combined with background + mark (" &") as it doesn't make much sense. + +Command backgrounding + Copy and move operation can take a lot of time to proceed. That's why + vifm supports backgrounding of this two operations. To run :copy, + :move or :delete command in the background just add " &" at the end of + a command. + + For each background operation a new thread is created. Job cancella- + tion can be requested in the :jobs menu via dd shortcut. + + You can see if command is still running in the :jobs menu. Back- + grounded commands have progress instead of process id at the line be- + ginning. + + Background operations cannot be undone. + +Cancellation + Note that cancellation works somewhat different on Windows platform due + to different mechanism of break signal propagation. One also might + need to use Ctrl-Break shortcut instead of Ctrl-C. + + There are two types of operations that can be cancelled: + + - file system operations; + + - mounting with FUSE (but not unmounting as it can cause loss of + data); + + - calls of external applications. + + Note that vifm never terminates applications, it sends SIGINT signal + and lets the application quit normally. + + When one of set of operations is cancelled (e.g. copying of 5th file of + 10 files), further operations are cancelled too. In this case undo + history will contain only actually performed operations. + + Cancelled operations are indicated by "(cancelled)" suffix appended to + information message on statusbar. + + File system operations + + Currently the following commands can be cancelled: :alink, :chmod, + :chown, :clone, :copy, :delete, :mkdir, :move, :restore, :rlink, + :touch. File putting (on p/P key) can be cancelled as well. It's not + hard to see that these are mainly long-running operations. + + Cancelling commands when they are repeated for undo/redo operations is + allowed for convenience, but is not recommended as further undo/redo + operations might get blocked by side-effects of partially cancelled + group of operations. + + These commands can't be cancelled: :empty, :rename, :substitute, :tr. + + Mounting with FUSE + + It's not considered to be an error, so only notification on the status + bar is shown. + + External application calls + + Each of this operations can be cancelled: :apropos, :find, :grep, :lo- + cate. + +Patterns + :highlight, :filetype, :filextype, :fileviewer commands and 'classify' + option support globs, regular expressions and mime types to match file + names or their paths. + + There are six possible ways to write a single pattern: + + 1. [!]{comma-separated-name-globs} + + 2. [!]{{comma-separated-path-globs}} + + 3. [!]/name-regular-expression/[iI] + + 4. [!]//path-regular-expression//[iI] + + 5. [!] + + 6. undecorated-pattern + + First five forms can include leading exclamation mark that negates pat- + tern matching. + + The last form is implicitly refers to one of others. :highlight does + not accept undecorated form, while :filetype, :filextype, :fileviewer, + :select, :unselect and 'classify' treat it as list of name globs. + + Path patterns receive absolute path of the file that includes its name + component as well. + + To combine several patterns (AND them), make sure you're using one of + the first five forms and write patterns one after another, like this: + {*.vifm} + Mind that if you make a mistake the whole string will be treated as the + sixth form. + + :filetype, :filextype and :fileviewer commands accept comma-separated + list of patterns instead of a single pattern, thus effectively handling + OR operation on them: + {*.vifm},{*.pdf} + Forms that accept comma-separated lists of patterns also process them + as lists of alternatives. + + Patterns with regular expressions + + Regular expression patterns are case insensitive by default, see de- + scription of commands, which might override default behaviour. + + Flags of regular expressions mean the following: + - "i" makes filter case insensitive; + - "I" makes filter case sensitive. They can be repeated multiple + times, but the later one takes precedence (e.g. "iiiI" is equivalent + to "I" and "IiIi" is the same as "i"). + + There are no implicit `^` or `$`, so make sure to specify them explic- + itly if the pattern should match the whole name or path. + + Patterns with globs + + "Globs" section below provides short overview of globs and some impor- + tant points that one needs to know about them. + + Patterns with mime-types + + Mime type matching is essentially globs matching applied to mime type + of a file instead of its name/path. Note: mime types aren't detected + on Windows. + + Examples + + Associate `evince` to PDF-files only inside `/home/user/downloads/` di- + rectory (excluding its subdirectories): + + :filextype //^/home/user/downloads/[^/]*.pdf$// evince %f + + +Globs + Globs are always case insensitive as it makes sense in general case. + + `*`, `?`, `[` and `]` are treated as special symbols in the pattern. + E.g. + + :filetype * less %c + + matches all files. One can use character classes for escaping, so + + :filetype [*] less %c + + matches only one file name, the one which contains only asterisk sym- + bol. + + `*` means any number of any characters (possibly an empty substring), + with one exception: asterisk at the pattern beginning doesn't match dot + in the first position. E.g. + + :fileviewer *.zip,*.jar zip -sf %c + + associates using of `zip` program to preview all files with `zip` or + `jar` extensions as listing of their content, but `.file.zip` won't be + matched. + + `?` means any character at this position. E.g. + + :fileviewer ?.out file %c + + calls `file` tool for all files which have exactly one character before + their extension (e.g. a.out, b.out). + + Square brackets designate character class, which means that whole char- + acter class matches against any of characters listed in it. For exam- + ple + + :fileviewer *.[ch] highlight -O xterm256 -s dante --syntax c %c + + makes vifm call `highlight` program to colorize source and header files + in C language for a 256-color terminal. Equal command would be + + :fileviewer *.c,*.h highlight -O xterm256 -s dante --syntax c %c + + + Inside square brackets `^` or `!` can be used for symbol class negotia- + tion and the `-` symbol to set a range. `^` and `!` should appear + right after the opening square bracket. For example + + :filetype *.[!d]/ inspect_dir + + associates `inspect_dir` as additional handler for all directories that + have one character extension unless it's "d" letter. And + + :filetype [0-9].jpg sxiv + + associates `sxiv` picture viewer only for JPEG-files that contain sin- + gle digit in their name. + +:set options + Local options + These are kind of options that are local to a specific view. So + you can set ascending sorting order for left pane and descending + order for right pane. + + In addition to being local to views, each such option also has + two values: + + - local to current directory (value associated with current + location); + + - global to current directory (value associated with the + pane). + + The idea is that current directory can be made a temporary ex- + ception to regular configuration of the view, until directory + change. Use :setlocal for that. :setglobal changes view value + not affecting settings until directory change. :set applies + changes immediately to all values. + + + 'aproposprg' + type: string + default: "apropos %a" + Specifies format for an external command to be invoked by the + :apropos command. The format supports expanding of macros, spe- + cific for a particular *prg option, and %% sequence for insert- + ing percent sign literally. This option should include the %a + macro to specify placement of arguments passed to the :apropos + command. If the macro is not used, it will be implicitly added + after a space to the value of this option. + + 'autochpos' + type: boolean + default: true + When disabled vifm will set cursor to the first line in the view + after :cd and :pushd commands instead of saved cursor position. + Disabling this will also make vifm clear information about cur- + sor position in the view history on :cd and :pushd commands (and + on startup if 'autochpos' is disabled in the vifmrc). l key in + the ":history ." and ":trashes" menus are treated like :cd com- + mand. This option also affects marks so that navigating to a + mark doesn't restore cursor position. + + When this option is enabled, more fine grained control over cur- + sor position is available via 'histcursor' option. + + 'columns' 'co' + type: integer + default: terminal width on startup + Terminal width in characters. + + 'caseoptions' + type: charset + default: "" + This option gives additional control over case sensitivity by + allowing overriding default behaviour to either always be case + sensitive or always be case insensitive. Possible values form + pairs of lower and upper case letters that configure specific + aspect of behaviour: + p - always ignore case of paths during completion. + P - always match case of paths during completion. + g - always ignore case of characters for f/F/;/,. + G - always match case of characters for f/F/;/,. + + At most one item of each pair takes affect, if both or more are + present, only the last one matters. When none of pair's ele- + ments are present, the behaviour is default (depends on operat- + ing system for path completion and on values of 'ignorecase' and + 'smartcase' options for file navigation). + + 'cdpath' 'cd' + type: string list + default: value of $CDPATH with commas instead of colons + Specifies locations to check on changing directory with relative + path that doesn't start with "./" or "../". When non-empty, + current directory is examined after directories listed in the + option. + + This option doesn't affect completion of :cd command. + + Example: + + set cdpath=~ + + This way ":cd bin" will switch to "~/bin" even if directory + named "bin" exists in current directory, while ":cd ./bin" com- + mand will ignore value of 'cdpath'. + + 'chaselinks' + type: boolean + default: false + When enabled path of view is always resolved to real path (with + all symbolic links expanded). + + 'classify' + type: string list + default: ":dir:/" + Specifies file name prefixes and suffixes depending on file type + or name. The format is either of: + - [{prefix}]:{filetype}:[{suffix}] + - [{prefix}]::{pattern}::[{suffix}] + Possible {pattern} forms are described in "Patterns" section + above. + + Priority rules: + - file name patterns have priority over type patterns + - file name patterns are matched in left-to-right order of + their appearance in this option + + Either {prefix} or {suffix} or both can be omitted (which is the + default for all unspecified file types), this means empty {pre- + fix} and/or {suffix}. {prefix} and {suffix} should consist of + at most eight characters. Elements are separated by commas. + Neither prefixes nor suffixes are part of file names, so they + don't affect commands which operate on file names in any way. + Comma (',') character can be inserted by doubling it. List of + file type names can be found in the description of filetype() + function. + + 'confirm' 'cf' + type: set + default: delete,permdelete + Defines which operations require confirmation: + - delete - moving files to trash (on d or :delete); + - permdelete - permanent deletion of files (on D or :delete! + command or on undo/redo operation). + + 'cpoptions' 'cpo' + type: charset + default: "fst" + Contains a sequence of single-character flags. Each flag en- + ables behaviour of older versions of vifm. Flags: + - f - when included, running :filter command results in not in- + verted (matching files are filtered out) and :filter! in in- + verted (matching files are left) filter, when omitted, meaning + of the exclamation mark changes to the opposite; + - s - when included, yy, dd and DD normal mode commands act on + selection, otherwise they operate on current file only; + - t - when included, (thus ) behave as and + switches active pane, otherwise and go forward in + the view history. It's possible to make both and to + work as expected by setting up the terminal to emit a custom se- + quence when is pressed; see :histnext for details. + + 'cvoptions' + type: set + default: + Specifies whether entering/leaving custom views triggers events + that normally happen on entering/leaving directories: + - autocmds - trigger autocommands on entering/leaving custom + views; + - localopts - reset local options on entering/leaving custom + views; + - localfilter - reset local filter on entering/leaving custom + views. + + 'deleteprg' + type: string + default: "" + Specifies program to run on files that are permanently removed. + When empty, files are removed as usual, otherwise this command + is invoked on each file by appending its name. If the command + doesn't remove files, they will remain on the file system. + + 'dirsize' + type: enumeration + default: size + Controls how size of directories is displayed in file views. + The following values are possible: + - size - size of directory (i.e., size used to store list of + files) + - nitems - number of entries in the directory (excluding . and + ..) + + Size obtained via ga/gA overwrites this setting so seeing count + of files and occasionally size of directories is possible. + + 'dotdirs' + type: set + default: nonrootparent + Controls displaying of dot directories. The following values + are possible: + - rootparent - show "../" in root directory of file system + - nonrootparent - show "../" in non-root directories of file + system + + Note that empty directories always contain "../" entry regard- + less of value of this option. "../" disappears at the moment at + least one file is created. + + 'dotfiles' + type: boolean + default: false + Whether dot files are shown in the view. Can be controlled with + z* bindings. + + 'fastrun' + type: boolean + default: false + With this option turned on you can run partially entered com- + mands with unambiguous beginning using :! (e.g. :!Te instead of + :!Terminal or :!Te). + + 'fillchars' 'fcs' + type: string list + default: "" + Sets characters used to fill borders. + + item default used for + vborder:c ' ' left, middle and right vertical bor- + ders + + If value is omitted, its default value is used. Example: + + set fillchars=vborder:. + + 'findprg' + type: string + default: "find %s %a -print , -type d \( ! -readable -o ! -exe- + cutable \) -prune" + Specifies format for an external command to be invoked by the + :find command. The format supports expansion of macros specific + for this particular option and %% sequence for inserting percent + sign literally. The macros are: + + macro value/meaning + %s literal arguments of :find or + list of paths to search in + + %A empty or + literal arguments of :find + %a empty or + literal arguments of :find or + predicate followed by escaped arguments of :find + %p empty or + literal arguments of :find or + escaped arguments (parameters) of :find + + %u redirect output to custom view instead of showing a + menu + %U redirect output to unsorted custom view instead of + showing a menu + + Predicate in %a is "-name" on *nix and "-iname" on Windows. + + If both %u and %U are specified, %U is chosen. + + Some macros can be added implicitly: + - if %s isn't present, it's appended + - if neither of %a, %A and %p is present, %a is appended + - if neither of %s, %a, %A and %p is present, %s and %a are ap- + pended in this order + + The macros slightly change their meaning depending on format of + :find's arguments: + - if the first argument points to an existing directory, %s is + assigned all arguments while %a, %A and %p are left empty + - otherwise: + - %s is assigned a dot (".") meaning current directory or + list of selected file names, if any + - %a, %A and %p are assigned literal arguments when first + argument starts with a dash ("-"), otherwise %a gets an escaped + version of the arguments with a predicate and %p contains es- + caped version of the arguments + + Starting with Windows Server 2003 a `where` command is avail- + able. One can configure vifm to use it in the following way: + + set findprg="where /R %s %A" + + As the syntax of this command is rather limited, one can't use + :find command with selection of more than one item because the + command ignores all directory paths except for the last one. + + When using find port on Windows, another option is to setup + 'findprg' like this: + + set findprg="find %s %a" + + + 'followlinks' + type: boolean + default: true + Follow links on l or Enter. That is navigate to destination + file instead of treating the link as if it were target file. + Doesn't affects links to directories, which are always entered + (use gf key for directories). + + 'fusehome' + type: string + default: "($XDG_DATA_HOME/.local/share | $VIFM)/fuse/" + Directory to be used as a root dir for FUSE mounts. Value of + the option can contain environment variables (in form "$en- + vname"), which will be expanded (prepend it with a slash to pre- + vent expansion). The value should expand to an absolute path. + + If you change this option, vifm won't remount anything. It af- + fects future mounts only. See "Automatic FUSE mounts" section + below for more information. + + 'gdefault' 'gd' + type: boolean + default: false + When on, 'g' flag is on for :substitute by default. + + 'grepprg' + type: string + default: "grep -n -H -I -r %i %a %s" + Specifies format for an external command to be invoked by the + :grep command. The format supports expanding of macros, spe- + cific for a particular *prg option, and %% sequence for insert- + ing percent sign literally. This option should include the %i + macro to specify placement of "-v" string when inversion of re- + sults is requested, %a or %A macro to specify placement of argu- + ments passed to the :grep command and the %s macro to specify + placement of list of files to search in.

If you want cursor line to always be in the middle of the + view (except at the beginning or end of the file list), set this + option to some large value (e.g. 999). + + 'shell' 'sh' + type: string + default: $SHELL or "/bin/sh" or "cmd" (on MS-Windows) + Full path to the shell to use to run external commands. On *nix + a shell argument can be supplied. + + 'shellcmdflag' 'shcf' + type: string + default: "-c" or "/C" (for cmd.exe on MS-Windows) + Command-line option used to pass a command to 'shell'. It's + used in contexts where command comes from the user. + + 'shortmess' 'shm' + type: charset + default: "p" + Contains a sequence of single-character flags. Each flag en- + ables shortening of some message displayed by vifm in the TUI. + Flags: + - L - display only last directory in tab line instead of full + path. + - M - shorten titles in windows of terminal multiplexers cre- + ated by vifm down to file name instead of using full path. + - T - truncate status-bar messages in the middle if they are + too long to fit on the command line.

Possible values: + - never - never display tab line + - multiple - show tab line only when there are at least two + tabs + - always - display tab line always + + Alternatively 0, 1 and 2 Vim-like values are also accepted and + correspond to "never", "multiple" and "always" respectively. + + + 'sizefmt' + type: string list + default: "units:iec" + Configures the way size is formatted in human-friendly way. + + item value meaning + units: iec Use 1024 byte units (K or KiB, + etc.). + See 'iec' option. + si Use 1000 byte units (KB, etc.). + precision: i > 0 How many fraction digits to con- + sider. + {not set} Precision of 1 for integer part + < 10, + 0 otherwise (provides old behav- + iour). + space {present} Insert space before unit sym- + bols. + This is the default. + nospace {present} Do not insert space before unit + symbols. + + Numbers are rounded from zero. Trailing zeros are dropped. + + Example: + + set sizefmt=units:iec,precision:2,nospace + + + 'slowfs' + type: string list + default: "" + only for *nix + A list of mounter fs name beginnings (first column in /etc/mtab + or /proc/mounts) or paths prefixes for fs/directories that work + too slow for you. This option can be used to stop vifm from + making some requests to particular kinds of file systems that + can slow down file browsing. Currently this means don't check + if directory has changed, skip check if target of symbolic links + exists, assume that link target located on slow fs to be a di- + rectory (allows entering directories and navigating to files via + gf). If you set the option to "*", it means all the systems are + considered slow (useful for cygwin, where all the checks might + render vifm very slow if there are network mounts). + + Example for autofs root /mnt/autofs: + + set slowfs+=/mnt/autofs + + 'smartcase' 'scs' + type: boolean + default: false + Overrides the ignorecase option if the search pattern contains + at least one upper case character. Only used when ignorecase + option is enabled.

That's why if one wants sorting + algorithm to mix directories and files, "dir" should be appended + to sorting option, for example like this: + + set sort+=dir + + or + + set sort=-size,dir + + Value of the option is checked to include dir key and default + sorting key (name on *nix, iname on Windows). Here is what hap- + pens if one of them is missing: + + - type key is added at the beginning; + + - default key is added at the end; + + all other keys are left untouched (at most they are moved). + + This option also changes view columns according to primary sort- + ing key set, unless 'viewcolumns' option is not empty. + + 'sortnumbers' + type: boolean + default: false + scope: local + Natural sort of (version) numbers within text. + + 'sortgroups' + type: string + default: "" + scope: local + Sets comma-separated list of regular expressions to use for + group sorting, double comma is literal comma. Each expression + should contain at least one group or its value will be consid- + ered to be always empty. Only first match of each regular ex- + pression is considered. Groups are considered from right to + first similar to 'sort', first group divides list of files into + sub-groups, each of which is sorted by the second group and so + on. + + Example: + set sortgroups=-(done|todo).* + this would put files with "-done" in their names above all files + with "-todo". + + 'sortorder' + type: enumeration + default: ascending + Sets sort order for primary key: ascending, descending. + + 'statusline' 'stl' + type: string + default: "" + Determines the content of the status line (the line right above + command-line). Empty string means use same format like in pre- + vious versions. Following macros are supported: + + - %t - file name (considering value of the 'classify' option) + + - %T - symbolic link target (empty for other filetypes) + + - %f - file name relative to current directory (considers 'clas- + sify') + + - %A - file attributes (permissions on *nix or properties on + Windows) %u - user name or uid (if it cannot be resolved) + + - %g - group name or gid (if it cannot be resolved) + + - %s - file size in human readable format + + - %E - size of selected files in human readable format, same as + %s when no files are selected, except that it will never show + size of ../ in visual mode, since it cannot be selected + + - %d - file modification date (uses 'timefmt' option) + + - %D - path of the other pane for single-pane layout + + - %a - amount of free space available at current partition + + - %z - short tips/tricks/hints that chosen randomly after one + minute period + + - %{} - evaluate arbitrary vifm expression '', e.g. + '&sort' + + - %* - resets or applies one of User1..User9 highlight groups; + reset happens when width field is 0 or not specified, one of + groups gets picked when width field is in the range from 1 to + 9 + + - all 'rulerformat' macros + + Percent sign can be followed by optional minimum field width. + Add '-' before minimum field width if you want field to be right + aligned. + + On Windows file properties include the following flags (upper + case means flag is on): + A - archive + H - hidden + I - content isn't indexed + R - readonly + S - system + C - compressed + D - directory + E - encrypted + P - reparse point (e.g. symbolic link) + Z - sparse file + + Example without colors: + + set statusline=" %t%= %A %10u:%-7g %15s %20d %{&sort} " + + Example with colors: + + highlight User1 ctermbg=yellow + highlight User2 ctermbg=blue ctermfg=white cterm=bold + set statusline="%1* %-26t %2* %= %1* %A %2* %7u:%-7g %1* %-5s %2* %d " + + + 'suggestoptions' + type: string list + default: + Controls when, for what and how suggestions are displayed. The + following values are available: + - normal - in normal mode; + - visual - in visual mode; + - view - in view mode; + - otherpane - use other pane to display suggestions, when + available; + - delay[:num] - display suggestions after a small delay (to + do not annoy if you just want to type a fast shortcut consisting + of multiple keys), num specifies the delay in ms (500 by de- + fault), 'timeoutlen' at most; + - keys - include shortcuts (commands and selectors); + - foldsubkeys - fold multiple keys with common prefix; + - marks - include marks; + - registers[:num] - include registers, at most num files (5 by + default). + + 'syncregs' + type: string + default: + Specifies identifier of group of instances that share registers + between each other. When several instances of vifm have this + option set to identical value, they automatically synchronize + contents of their registers on operations which use them. + + 'syscalls' + type: boolean + default: false + When disabled, vifm will rely on external applications to per- + form file-system operations, otherwise system calls are used in- + stead (much faster and supports progress tracking). The option + should eventually be removed. Mostly *nix-like systems are af- + fected. + + 'tabscope' + type: enumeration + default: global + Picks style of tabs, which defines what a single tab contains. + Possible values: + - global - tab describes complete UI of two views and how they + are arranged + - pane - tab is located "inside" a pane and manages it and + quick view + + 'tabstop' 'ts' + type: integer + default: value from curses library + Number of spaces that a Tab in the file counts for. + + 'timefmt' + type: string + default: "%m/%d %H:%M" + Format of time in file list.

Because not + all terminals support setting title, this works only if `$TERM` + value matches one of the following conditions: + - equals "xterm" or starts with "xterm-" + - equals "rxvt" or starts with "rxvt-" + - equals "screen" or starts with "screen-" + - equals "aterm" + - equals "Eterm" + + 'trash' + type: boolean + default: true + Use trash directory. See "Trash directory" section below. + + 'trashdir' + type: string + default: on *nix: + "%r/.vifm-Trash-%u,$VIFM/Trash,%r/.vifm-Trash" + or if $VIFM/Trash doesn't exist + "%r/.vifm-Trash-%u,$XDG_DATA_HOME/vifm/Trash,%r/.vifm-Trash" + on Windows: + "%r/.vifm-Trash,$XDG_DATA_HOME/vifm/Trash" + List of trash directory path specifications, separated with com- + mas. Each list item either defines an absolute path to trash + directory or a path relative to a mount point root when list el- + ement starts with "%r/". Value of the option can contain envi- + ronment variables (of form "$envname"), which will be expanded + (prepend $ with a slash to prevent expansion). Environment + variables are expanded when the option is set. + + On *nix, if element ends with "%u", the mark is replaced with + real user ID and permissions are set so that only that only + owner is able to use it. + Note that even this setup is not completely secure when combined + with "%r/" and it's overall safer to keep files in home direc- + tory, but that implies cost of copying files between partitions. + + When new file gets cut (deleted) vifm traverses each element of + the option in the order of their appearance and uses first trash + directory that it was able to create or that is already + writable. + + Default value tries to use trash directory per mount point and + falls back to ~/.vifm/Trash on failure. + + Will attempt to create the directory if it does not exist. See + "Trash directory" section below. + + 'tuioptions' 'to' + type: charset + default: "ps" + Each flag configures some aspect of TUI appearance. The flags + are: + p - when included: + * file list inside a pane gets additional single character + padding on left and right sides; + * quick view and view mode get single character padding. + s - when included, left and right borders (side borders, hence + "s" character) are visible. + u - use Unicode characters in the TUI (Unicode ellipsis instead + of "..."). + + 'undolevels' 'ul' + type: integer + default: 100 + Maximum number of changes that can be undone. Note that here + single file operation is used as a unit, not operation, i.e. + deletion of 101 files will exceed default limit. + + 'vicmd' + type: string + default: "vim" + Command used to edit files in various contexts. Ampersand sign + at the end (regardless whether it's preceded by space or not) + means backgrounding of command. + + Background flag is ignored in certain context where vifm waits + for the editor to finish. Such contexts include any command + that spawns editor to change list of file names or a command, + with :rename being one example. `-f` is also appended to pre- + vent forking in such cases, so the command needs to handle the + flag. + + Additionally `+{num}` and `+'call cursor()'` arguments are used + to position cursor when location is known. + + 'viewcolumns' + type: string + default: "" + scope: local + Format string containing list of columns in the view. When this + option is empty, view columns to show are chosen automatically + using sorting keys (see 'sort') as a base. Value of this option + is ignored if 'lsview' is set.

Possible values: + - bar - one-line with left-to-right cursor + - popup - multi-line with top-to-bottom cursor + + 'wordchars' + type: string list + default: "1-8,14-31,33-255" (that is all non-whitespace charac- + ters) + Specifies which characters in command-line mode should be con- + sidered as part of a word. Value of the option is comma-sepa- + rated list of ranges. If both endpoints of a range match, sin- + gle endpoint is enough (e.g. "a" = "a-a"). Both endpoints are + inclusive. There are two accepted forms: character representing + itself or number encoding character according to ASCII table. + In case of ambiguous characters (dash, comma, digit) use numeric + form. Accepted characters are in the range from 0 to 255. Any + Unicode character with code greater than 255 is considered to be + part of a word. + + The option affects Alt-D, Alt-B and Alt-F, but not Ctrl-W. This + is intentionally to allow two use cases: + + - Moving by WORDS and deletion by words. + - Moving by words and deletion by WORDS. + + To get the latter use the following mapping: + + cnoremap + + Also used for abbreviations. + + 'wrap' type: boolean + default: true + Controls whether to wrap text in quick view. + + 'wrapscan' 'ws' + type: boolean + default: true + Searches wrap around end of the list. + +Mappings + Map arguments + + LHS of mappings can be preceded by arguments which take the form of + special sequences: + + + Postpone UI updates until RHS is completely processed. + + In case of builtin mapping causing conflict for a user-defined + mapping (e.g., `t` builtin to a partially typed `ta` user-de- + fined mapping), ignore the builtin mapping and wait for input + indefinitely as opposed to default behaviour of triggering the + builtin mapping after a delay defined by 'timeoutlen'. Example: + + nnoremap tw :set wrap! + nnoremap tn :set number! + nnoremap tr :set relativenumber! + + Special sequences + + Since it's not easy to enter special characters there are several spe- + cial sequences that can be used in place of them. They are: + + Enter key. + + Escape key. + + + Space key. + + Less-than character (<). + + provides a way to disable a mapping (by mapping it to ). + + Backspace key (see key conflict description below). + + + Tabulation and Shift+Tabulation keys. + + + Home/End. + + + Arrow keys. + + + PageUp/PageDown. + + + Delete key. and mean different codes, but + is more common. + + + Insert key. + + ,,...,,,,,, + Control + some key (see key conflict description below). + + only for *nix + Control + Space. + + ,,..., + ,,..., Alt + some key. + + ,,..., + ,,..., only for *nix + Alt + Ctrl + some key. + + - + Functional keys. + + - + only for MS-Windows + functional keys with Control key pressed. + + - + only for MS-Windows + functional keys with Alt key pressed. + + - + only for MS-Windows + functional keys with Shift key pressed. + + Note that due to the way terminals process their input, several key- + board keys might be mapped to single key code, for example: + + - and ; + + - and ; + + - and ; + + - etc. + + Most of the time they are defined consistently and don't cause sur- + prises, but and are treated differently in different envi- + ronments (although they match each other all the time), that's why they + correspond to different keys in vifm. As a consequence, if you map or be sure to repeat the mapping with the other one so that it + works in all environments. Alternatively, provide your mapping in one + form and add one of the following: + + " if mappings with in the LHS work + map + " if mappings with in the LHS work + map + + Whitespace + + vifm removes whitespace characters at the beginning and end of com- + mands.

Path to that directory (original directory) can be + seen in the title of a custom view. + + Files in same directory have to be named differently, this doesn't hold + for custom views thus seeing just file names might be rather confusing. + In order to give an idea where files come from and when possible, rela- + tive paths to original directory of the view is displayed, otherwise + full path is used instead. + + Custom views normally don't contain any inexistent files. + + Navigation + + Custom views have some differences related to navigation in regular + views. + + gf - acts similar to gf on symbolic links and navigates to the file at + its real + location. + + h - go to closes parent node in tree view, otherwise return to the + original directory. + + gh - return to the original directory. + + Opening ".." entry also causes return to the original directory. + + History + + Custom list exists only while it's visible, once left one can't return + to it, so there is no appearances of it in any history. + + Filters + + Only local filter affects content of the view. This is intentional, + presumably if one loads list, precisely that list should be displayed + (except for inexistent paths, which are ignored). + + Search + + Although directory names are visible in listing, they are not search- + able. Only file names are taken into account (might be changed in fu- + ture, searching whole lines seems quite reasonable). + + Sorting + + Contrary to search sorting by name works on whole visible part of file + path. + + Highlight + + Whole file name is highlighted as one entity, even if there are direc- + tory elements. + + Updates + + Reloads can occur, though they are not automatic due to files being + scattered among different places. On a reload, inexistent files are + removed and meta-data of all other files is updated. + + Once custom view forgets about the file, it won't add it back even if + it's created again. So not seeing file previously affected by an oper- + ation, which was undone is normal. + + Operations + + All operations that add files are forbidden for custom views. For ex- + ample, moving/copying/putting files into a custom view doesn't work, + because it doesn't make much sense. + + On the other hand, operations that use files of a custom view as a + source (e.g. yanking, copying, moving file from custom view, deletion) + and operations that modify names are all allowed. + +Compare views + Kinds + + :compare can produce four different results depending on arguments: + - single compare view (ofone and either listall or listdups); + - single custom view (ofone and listunique); + - two compare views (ofboth and either listall or listdups); + - two custom views (ofboth and listunique). + + The first two display files of one file system tree. Here duplicates + are files that have at least one copy in the same tree. The other two + kinds of operation compare two trees, in which duplicates are files + that are found in both trees. + + Lists of unique files are presented in custom views because there is no + file grouping to preserve as all file ids are guaranteed to be dis- + tinct. + + Creation + + Arguments passed to :compare form four categories each with its own + prefix and is responsible for particular property of operation. + + Which files to compare: + - ofboth - compares files of two panes against each other; + - ofone - compares files of the same directory. + + How files are compared: + - byname - by their name only; + - bysize - only by their size; + - bycontents - by combination of size and hash of file contents. + + Which files to display: + - listall - all files; + - listunique - unique files only; + - listdups - only duplicated files. + + How results are grouped (has no effect if "ofone" specified): + - groupids - files considered identical are always adjacent in out- + put; + - grouppaths - file system ordering is preferred (this also enables + displaying identically named files as mismatches). + + Which files to omit: + - skipempty - ignore empty files. + + Each argument can appear multiple times, the rightmost one of the group + is considered. Arguments alter default behaviour instead of substitut- + ing it. + + Examples + + The defaults corresponds to probably the most common use case of com- + paring files in two trees with grouping by paths, so the following are + equivalent: + + :compare + :compare bycontents grouppaths + :compare bycontents listall ofboth grouppaths + + Another use case is to find duplicates in the current sub-tree: + + :compare listdups ofone + + The following command lists files that are unique to each pane: + + :compare listunique + + Look + + The view can't switch to ls-like view as it's unable to display diff- + like data. + + Comparison views have second column displaying id of the file, files + with same id are considered to be equal. The view columns configura- + tion is predefined. + + Behaviour + + When two views are being compared against each other the following + changes to the regular behaviour apply: + - views are scrolled synchronously (as if 'scrollbind' was set); + - views' cursors are synchronized; + - local filtering is disabled (its results wouldn't be meaningful); + - zd excludes groups of adjacent identical files, 1zd gives usual be- + haviour; + - sorting is permanently disabled (ordering is fixed); + - removed files hide their counter pairs; + - exiting one of the views terminates the other immediately; + - renaming files isn't blocked, but isn't taken into account and might + require regeneration of comparison; + - entries which indicate absence of equivalent file have empty names + and can be matched as such; + - when unique files of both views are listed custom views can be + empty, this absence of unique files is stated clearly. + + One compare view has similar properties (those that are applicable for + single pane). + + Files are gathered in this way: + - recursively starting at current location of the view; + - dot files are excluded if view hides them at the moment of compari- + son; + - directories are not taken into account; + - symbolic links to directories are ignored. + +Startup + On startup vifm determines several variables that are used during the + session. They are determined in the order they appear below. + + On *nix systems $HOME is normally present and used as is. On Windows + systems vifm tries to find correct home directory in the following or- + der: + - $HOME variable; + - $USERPROFILE variable (on Windows only); + - a combination of $HOMEDRIVE and $HOMEPATH variables (on Windows + only). + + vifm tries to find correct configuration directory by checking the fol- + lowing places: + - $VIFM variable; + - parent directory of the executable file (on Windows only); + - $HOME/.vifm directory; + - $APPDATA/Vifm directory (on Windows only); + - $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vifm directory; + - $HOME/.config/vifm directory. + + vifm tries to find correct configuration file by checking the following + places: + - $MYVIFMRC variable; + - vifmrc in parent directory of the executable file (on Windows only); + - $VIFM/vifmrc file. + +Configure + See "Startup" section above for the explanations on $VIFM and $MYV- + IFMRC. + + The vifmrc file contains commands that will be executed on vifm + startup. There are two such files: global and local. Global one is at + {prefix}/etc/vifm/vifmrc, see $MYVIFMRC variable description for the + search algorithm used to find local vifmrc. Global vifmrc is loaded + before the local one, so that the later one can redefine anything con- + figured globally. + + Use vifmrc to set settings, mappings, filetypes etc. To use multi line + commands precede each next line with a slash (whitespace before slash + is ignored, but all spaces at the end of the lines are saved). For ex- + ample: + + set + \smartcase + + equals "setsmartcase". When + + set + \ smartcase + + equals "set smartcase". + + The $VIFM/vifminfo file contains session settings. You may edit it by + hand to change the settings, but it's not recommended to do that, edit + vifmrc instead. You can control what settings will be saved in + vifminfo by setting 'vifminfo' option. Vifm always writes this file on + exit unless 'vifminfo' option is empty. Marks, bookmarks, commands, + histories, filetypes, fileviewers and registers in the file are merged + with vifm configuration (which has bigger priority). + + Generally, runtime configuration has bigger priority during merging, + but there are some exceptions: + + - directory stack stored in the file is not overwritten unless some- + thing is changed in vifm session that performs merge; + + - each mark or bookmark is marked with a timestamp, so that newer + value is not overwritten by older one, thus no matter from where it + comes, the newer one wins. + + The $VIFM/scripts directory can contain shell scripts. vifm modifies + its PATH environment variable to let user run those scripts without + specifying full path. All subdirectories of the $VIFM/scripts will be + added to PATH too. Script in a subdirectory overlaps script with the + same name in all its parent directories. + + The $VIFM/colors/ and {prefix}/etc/vifm/colors/ directories contain + color schemes. Available color schemes are searched in that order, so + on name conflict the one in $VIFM/colors/ wins. + + Each color scheme should have ".vifm" extension. This wasn't the case + before and for this reason the following rules apply during lookup: + + - if there is no file with .vifm extension, all regular files are + listed; + + - otherwise only files with .vifm extension are listed (with the ex- + tension being truncated). + +Automatic FUSE mounts + vifm has a builtin support of automated FUSE file system mounts. It is + implemented using file associations mechanism. To enable automated + mounts, one needs to use a specially formatted program line in filetype + or filextype commands. These use special macros, which differ from + macros in commands unrelated to FUSE. Currently three formats are sup- + ported: + + 1) FUSE_MOUNT This format should be used in case when all information + needed for mounting all files of a particular type is the same. E.g. + mounting of tar files don't require any file specific options. + + Format line: + FUSE_MOUNT|mounter %SOURCE_FILE %DESTINATION_DIR [%FOREGROUND] + + Example filetype command: + + :filetype FUSE_MOUNT|fuse-zip %SOURCE_FILE %DESTINATION_DIR + + 2) FUSE_MOUNT2 This format allows one to use specially formatted files + to perform mounting and is useful for mounting remotes, for example re- + mote file systems over ftp or ssh. + + Format line: + FUSE_MOUNT2|mounter %PARAM %DESTINATION_DIR [%FOREGROUND] + + Example filetype command: + + :filetype *.ssh FUSE_MOUNT2|sshfs %PARAM %DESTINATION_DIR + + Example file content: + + root@127.0.0.1:/ + + 3) FUSE_MOUNT3 + + This format is equivalent to FUSE_MOUNT, but omits unmounting. It is + useful for cases, when unmounting isn't needed, like when using AVFS. + + Example :filetype command: + + :filetype *.tar,*.tar.bz2,*.tbz2,*.tgz,*.tar.gz,*.tar.xz,*.txz,*.deb + \ {Mount with avfs} + \ FUSE_MOUNT3|mount-avfs %DESTINATION_DIR %SOURCE_FILE + + Example `mount-avfs` helper script: + + #!/bin/sh + + dest=$1 + file=$2 + + rmdir "$dest" + ln -s "$HOME/.avfs$file#/" "$dest" + + All % macros are expanded by vifm at runtime and have the following + meaning: + - %SOURCE_FILE is replaced by full path to selected file; + - %DESTINATION_DIR is replaced by full path to mount directory, which + is created by vifm basing on the value of 'fusehome' option; + - %PARAM value is filled from the first line of file (whole line), + though in the future it can be changed to whole file content; + - %FOREGROUND means that you want to run mount command as a regular + command (required to be able to provide input for communication with + mounter in interactive way). + + %FOREGROUND is an optional macro. Other macros are not mandatory, but + mount commands likely won't work without them. + + %CLEAR is obsolete name of %FOREGROUND, which is still supported, but + might be removed in future. Its use is discouraged. + + Unlike macros elsewhere, these are recognized only if they appear at + the end of a command or are followed by a space. There is no way to + escape % either. These are historical limitations, which might be ad- + dressed in the future. + + The mounted FUSE file systems will be automatically unmounted in two + cases: + + - when vifm quits (with ZZ, :q, etc. or when killed by signal); + + - when you explicitly leave mount point going up to its parent direc- + tory (with h, Enter on "../" or ":cd ..") and other pane is not in + the same directory or its child directories. + +View look + vifm supports displaying of file list view in two different ways: + + - in a table mode, when multiple columns can be set using 'view- + columns' option (see "Column view" section below for details); + + - in a multicolumn list manner which looks almost like `ls -x` com- + mand output (see "ls-like view" section below for details). + + The look is local for each view and can be chosen by changing value of + the 'lsview' boolean option. + + Depending on view look some of keys change their meaning to allow more + natural cursor moving. This concerns mainly h, j, k, l and other simi- + lar navigation keys. + + Also some of options can be ignored if they don't affect view display- + ing in selected look. For example value of 'viewcolumns' when 'lsview' + is set. + +ls-like view + When this view look is enabled by setting 'lsview' option on, vifm will + display files in multiple columns. Number of columns depends on the + length of the longest file name present in current directory of the + view. Whole file list is automatically reflowed on directory change, + terminal or view resize. + + View looks close to output of `ls -x` command, so files are listed left + to right in rows. + + In this mode file manipulation commands (e.g. d) don't work line-wise + like they do in Vim, since such operations would be uncommon for file + manipulation tasks. Thus, for example, dd will remove only current + file. + + By default the view is filled by lines, 'lsoptions' can be used to get + filling by columns. + + Note that tree-view and compare view inhibit ls-like view. + +Column view + View columns are described by a comma-separated list of column descrip- + tions, each of which has the following format + [ '-' ] [ fw ( [ '.' tw ] | '%' ) ] '{' type '}' '.'{0,3} + where fw stands for full width and tw stands for text width. + + So it basically consists of four parts: + 1. Optional alignment specifier + 2. Optional width specifier + 3. Mandatory column name + 4. Optional cropping specifier + + Alignment specifier + + It's an optional minus or asterisk sign as the first symbol of the + string. + + Specifies type of text alignment within a column. Three types are sup- + ported: + + - left align + + set viewcolumns=-{name} + + - right align (default) + + set viewcolumns={name} + + - dynamic align + + It's like left alignment, but when the text is bigger than the col- + umn, the alignment is made at the right (so the part of the field is + always visible). + + set viewcolumns=*{name} + + Width specifier + + It's a number followed by a percent sign, two numbers (second one + should be less than or equal to the first one) separated with a dot or + a single number. + + Specifies column width and its units. There are three size types: + + - absolute size - column width is specified in characters + + set viewcolumns=-100{name},20.15{ext} + + results in two columns with lengths of 100 and 20 and a reserved + space of five characters on the left of second column. + + - relative (percent) size - column width is specified in percents of + view width + + set viewcolumns=-80%{name},15%{ext},5%{mtime} + + results in three columns with lengths of 80/100, 15/100 and 5/100 of + view width. + + - auto size (default) - column width is automatically determined + + set viewcolumns=-{name},{ext},{mtime} + + results in three columns with length of one third of view width. + There is no size adjustment to content, since it will slow down ren- + dering. + + Columns of different sizing types can be freely mixed in one view. + Though sometimes some of columns can be seen partly or be completely + invisible if there is not enough space to display them. + + Column name + + This is just a sort key surrounded with curly braces or {root}, e.g. + + {name},{ext},{mtime} + + {name} and {iname} keys are the same and present both for consistency + with 'sort' option. + + Following keys don't have corresponding sorting keys: + + - {root} - display name without extension (as a complement for + {ext}) + + - {fileroot} - display name without extension for anything except for + directories and symbolic links to directories (as a complement for + {fileext}) + + Empty curly braces ({}) are replaced with the default secondary column + for primary sort key. So after the next command view will be displayed + almost as if 'viewcolumns' is empty, but adding ellipsis for long file + names: + + set viewcolumns=-{name}..,6{}. + + Cropping specifier + + It's from one to three dots after closing curly brace in column format. + + Specifies type of text truncation if it doesn't fit in the column. + Currently three types are supported: + + - truncation - text is truncated + + set viewcolumns=-{name}. + + results in truncation of names that are too long too fit in the + view. + + - adding of ellipsis - ellipsis on the left or right are added when + needed + + set viewcolumns=-{name}.. + + results in that ellipsis are added at the end of too long file + names. + + - none (default) - text can pass column boundaries + + set viewcolumns=-{name}...,{ext} + + results in that long file names can partially be written on the ext + column. + +Color schemes + The color schemes in vifm can be applied in two different ways: + + - as the primary color scheme; + + - as local to a pane color scheme. + + Both types are set using :colorscheme command, but of different forms: + + - :colorscheme color_scheme_name - for the primary color scheme; + + - :colorscheme color_scheme_name directory - for local color schemes. + + Look of different parts of the TUI (Text User Interface) is determined + in this way: + + - Border, TabLine, TabLineSel, TopLineSel, TopLine, CmdLine, Er- + rorMsg, StatusLine, JobLine, SuggestBox and WildMenu are always de- + termined by the primary color scheme; + + - CurrLine, Selected, Directory, Link, BrokenLink, Socket, Device, + Executable, Fifo, CmpMismatch, Win, AuxWin and OtherWin are deter- + mined by primary color scheme and a set of local color schemes, + which can be empty. + + There might be a set of local color schemes because they are structured + hierarchically according to file system structure. For example, having + the following piece of file system: + + ~ + `-- bin + | + `-- my + + Two color schemes: + + # ~/.vifm/colors/for_bin + highlight Win cterm=none ctermfg=white ctermbg=red + highlight CurrLine cterm=none ctermfg=red ctermbg=black + + # ~/.vifm/colors/for_bin_my + highlight CurrLine cterm=none ctermfg=green ctermbg=black + + And these three commands in the vifmrc file: + + colorscheme Default + colorscheme for_bin ~/bin + colorscheme for_bin_my ~/bin/my + + File list will look in the following way for each level: + + - ~/ - Default color scheme + black background + cursor with blue background + + - ~/bin/ - mix of Default and for_bin color schemes + red background + cursor with black background and red foreground + + - ~/bin/my/ - mix of Default, for_bin and for_bin_my color schemes + red background + cursor with black background and green foreground + +Trash directory + vifm has support of trash directory, which is used as temporary storage + for deleted files or files that were cut. Using trash is controlled by + the 'trash' option, and exact path to the trash can be set with + 'trashdir' option. Trash directory in vifm differs from the system- + wide one by default, because of possible incompatibilities of storing + deleted files among different file managers. But one can set + 'trashdir' to "~/.local/share/Trash" to use a "standard" trash direc- + tory. + + There are two scenarios of using trash in vifm: + + 1. As a place for storing files that were cut by "d" and may be in- + serted to some other place in file system. + + 2. As a storage of files, that are deleted but not purged yet. + + The first scenario uses deletion ("d") operations to put files to trash + and put ("p") operations to restore files from trash directory. Note + that such operations move files to and from trash directory, which can + be long term operations in case of different partitions or remote + drives mounted locally. + + The second scenario uses deletion ("d") operations for moving files to + trash directory and :empty command-line command to purge all previously + deleted files. + + Deletion and put operations depend on registers, which can point to + files in trash directory. Normally, there are no nonexistent files in + registers, but vifm doesn't keep track of modifications under trash di- + rectory, so one shouldn't expect value of registers to be absolutely + correct if trash directory was modified not by operation that are meant + for it. But this won't lead to any issues with operations, since they + ignore nonexistent files. + +Client-Server + vifm supports remote execution of command-line mode commands, remote + changing of directories and expression evaluation. This is possible + using --remote and --remote-expr command-line arguments. + + To execute a command remotely combine --remote argument with -c or +. For example: + + vifm --remote -c 'cd /' + vifm --remote '+cd /' + + To change directory not using command-line mode commands one can spec- + ify paths right after --remote argument, like this: + + vifm --remote / + vifm --remote ~ + vifm --remote /usr/bin /tmp + + Evaluating expression remotely might be useful to query information + about an instance, for example its location: + + vifm --remote-expr 'expand("%d")' + + If there are several running instances, the target can be specified + with --server-name option (otherwise, the first one lexicographically + is used): + + vifm --server-name work --remote ~/work/project + + List of names of running instances can be obtained via --server-list + option. Name of the current one is available via v:servername. + + + v:servername + server name of the running vifm instance. Empty if client- + server feature is disabled. + +Plugin + Plugin for using vifm in vim as a file selector. + + Commands: + + :EditVifm select a file or files to open in the current buffer. + :Vifm alias for :EditVifm. + :SplitVifm split buffer and select a file or files to open. + :VsplitVifm vertically split buffer and select a file or files to + open. + :DiffVifm select a file or files to compare to the current file + with + :vert diffsplit. + :TabVifm select a file or files to open in tabs. + + Each command accepts up to two arguments: left pane directory and right + pane directory. After arguments are checked, vifm process is spawned + in a special "file-picker" mode. To pick files just open them either + by pressing l, i or Enter keys, or by running :edit command. If no + files are selected, file under the cursor is opened, otherwise whole + selection is passed to the plugin and opened in vim. + + The plugin have only two settings. It's a string variable named + g:vifm_term to let user specify command to run GUI terminal. By de- + fault it's equal to 'xterm -e'. And another string variable named + g:vifm_exec, which equals "vifm" by default and specifies path to + vifm's executable. To pass arguments to vifm use g:vifm_exec_args, + which is empty by default. + + To use the plugin copy the vifm.vim file to either the system wide + vim/plugin directory or into ~/.vim/plugin. + + If you would prefer not to use the plugin and it is in the system wide + plugin directory add + + let loaded_vifm=1 + + to your ~/.vimrc file. + +Reserved + The following command names are reserved and shouldn't be used for user + commands. + + g[lobal] + v[global] + +ENVIRONMENT + VIFM Points to main configuration directory (usually ~/.vifm/). + + MYVIFMRC + Points to main configuration file (usually ~/.vifm/vifmrc). + + These environment variables are valid inside vifm and also can be used + to configure it by setting some of them before running vifm. + + When $MYVIFMRC isn't set, it's made as $VIFM/vifmrc (exception for Win- + dows: vifmrc in the same directory as vifm.exe has higher priority than + $VIFM/vifmrc). + + See "Startup" section above for more details. + + VIFM_FUSE_FILE + On execution of external commands this variable is set to the + full path of file used to initiate FUSE mount of the closes + mount point from current pane directory up.
