- zm filter all the .dot files
- zf filter all the selected files
- This will work with all selecting methods. Visually selecting files,
- using a / search pattern or in combination with 't'.
- :fil[ter] regular expression
- :in[vert] invert the filter
- All directorys will show the ../ file no matter what the filter setting is
- with the exception of the / directory.
- Each file list has its own filter.
- filtered files are not checked in / search or :commands
-
- file name filters can be set with :com name fil pattern
- :com ofiles fil \.o$
-
-Configuration.
-
- The default configuration file is ~/.vifm/vifmrc.
- If you want to change any settings vifm must not be running when you edit
- the file as it will overwrite any changes you make when it exits.
-
- Screen configuration. If you use the screen program, vifm can be configured
- to use a new screen window for opening files or running :!programs.
-
-Misc.
- Ctrl-c or Escape to clear all selected files
-
- vifm.vim is a vim plugin that allows the use of vifm from vim. It is
- included in the source tarball but it is not installed by default and must
- be manually placed in either the default vim/plugin directory or in
- ~/.vim/plugin/
- To use vifm to load a file into a running vim use the following commands:
- :Edit - open a file in the current buffer.
- :Split - split the buffer and open a file.
- :Vsplit - vertically split a buffer and open a file.
- :Diff - open a file to compare to the current file using the vim :diff
- command.
- You can edit the vifm.vim script to change the command name used if they
- conflict with other user commands.
-
- Starting options:
- /full/path/to/directoryone - using vifm /usr/local will start vifm
- with the /usr/local directory. The default is to start vifm in
- the current directory.
- /full/path/to/directorytwo - using two full paths will start vifm with
- the first path in the left file list and the second path in the right
- file list.
- --version - will print the version number and exit.
- --help - will show help file.
- -f - will run vifm but selecting a file will write the file name to
- ~/.vifm/vimfiles instead of opening the file. This is used for the
- vifm.vim script to load files from vifm into a running vim.
-
