NAME
       vifm - vi file manager

SYNOPSIS
       vifm [OPTION]...
       vifm [OPTION]... path
       vifm [OPTION]... path path

DESCRIPTION
       Vifm is an ncurses based file manager with vi like keybindings.	If you
       use vi, vifm gives you complete keyboard control over your files	 with-
       out having to learn a new set of commands.

OPTIONS
       vifm starts in the current directory unless it is given a different di-
       rectory on the command line or 'vifminfo'  option  includes  "savedirs"
       (in which case last visited directories are used as defaults).

       -      Read list of files from standard input stream and compose custom
	      view out of them (see "Custom views" section).  Current  working
	      directory is used as a base for relative paths.

       <path> Starts Vifm in the specified path.

       <path> <path>
	      Starts Vifm in the specified paths.

       Specifying  two	directories  triggers split view even when vifm was in
       single-view mode on finishing previous session.	To suppress  this  be-
       haviour :only command can be put in the vifmrc file.

       When only one path argument is found on command-line, the left/top pane
       is automatically set as the current view.

       Paths to files are also allowed in case you want	 vifm  to  start  with
       some archive opened.

       --select <path>
	      Open  parent  directory  of  the given path and select specified
	      file in it.

       -f     Makes  vifm  instead  of	opening	 files	write	selection   to
	      $VIFM/vimfiles and quit.

       --choose-files <path>|-
	      Sets  output  file  to  write  selection into on exit instead of
	      opening files.  "-" means standard output.  Use empty  value  to
	      disable it.

       --choose-dir <path>|-
	      Sets  output  file to write last visited directory into on exit.
	      "-" means standard output.  Use empty value to disable it.

       --delimiter <delimiter>
	      Sets separator for list of  file	paths  written	out  by	 vifm.
	      Empty  value  means null character.  Default is new line charac-
	      ter.

       --on-choose <command>
	      Sets command to be executed on selected files instead of opening
	      them.   The  command may use any of macros described in "Command
	      macros" section below.  The command is executed once  for	 whole
	      selection.

       --logging[=<startup log path>]
	      Log some operational details $VIFM/log.  If the optional startup
	      log path is specified and permissions allow to open it for writ-
	      ing, then logging of early initialization (before value of $VIFM
	      is determined) is put there.

       --server-list
	      List available server names and exit.

       --server-name <name>
	      Name of target or this instance (sequential numbers are appended
	      on name conflict).

       --remote
	      Sends  the rest of the command line to another instance of vifm,
	      --server-name is treated just like any other argument and should
	      precede  --remote on the command line.  When there is no server,
	      quits silently.  There is no limit on how many arguments can  be
	      processed.  One can combine --remote with -c <command> or +<com-
	      mand> to execute commands in already running instance  of	 vifm.
	      See also "Client-Server" section below.

       --remote-expr
	      passes  expression  to  vifm server and prints result.  See also
	      "Client-Server" section below.

       -c <command> or +<command>
	      Run command-line mode <command> on startup.   Commands  in  such
	      arguments are executed in the order they appear in command line.
	      Commands with spaces or special symbols must be enclosed in dou-
	      ble  or  single  quotes or all special symbols should be escaped
	      (the exact syntax strongly depends on shell).  "+"  argument  is
	      equivalent to "$" and thus picks last item of of the view.

       --help, -h
	      Show a brief command summary and exit vifm.

       --version, -v
	      Show version information and quit.

       --no-configs
	      Skip reading vifmrc and vifminfo.


       See "Startup" section below for the explanations on $VIFM.

General keys
       Ctrl-C or Escape
	      cancel most operations (see "Cancellation" section below), clear
	      all selected files.

       Ctrl-L clear and redraw the screen.

Basic Movement
       The basic vi key bindings are used to move through the files and pop-up
       windows.

       k, gk, or Ctrl-P
	      move cursor up one line.

       j, gj or Ctrl-N
	      move cursor down one line.

       h      when  'lsview' is off move up one directory (moves to parent di-
	      rectory node in tree view), otherwise move left one file.

       l      when 'lsview' is off move into a directory or launches  a	 file,
	      otherwise move right one file.

       gg     move to the first line of the file list.

       G      move to the last line in the file list.

       gh     go  up one directory regardless of view representation (regular,
	      ls-like).	 Also can be used to leave custom views including tree
	      view.

       gl or Enter
	      enter directory or launch a file.

       H      move to the first file in the window.

       M      move to the file in the middle of the window.

       L      move to the last file in the window.

       Ctrl-F or Page Down
	      move forward one page.

       Ctrl-B or Page Up
	      move back one page.

       Ctrl-D jump back one half page.

       Ctrl-U jump forward one half page.

       n%     move to the file that is n percent from the top of the list (for
	      example 25%).

       0 or ^ move cursor to the first column.	See 'lsview'  option  descrip-
	      tion.

       $      move  cursor  to	the last column.  See 'lsview' option descrip-
	      tion.

       Space  switch file lists.

       gt     switch to the next tab (wrapping around).

       {n}gt  switch to the tab number {n} (wrapping around).

       gT     switch to the previous tab (wrapping around).

       {n}gT  switch to {n}-th previous tab.

Movement with Count
       Most movement commands also accept a count,  12j	 would	move  down  12
       files.

       [count]%
	      move to percent of the file list.

       [count]j
	      move down [count] files.

       [count]k
	      move up [count] files.

       [count]G or [count]gg
	      move to list position [count].

       [count]h
	      go up [count] directories.

Scrolling panes
       zt     redraw pane with file in top of list.

       zz     redraw pane with file in center of list.

       zb     redraw pane with file in bottom of list.

       Ctrl-E scroll pane one line down.

       Ctrl-Y scroll pane one line up.

Pane manipulation
       Second character can be entered with or without Control key.

       Ctrl-W H
	      move the pane to the far left.

       Ctrl-W J
	      move the pane to the very bottom.

       Ctrl-W K
	      move the pane to the very top.

       Ctrl-W L
	      move the pane to the far right.


       Ctrl-W h
	      switch to the left pane.

       Ctrl-W j
	      switch to the pane below.

       Ctrl-W k
	      switch to the pane above.

       Ctrl-W l
	      switch to the right pane.


       Ctrl-W b
	      switch to bottom-right window.

       Ctrl-W t
	      switch to top-left window.


       Ctrl-W p
	      switch to previous window.

       Ctrl-W w
	      switch to other pane.


       Ctrl-W o
	      leave only one pane.

       Ctrl-W s
	      split window horizontally.

       Ctrl-W v
	      split window vertically.


       Ctrl-W x
	      exchange panes.

       Ctrl-W z
	      quit preview pane or view modes.


       Ctrl-W -
	      decrease size of the view by count.

       Ctrl-W +
	      increase size of the view by count.

       Ctrl-W <
	      decrease size of the view by count.

       Ctrl-W >
	      increase size of the view by count.


       Ctrl-W |
	      set current view size to count.

       Ctrl-W _
	      set current view size to count.

       Ctrl-W =
	      make size of two views equal.

       For  Ctrl-W +, Ctrl-W -, Ctrl-W <, Ctrl-W >, Ctrl-W | and Ctrl-W _ com-
       mands count can be given before and/or  after  Ctrl-W.	The  resulting
       count  is  a  multiplication of those two.  So "2 Ctrl-W 2 -" decreases
       window size by 4 lines or columns.

       Ctrl-W | and Ctrl-W _ maximise current view by default.

Marks
       Marks are set the same way as they are in vi.

       You can use these characters for marks [a-z][A-Z][0-9].

       m[a-z][A-Z][0-9]
	      set a mark for the file at the current cursor position.

       '[a-z][A-Z][0-9]
	      navigate to the file set for the mark.


       There are also several special marks that can't be set manually:

	 - ' (single quote) - previously visited directory of the  view,  thus
	   hitting '' allows switching between two last locations

	 - < - the first file of the last visually selected block

	 - > - the last file of the last visually selected block

Searching
       /regular expression pattern
	      search  for  files matching regular expression in forward direc-
	      tion and advance cursor to next match.

       /      perform forward search with top item of search pattern history.

       ?regular expression pattern
	      search for files matching regular expression in backward	direc-
	      tion and advance cursor to previous match.

       ?      perform backward search with top item of search pattern history.

       Trailing	 slash	for directories is taken into account, so /\/ searches
       for directories and symbolic links to directories.  At  the  moment  //
       works  too, but this can change in the future, so consider escaping the
       slash if not typing pattern by hand.

       Matches are automatically selected  if  'hlsearch'  is  set.   Enabling
       'incsearch' makes search interactive.  'ignorecase' and 'smartcase' op-
       tions affect case sensitivity of search queries.


       [count]n
	      go to the next file matching last search	pattern.   Takes  last
	      search direction into account.

       [count]N
	      go  to  the  previous  file matching last search pattern.	 Takes
	      last search direction into account.

       If 'hlsearch' option is set, hitting n/N to perform search  and	go  to
       the first matching item resets current selection in normal mode.	 It is
       not the case if search was already performed on files in the directory,
       thus  selection	is  not reset after clearing selection with escape key
       and hitting n/N key again.

       Note: vifm uses extended regular expressions for / and ?.


       [count]f[character]
	      search forward for file with [character] as first	 character  in
	      name.  Search wraps around the end of the list.

       [count]F[character]
	      search  backward for file with [character] as first character in
	      name.  Search wraps around the end of the list.

       [count];
	      find the next match of f or F.

       [count],
	      find the previous match of f or F.

       Note: f, F, ; and , wrap around list beginning and end  when  they  are
       used alone and they don't wrap when they are used as selectors.

File Filters
       There are three basic file filters:

	 - dot files filter (does not affect "." and ".." special directories,
	   whose appearance is controlled by the 'dotdirs' option), see	 'dot-
	   files' option;

	 - permanent filter;

	 - local filter (see description of the "=" normal mode command).

       Permanent  filter  essentially  allows  defining a group of files names
       which are not desirable to be seen by default, like temporary or backup
       files,  which  might  be	 created alongside normal ones.	 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] generates range.

       q:     open external editor to prompt for  command-line	command.   See
	      "Command line editing" section for details.

       q/     open external editor to prompt for search pattern to be searched
	      in forward direction.  See "Command line	editing"  section  for
	      details.

       q?     open external editor to prompt for search pattern to be searched
	      in backward direction.  See "Command line editing"  section  for
	      details.

       q=     open external editor to prompt for filter pattern.  See "Command
	      line editing" section for details.  Unlike other	q{x}  commands
	      this one doesn't work in Visual mode.

       [count]!! and [count]!<selector>
	      enter  command  line mode with entered ! command.	 [count] modi-
	      fies range.

       Ctrl-O go backwards through directory history of current view.	Nonex-
	      istent directories are automatically skipped.

       Ctrl-I if  'cpoptions' contains "t" flag, <tab> and <c-i> switch active
	      pane just like <space> does, otherwise it goes  forward  through
	      directory	 history of current view.  Nonexistent directories are
	      automatically skipped.

       Ctrl-G create a window showing detailed information about  the  current
	      file.

       Shift-Tab
	      enters  view  mode  (works  only after activating view pane with
	      :view command).

       ga     calculate directory size.	 Uses cached directory sizes when pos-
	      sible  for  better  performance.	 As a special case calculating
	      size of ".." entry results in calculation of size of current di-
	      rectory.

       gA     like  ga,	 but  force  update.   Ignores old values of directory
	      sizes.

       If file under cursor is selected, each selected item is processed, oth-
       erwise only current file is updated.

       gf     find  link  destination (like l with 'followlinks' off, but also
	      finds directories).

       gr     only for MS-Windows
	      same as l key, but tries	to  run	 program  with	administrative
	      privileges.

       av     go  to visual mode into selection amending state preserving cur-
	      rent selection.

       gv     go to visual mode restoring last selection.

       [reg]gs
	      when no register is specified, restore last t selection (similar
	      to  what	gv  does  for  visual mode selection).	If register is
	      present, then all files listed in that register  and  which  are
	      visible in current view are selected.

       gu<selector>
	      make names of selected files lowercase.

       [count]guu and [count]gugu
	      make names of [count] files starting from the current one lower-
	      case.  Without [count] only current file is affected.

       gU<selector>
	      make names of selected files uppercase.

       [count]gUU and [count]gUgU
	      make names of [count] files starting from the current one upper-
	      case.  Without [count] only current file is affected.

       e      explore file in the current pane.

       i      handle  file (even if it's an executable and 'runexec' option is
	      set).

       cw     change word is used to rename a file or files.

       cW     change WORD is used to change only name of file (without	exten-
	      sion).

       cl     change link target.

       co     only for *nix
	      change file owner.

       cg     only for *nix
	      change file group.

       [count]cp
	      change  file  attributes	(permission  on *nix and properties on
	      Windows).	 If [count] is specified, it's	treated	 as  numerical
	      argument	 for   non-recursive  `chmod`  command	(of  the  form
	      [0-7]{3,4}).

       [count]C
	      clone file [count] times.

       [count]dd or d[count]selector
	      move selected file or files to trash directory (if  'trash'  op-
	      tion  is	set, otherwise delete).	 See "Trash directory" section
	      below.

       [count]DD or D[count]selector
	      like dd and d<selector>, but omitting trash directory (even when
	      'trash' option is set).

       Y, [count]yy or y[count]selector
	      yank selected files.

       p      copy  yanked files to the current directory or move the files to
	      the current directory if they were deleted with dd or  :d[elete]
	      or  if  the  files were yanked from trash directory.  See "Trash
	      directory" section below.

       P      move the last yanked files.  The advantage of using P instead of
	      d followed by p is that P moves files only once.	This isn't im-
	      portant in case you're moving files  in  the  same  file	system
	      where  your home directory is, but using P to move files on some
	      other file system (or file systems, in case  you	want  to  move
	      files  from  fs1	to  fs2 and your home is on fs3) can save your
	      time.

       al     put symbolic links with absolute paths.

       rl     put symbolic links with relative paths.

       t      select or unselect (tag) the current file.

       u      undo last change.

       Ctrl-R redo last change.

       dp     in compare view of "ofboth grouppaths" kind, makes corresponding
	      entry of the other pane equal to the current one.	 The semantics
	      is as follows:
	       - nothing done for identical entries
	       - if file is missing in current view, its pair gets removed
	       - if file is missing or differs in other view, it's replaced
	       - file pairs are defined by matching relative paths
	      File removal obeys 'trash' option.  When the option is  enabled,
	      the  operation  can  be undone/redone (although results won't be
	      visible automatically).
	      Unlike in Vim, this operation is	performed  on  a  single  line
	      rather than a set of adjacent changes.

       do     same as dp, but applies changes in the opposite direction.

       v or V enter visual mode, clears current selection.

       [count]Ctrl-A
	      increment first number in file name by [count] (1 by default).

       [count]Ctrl-X
	      decrement first number in file name by [count] (1 by default).

       ZQ     same as :quit!.

       ZZ     same as :quit.

       .      repeat  last  command-line  command (not normal mode command) of
	      this session (does nothing right after startup or :restart  com-
	      mand).   The  command doesn't depend on command-line history and
	      can be used with completely disabled history.

       (      go to previous group.  Groups are	 defined  by  primary  sorting
	      key.   For  name and iname members of each group have same first

       {      speeds up navigation to closest previous entry of	 the  opposite
	      type  by	moving to the first file backwards when cursor is on a
	      directory and to the first directory backwards when cursor is on
	      a	 file.	This is essentially a special case of ( that is locked
	      on "dirs".

       zj     go to next directory sibling of current entry or do nothing.

       zk     go to previous directory sibling of current entry or do nothing.

Using Count
       You can use count with commands like yy.

       [count]yy
	      yank count files starting from current cursor position downward.

       Or you can use count with motions passed to y, d or D.

       d[count]j
	      delete (count + 1) files starting from current  cursor  position
	      upward.

Registers
       vifm  supports  multiple registers for temporary storing list of yanked
       or deleted files.

       Registers should be specified by hitting double quote key followed by a
       register	 name.	 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.  Selection is cleared on leaving the
	      mode.

       o      switch active selection bound.

       O      switch active selection bound.

       gu, u  make names of selected files lowercase.

       gU, U  make names of selected files uppercase.

View Mode
       This mode tries to imitate the less program.  List of builtin shortcuts
       can be found below.  Shortcuts can be customized using :qmap, :qnoremap
       and :qunmap command-line commands.

       Shift-Tab, Tab, q, Q, ZZ
	      return to normal mode.

       [count]e, [count]Ctrl-E, [count]j, [count]Ctrl-N, [count]Enter
	      scroll forward one line (or [count] lines).

       [count]y, [count]Ctrl-Y, [count]k, [count]Ctrl-K, [count]Ctrl-P
	      scroll backward one line (or [count] lines).

       [count]f, [count]Ctrl-F, [count]Ctrl-V, [count]Space
	      scroll forward one window (or [count] lines).

       [count]b, [count]Ctrl-B, [count]Alt-V
	      scroll backward one window (or [count] lines).

       [count]z
	      scroll forward one window (and set window to [count]).

       [count]w
	      scroll backward one window (and set window to [count]).

       [count]Alt-Space
	      scroll forward one window, but don't stop at end-of-file.

       [count]d, [count]Ctrl-D
	      scroll forward one half-window (and set half-window to [count]).

       [count]u, [count]Ctrl-U
	      scroll  backward	one  half-window  (and	set   half-window   to
	      [count]).

       r, Ctrl-R, Ctrl-L
	      repaint screen.

       R      reload view preserving scroll position.

       F      toggle  automatic	 forwarding.   Roughly	equivalent to periodic
	      file reload and scrolling to the bottom.	The behaviour is simi-
	      lar to `tail -F` or F key in less.

       [count]/pattern
	      search forward for ([count]-th) matching line.

       [count]?pattern
	      search backward for ([count]-th) matching line.

       [count]n
	      repeat previous search (for [count]-th occurrence).

       [count]N
	      repeat  previous search in reverse direction (for [count]-th oc-
	      currence).

       [count]g, [count]<, [count]Alt-<
	      scroll to the first line of the file (or line [count]).

       [count]G, [count]>, [count]Alt->
	      scroll to the last line of the file (or line [count]).

       [count]p, [count]%
	      scroll to the beginning of the file (or N percent into file).

       v      invoke an editor to edit the current  file  being	 viewed.   The
	      command  for  editing  is taken from the 'vicmd'/'vixcmd' option
	      value and extended with middle line number prepended by  a  plus
	      sign and name of the current file.

       All  "Ctrl-W  x" keys work the same was as in Normal mode.  Active mode
       is automatically changed on navigating among windows.   When  less-like
       mode  activated	on  file preview is left using one by "Ctrl-W x" keys,
       its state is stored until another file is displayed using preview (it's
       possible	 to leave the mode, hide preview pane, do something else, then
       get back to the file and show preview pane again with previously stored
       state in it).

Command line Mode
       These keys are available in all submodes of the command line mode: com-
       mand, search, prompt and filtering.

       Down, Up, Left, Right, Home, End and Delete are extended keys and  they
       are  not available if vifm is compiled with --disable-extended-keys op-
       tion.

       Esc, Ctrl-C
	      leave command line mode,	cancels	 input.	  Cancelled  input  is
	      saved into appropriate history and can be recalled later.

       Ctrl-M, Enter
	      execute command and leave command line mode.

       Ctrl-I, Tab
	      complete command or its argument.

       Shift-Tab
	      complete in reverse order.

       Ctrl-_ stop completion and return original input.

       Ctrl-B, Left
	      move cursor to the left.

       Ctrl-F, Right
	      move cursor to the right.

       Ctrl-A, Home
	      go to line beginning.

       Ctrl-E, End
	      go to line end.

       Alt-B  go to the beginning of previous word.

       Alt-F  go to the end of next word.

       Ctrl-U remove  characters  from	cursor	position till the beginning of
	      line.

       Ctrl-K remove characters from cursor position till the end of line.

       Ctrl-H, Backspace
	      remove character before the cursor.

       Ctrl-D, Delete
	      remove character under the cursor.

       Ctrl-W remove characters from cursor position  till  the	 beginning  of
	      previous word.

       Alt-D  remove  characters  from	cursor	position till the beginning of
	      next word.

       Ctrl-T swap the order of current and previous character and move cursor
	      forward  or,  if	cursor past the end of line, swap the order of
	      two last characters in the line.

       Alt-.  insert last part of previous command to current cursor position.
	      Each next call will insert last part of older command.

       Ctrl-G edit command-line content in external editor.  See "Command line
	      editing" section for details.

       Ctrl-N recall more recent command-line from history.

       Ctrl-P recall older command-line from history.

       Up     recall more recent command-line from history, that begins as the
	      current command-line.

       Down   recall  older command-line from history, that begins as the cur-
	      rent command-line.

       Ctrl-] trigger abbreviation expansion.

Pasting special values
       The shortcuts listed below insert specified values into current	cursor
       position.  Last key of every shortcut references value that it inserts:
	 - c - [c]urrent file
	 - d - [d]irectory path
	 - e - [e]xtension of a file name
	 - r - [r]oot part of a file name
	 - t - [t]ail part of directory path

	 - a - [a]utomatic filter
	 - m - [m]anual filter
	 - = - local filter, which is bound to "=" in normal mode

       Values related to filelist in current pane are available through Ctrl-X
       prefix, while values from the other pane have  doubled  Ctrl-X  key  as
       their  prefix  (doubled Ctrl-X is presumably easier to type than upper-
       case letters; it's still easy to remap the keys to correspond to	 names
       of similar macros).

       Ctrl-X c
	      name of the current file of the active pane.

       Ctrl-X d
	      path to the current directory of the active pane.

       Ctrl-X e
	      extension of the current file of the active pane.

       Ctrl-X r
	      name root of current file of the active pane.

       Ctrl-X t
	      the  last	 component of path to the current directory of the ac-
	      tive pane.

       Ctrl-X Ctrl-X c
	      name of the current file of the inactive pane.

       Ctrl-X Ctrl-X d
	      path to the current directory of the inactive pane.

       Ctrl-X Ctrl-X e
	      extension of the current file of the inactive pane.

       Ctrl-X Ctrl-X r
	      name root of current file of the inactive pane.

       Ctrl-X Ctrl-X t
	      the last component of path to the current directory of the inac-
	      tive pane.


       Ctrl-X a
	      value of implicit permanent filter (old name "automatic") of the
	      active pane.

       Ctrl-X m
	      value of explicit permanent filter (old name  "manual")  of  the
	      active pane.

       Ctrl-X =
	      value of local filter of the active pane.


       Ctrl-X /
	      last pattern from search history.

Command line editing
       vifm provides a facility to edit several kinds of data, that is usually
       edited in command-line mode, in external editor (using  command	speci-
       fied  by 'vicmd' or 'vixcmd' option).  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<Enter>

       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.  An example:

	 if filetype('.') == 'reg' | execute '!!echo regular file' | endif

       :[count]

       :number
	      move to the file number.
	      :12 would move to the 12th file in the list.
	      :0 move to the top of the list.
	      :$ move to the bottom of the list.

       :[count]command
	      The  only	 builtin  :[count]command  are	:[count]d[elete]   and
	      :[count]y[ank].

       :d3    would  delete  three files starting at the current file position
	      moving down.

       :3d    would delete one file at the third line in the list.

       :command [args]

       :[range]!program
	      execute command via shell.  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.  Select-
	      ing an item in the menu opens corresponding man  page.   By  de-
	      fault  the  command  relies  on  the external "apropos" utility,
	      which can be customized by altering value	 of  the  'aproposprg'
	      option.

						:autocmd

       :au[tocmd] {event} {pat} {cmd}
	      register autocommand for the {event}, which can be:
		- DirEnter - triggered after directory is changed
	      Event name is case insensitive.

	      {pat}  is	 a  comma-separated  list  of modified globs patterns,
	      which can contain tilde or environment variables.	 All paths use
	      slash  ('/') as directory separator.  The pattern can start with
	      a '!', which negates it.	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.   To
	      list  any autocommands for specific pattern one can use * place-
	      holder in place of {event}.

       :au[tocmd]! [{event}] [{pat}]
	      remove autocommands that match given event-pattern  combination.
	      Syntax is the same as for listing above.

       :apropos
	      repeat last :apropos command.

						:bmark

       :bmark tag1 [tag2 [tag3...]]
	      bookmark current directory with specified tags.

       :bmark! path tag1 [tag2 [tag3...]]
	      same  as :bmark, but allows bookmarking specific path instead of
	      current directory.  This is for use in vifmrc and for  bookmark-
	      ing files.

	      Path  can contain macros that expand to single path (%c, %C, %d,
	      %D) or those that can expand to multiple paths, but contain only
	      one  (%f, %F, %rx).  The latter is done for convenience on using
	      the command interactively.  Complex macros that  include	spaces
	      (e.g. "%c:gs/ /_") should be escaped.

						:bmarks

       :bmarks
	      display all bookmarks in a menu.

       :bmarks [tag1 [tag2...]]
	      display  menu  of	 bookmarks  that  include all of the specified
	      tags.

						:bmgo

       :bmgo [tag1 [tag2...]]
	      when there are more than one match acts  exactly	like  :bmarks,
	      otherwise	 navigates  to	single match immediately (and fails if
	      there is no match).

						:cabbrev

       :ca[bbrev]
	      display menu of command-line mode abbreviations.

       :ca[bbrev] lhs-prefix
	      display command-line mode	 abbreviations	which  left-hand  side
	      starts with specified prefix.

       :ca[bbrev] lhs rhs
	      register	new  or	 overwrites existing abbreviation for command-
	      line mode.  rhs can contain spaces and any special sequences ac-
	      cepted  in  rhs of mappings (see "Mappings" section below).  Ab-
	      breviations are expanded non-recursively.

						:cnoreabbrev

       :cnorea[bbrev]
	      display menu of command-line mode abbreviations.

       :cnorea[bbrev] lhs-prefix
	      display command-line mode	 abbreviations	which  left-hand  side
	      starts with specified prefix.

       :cnorea[bbrev] lhs rhs
	      same  as :cabbrev, but mappings in rhs are ignored during expan-
	      sion.

						:cd

       :cd or :cd ~ or :cd $HOME
	      change to home directory.

       :cd -  go to the last visited directory.

       :cd ~/dir
	      change directory to ~/dir.

       :cd /curr/dir /other/dir
	      change directory of the current pane to /curr/dir and  directory
	      of  the other pane to /other/dir.	 Relative paths are assumed to
	      be relative to directory of current view.	 Command won't fail if
	      one  of directories is invalid.  All forms of the command accept
	      macros.

       :cd! /dir
	      same as :cd /dir /dir.

						:cds

       :cds[!] pattern string
	      navigate to path obtained by substituting first match in current
	      path.   Arguments	 can include slashes, but starting first argu-
	      ment with a separator will activate below form of	 the  command.
	      Specifying "!"  changes directory of both panes.

       Available flags:

	 - i  -	 ignore case (the 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase' options are not
	   used)

	 - I - don't ignore case (the 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase' options are
	   not used)

       :cds[!]/pattern/string/[flags]
	      same as above, but with :substitute-like syntax.	Other punctua-
	      tion characters can be used as separators.

						:change

       :c[hange]
	      create a menu window to alter a files properties.

						:chmod

       :[range]chmod
	      display file attributes (permission on *nix  and	properties  on
	      Windows) change dialog.

       :[range]chmod[!] arg...
	      only for *nix
	      change permissions for files.  See `man 1 chmod` for arg format.
	      "!" means set permissions recursively.

						:chown

       :[range]chown
	      only for *nix
	      same as co key in normal mode.

       :[range]chown [user][:][group]
	      only for *nix
	      change owner and/or group of files.  Operates on directories re-
	      cursively.

						:clone

       :[range]clone[!?]
	      clones  files  in current directory.  With "?" vifm will open vi
	      to edit file names.  "!" forces overwrite.  Macros are expanded.

       :[range]clone[!] path
	      clones files to directory specified with the path	 (absolute  or
	      relative	to  current directory).	 "!" forces overwrite.	Macros
	      are expanded.

       :[range]clone[!] name1 name2...
	      clones files in current directory giving each next clone a  cor-
	      responding  name	from the argument list.	 "!" forces overwrite.
	      Macros are expanded.

						:colorscheme

       :colo[rscheme]?
	      print current color scheme name on the status bar.

       :colo[rscheme]
	      display a menu with a list of available color schemes.  You  can
	      choose primary color scheme here.	 It is used for view if no di-
	      rectory specific colorscheme fits current path.  It's also  used
	      to set border color (except view titles) and colors in menus and
	      dialogs.

       :colo[rscheme] color_scheme_name
	      change primary color scheme to color_scheme_name.	  In  case  of
	      errors  (e.g.  some colors are not supported by terminal) either
	      nothing is changed or color scheme is reset to builtin colors to
	      ensure that TUI is left in a usable state.

       :colo[rscheme] color_scheme_name directory
	      associate	 directory with the color scheme.  The directory argu-
	      ment can be either absolute or relative path  when  :colorscheme
	      command  is  executed from command line, but mandatory should be
	      an absolute path when the command is executed in scripts	loaded
	      at startup (until vifm is completely loaded).

       :colo[rscheme] color_scheme_name color_scheme_name...
	      loads  the first color scheme in the order given that exists and
	      is supported by the terminal.  If none matches, current one  re-
	      mains unchanged.	For example:

		" use a separate color scheme for panes which are inside FUSE mounts
		execute 'colorscheme in-fuse' &fusehome

						:comclear

       :comc[lear]
	      remove all user defined commands.

						:command

       :com[mand]
	      display a menu of user commands.

       :com[mand] beginning
	      display user defined commands that start with the beginning.

       :com[mand] name action
	      set a new user command.
	      Trying  to  use  a reserved command name will result in an error
	      message.
	      Use :com[mand]! to overwrite a previously set command.
	      Unlike vim user commands do not have to  start  with  a  capital
	      letter.	User commands are run in a shell by default.  To run a
	      command in the background you must set it as a  background  com-
	      mand with & at the end of the commands action (:com rm rm %f &).
	      Command name cannot contain numbers or special  symbols  (except
	      '?' and '!').

       :com[mand] name /pattern
	      set search pattern.

       :com[mand] name =pattern
	      set local filter value.

       :com[mand] name filter{:filter args}
	      set file name filter (see :filter command description).  For ex-
	      ample:

		" display only audio files
		:command onlyaudio filter/.+.\(mp3|wav|mp3|flac|ogg|m4a|wma|ape\)$/i
		" display everything except audio files
		:command noaudio filter!/.+.\(mp3|wav|mp3|flac|ogg|m4a|wma|ape\)$/i

       :com[mand] cmd :commands
	      set kind of an alias for internal command	 (like	in  a  shell).
	      Passes  range  given  to alias to an aliased command, so running
	      :%cp after
		:command cp :copy %a
	      equals
		:%copy

						:compare

       :compare [byname |  bysize  |  bycontents  |  listall  |	 listunique  |
       listdups | ofboth | ofone | groupids | grouppaths | skipempty]...
	      compare  files in one or two views according the arguments.  The
	      default is "bycontents listall ofboth grouppaths".  See "Compare
	      views"  section below for details.  Tree structure is incompati-
	      ble with alternative representations, so values of 'lsview'  and
	      'millerview' options are ignored.

						:copen

       :cope[n]
	      opens menu with contents of the last displayed menu with naviga-
	      tion to files by default, if any.

						:copy

       :[range]co[py][!?][ &]
	      copy files to directory of other view.   With  "?"  prompts  for
	      destination file names in an editor.  "!" forces overwrite.

       :[range]co[py][!] path[ &]
	      copy  files  to  directory  specified with the path (absolute or
	      relative to directory of other view).  "!" forces overwrite.

       :[range]co[py][!] name1 name2...[ &]
	      copy files to directory of other view giving each	 next  file  a
	      corresponding  name  from	 the  argument list.  "!" forces over-
	      write.

						:cquit

       :cq[uit][!]
	      same  as	:quit,	but  also  aborts   directory	choosing   via
	      --choose-dir  (empties  output  file)  and returns non-zero exit
	      code.

						:cunabbrev

       :cuna[bbrev] lhs
	      unregister command-line mode abbreviation by its lhs.

       :cuna[bbrev] rhs
	      unregister command-line mode abbreviation by its	rhs,  so  that
	      abbreviation could be removed even after expansion.

						:delbmarks

       :delbmarks
	      remove bookmarks from current directory.

       :delbmarks tag1 [tag2 [tag3...]]
	      remove set of bookmarks that include all of the specified tags.

       :delbmarks!
	      remove all bookmarks.

       :delbmarks! path1 [path2 [path3...]]
	      remove bookmarks of listed paths.

						:delcommand

       :delc[ommand] user_command
	      remove user defined command named user_command.

						:delete

       :[range]d[elete][!][ &]
	      delete  selected	file  or  files.   "!"	means complete removal
	      (omitting trash).

       :[range]d[elete][!] [reg] [count][ &]
	      delete selected or [count] files to the reg register.  "!" means
	      complete removal (omitting trash).

						:delmarks

       :delm[arks]!
	      delete all marks.

       :delm[arks] marks ...
	      delete  specified	 marks,	 each  argument is treated as a set of
	      marks.

						:display

       :di[splay]
	      display menu with registers content.

       :di[splay] list ...
	      display the contents of the numbered and	named  registers  that
	      are  mentioned in list (for example "az to display "", "a and "z
	      content).

						:dirs

       :dirs  display directory stack.

						:echo

       :ec[ho] [<expr>...]
	      evaluate each argument as an expression and  output  them	 sepa-
	      rated  with  a space.  See help on :let command for a definition
	      of <expr>.

						:edit

       :[range]e[dit] [file...]
	      open selected or passed file(s) in editor.  Macros and  environ-
	      ment variables are expanded.

						:else

       :el[se]
	      execute  commands until next matching :endif if all other condi-
	      tions didn't match.  See also help on :if and :endif commands.

						:elseif

       :elsei[f] {expr1}
	      execute commands until next matching :elseif, :else or :endif if
	      conditions  of  previous :if and :elseif branches were evaluated
	      to zero.	See also help on :if and :endif commands.

						:empty

       :empty permanently remove files from all existing non-empty  trash  di-
	      rectories (see "Trash directory" section below).	Trash directo-
	      ries which are specified via %r and/or %u also get deleted  com-
	      pletely.	 Also remove all operations from undolist that have no
	      sense after :empty and remove all records	 about	files  located
	      inside  directories from all registers.  Removal is performed as
	      background task with undetermined amount	of  work  and  can  be
	      checked via :jobs menu.

						:endif

       :en[dif]
	      end conditional block.  See also help on :if and :else commands.

						:execute

       :exe[cute] [<expr>...]
	      evaluate	each  argument as an expression and join results sepa-
	      rated by a space to get a single string which is	then  executed
	      as a command-line command.  See help on :let command for a defi-
	      nition of <expr>.

						:exit

       :exi[t][!]
	      same as :quit.

						:file

       :f[ile][ &]
	      display menu of programs set for the file type  of  the  current
	      file.  " &" forces running associated program in background.

       :f[ile] arg[ &]
	      run associated command that begins with the arg skipping opening
	      menu.  " &" forces running associated program in background.

						:filetype

       :filet[ype] pattern-list [{descr}]def_prog[ &],[{descr}]prog2[ &],...
	      associate given program list to each of the  patterns.   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.   See  "Patterns"
	      section below for pattern definition.

	      Example for zip archives:

		fileviewer *.zip,*.jar,*.war,*.ear zip -sf %c, echo "No zip to preview:"

       :filev[iewer] filename
	      list  (in	 menu  mode)  currently registered patterns that match
	      specified filename.

						:filter

       :filter[!] {pattern}
	      filter files matching the pattern	 out  of  directory  listings.
	      '!'  controls  state  of	filter inversion after updating filter
	      value (see also 'cpoptions'  description).   Filter  is  matched
	      case sensitively on *nix and case insensitively on Windows.  See
	      "File Filters" and "Patterns" sections.

	      Example:

		" filter all files ending in .o from the filelist.
		:filter /.o$/


       :filter[!] {empty-pattern}
	      same as above, but use last search pattern as pattern value.

	      Example:

		:filter //I


       :filter
	      reset filter (set it to an empty string) and show all files.

       :filter!
	      same as :invert.

       :filter?
	      show information on local, name and auto filters.

						:find

       :[range]fin[d] pattern
	      display results of find command in the menu.  Searches among se-
	      lected  files  if	 any.  Accepts macros.	By default the command
	      relies on the external "find" utility, which can	be  customized
	      by altering value of the 'findprg' option.

       :[range]fin[d] -opt...
	      same  as	:find  above,  but  user  defines  all find arguments.
	      Searches among selected files if any.

       :[range]fin[d] path -opt...
	      same as :find above, but user defines all find  arguments.   Ig-
	      nores selection and range.

       :[range]fin[d]
	      repeat last :find command.

						:finish

       :fini[sh]
	      stop  sourcing a script. Can only be used in a vifm script file.
	      This is a quick way to skip the rest of the file.

						:goto

       :go[to]
	      change directory if necessary and put specified path  under  the
	      cursor.	The path should be existing non-root path.  Macros and
	      environment variables are expanded.

						:grep

       :[range]gr[ep][!] pattern
	      will show results of grep command in the menu.  Add "!"  to  re-
	      quest inversion of search (look for lines that do not match pat-
	      tern).  Searches among selected files if any and no range given.
	      Ignores  binary files by default.	 By default the command relies
	      on the external "grep" utility, which can be customized  by  al-
	      tering value of the 'grepprg' option.

       :[range]gr[ep][!] -opt...
	      same  as :grep above, but user defines all grep arguments, which
	      are not escaped.	Searches among selected files if any.

       :[range]gr[ep][!]
	      repeat last :grep command.  "!" of this command inverts  "!"  in
	      repeated command.

						:help

       :h[elp]
	      show the help file.

       :h[elp] argument
	      is the same as using ':h argument' in vim.  Use vifm-<something>
	      to get help on vifm (tab completion works).  This	 form  of  the
	      command doesn't work when 'vimhelp' option is off.

						:hideui

       :hideui
	      hide interface to show previous commands' output.

						:highlight

       :hi[ghlight]
	      display information about all highlight groups active at the mo-
	      ment.

       :hi[ghlight] clear
	      reset all highlighting to builtin defaults and removed all file-
	      name-specific rules.

       :hi[ghlight] clear ( {pat1,pat2,...} | /regexp/ )
	      remove specified rule.

       :hi[ghlight] ( group-name | {pat1,pat2,...} | /regexp/ )
	      display  information  on given highlight group or file name pat-
	      tern of color scheme used in the active view.

       :hi[ghlight]  (	group-name  |	{pat1,pat2,...}	  |   /regexp/[iI]   )
       cterm=style | ctermfg=color | ctermbg=color
	      set   style  (cterm),  foreground	 (ctermfg)  or/and  background
	      (ctermbg) parameters of highlight group or file name pattern for
	      color scheme used in the active view.

       All style values as well as color names are case insensitive.

       Available style values (some of them can be combined):
	- bold
	- underline
	- reverse or inverse
	- standout
	- italic (on unsupported systems becomes reverse)
	- none

       Available group-name values:
	- Win - color of all windows (views, dialogs, menus) and default color
       for their content (e.g. regular files in views)
	- AuxWin - color of auxiliary areas of windows
	- OtherWin - color of inactive pane
	- Border - color of vertical parts of the border
	- TabLine - tab line color (for 'tabscope' set to "global")
	- TabLineSel - color of the tip of selected tab (regardless  of	 'tab-
       scope')
	- TopLineSel - top line color of the current pane
	- TopLine - top line color of the other pane
	- CmdLine - the command line/status bar color
	- ErrorMsg - color of error messages in the status bar
	- StatusLine - color of the line above the status bar
	- JobLine - color of job line that appears above the status line
	- WildMenu - color of the wild menu items

	- BrokenLink - color of broken symbolic links
	- Socket - color of sockets
	- Device - color of block and character devices
	- Executable - color of executable files
	- Fifo - color of fifo pipes
	-  CmpMismatch	- color of mismatched files in side-by-side comparison
       by path
	- User1..User9 - 9 colors which can be used via %* 'statusline' macro

       Available colors:
	- -1 or default or none - default or transparent

	- blue	  and lightblue
	- magenta and lightmagenta
	- cyan	  and lightcyan
	- white	  and lightwhite
	- 0-255 - corresponding colors from 256-color palette

       Light versions of colors are regular colors with	 bold  attribute  set.
       So  order of arguments of :highlight command is important and it's bet-
       ter to put "cterm" in front of others to prevent	 it  from  overwriting
       attributes set by "ctermfg" or "ctermbg" arguments.

       For  convenience of color scheme authors xterm-like names for 256 color
       palette	 is   also   supported.	   The	 mapping   is	 taken	  from
       http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Xterm256_color_names_for_console_Vim	Dupli-
       cated entries were altered by adding an underscore followed by  numeri-
       cal suffix.

       There are two colors (foreground and background) and only one bold  at-
       tribute.	 Thus single bold attribute affects both colors when "reverse"
       attribute is used in vifm run inside terminal emulator.	 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/.	Number of colors supported  by	terminal  with
       current settings can be checked via "tput colors" command.

       Here  is	 the hierarchy of highlight groups, which you need to know for
       using transparency:
	 JobLine
	 SuggestBox
	 StatusLine
	   WildMenu
	   User1..User9
	 Border
	 CmdLine
	   ErrorMsg
	 Win
	   OtherWin
	     AuxWin
	       File name specific highlights
		 Directory
		 Link
		 BrokenLink
		 Socket
		 Device
		 Fifo
		 Executable
		   Selected
		     CurrLine
		     OtherLine
	 TopLine
	   TopLineSel
	     TabLineSel (for pane tabs)
	 TabLine
	   TabLineSel

       "none" means default terminal color for highlight groups at  the	 first
       level of the hierarchy and transparency for all others.

       Here file name specific highlights mean those configured via globs ({})
       or regular expressions (//).  At most one of them is applied  per  file
       entry,  namely  the first that matches file name, hence order of :high-
       light commands might be important in certain cases.

						:history

       :his[tory]
	      creates a pop-up menu of directories visited.

       :his[tory] x
	      x can be:
	      d[ir]	or . show directory history.
	      c[md]	or : show command line history.
	      s[earch]	or / show search history and search forward on l key.
	      f[search] or / show search history and search forward on l key.
	      b[search] or ? show search history and search backward on l key.
	      i[nput]	or @ show prompt history (e.g. on one file renaming).
	      fi[lter]	or = show filter history (see description of  the  "="
	      normal mode command).

						:histnext

       :histnext
	      same  as	<c-i>.	 The main use case for this command is to work
	      around the common pain point of <tab> and <c-i> being  the  same
	      ASCII  character: one could alter the terminal emulator settings
	      to emit, for example, the `F1` keycode when Ctrl-I  is  pressed,
	      then  `:noremap <f1> :histnext<cr>` in vifm, add "t" flag to the
	      'cpoptions', and thus have both <c-i> and <tab> working  as  ex-
	      pected.

						:histprev

       :histprev
	      same as <c-o>.

						:if

       :if {expr1}
	      starts  conditional  block.   Commands  are  executed until next
	      matching :elseif, :else or :endif command if  {expr1}  evaluates
	      to non-zero, otherwise they are ignored.	See also help on :else
	      and :endif commands.

	      Example:

		if $TERM == 'screen.linux'
		    highlight CurrLine ctermfg=lightwhite ctermbg=lightblack
		elseif $TERM == 'tmux'
		    highlight CurrLine cterm=reverse ctermfg=black ctermbg=white
		else
		    highlight CurrLine cterm=bold,reverse ctermfg=black ctermbg=white
		endif

						:invert

       :invert [f]
	      invert file name filter.

       :invert? [f]
	      show current filter state.

       :invert s
	      invert selection.

       :invert o
	      invert sorting order of the primary sorting key.

       :invert? o
	      show sorting order of the primary sorting key.

						:jobs

       :jobs  shows menu of current backgrounded processes.

						:let

       :let $ENV_VAR = <expr>
	      sets environment variable.  Warning: setting  environment	 vari-
	      able to an empty string on Windows removes it.

       :let $ENV_VAR .= <expr>
	      append value to environment variable.

       :let &[l:|g:]opt = <expr>
	      sets option value.

       :let &[l:|g:]opt .= <expr>
	      append value to string option.

       :let &[l:|g:]opt += <expr>
	      increasing option value, adding sub-values.

       :let &[l:|g:]opt -= <expr>
	      decreasing option value, removing sub-values.

       Where  <expr> could be a single-quoted string, double-quoted string, an
       environment variable, function call or a concatanation of any  of  them
       in any order using the '.' operator.  Any whitespace is ignored.

						:locate

       :locate filename
	      use "locate" command to create a menu of filenames.  Selecting a
	      file from the menu will reload the current file list in vifm  to
	      show  the	 selected  file.  By default the command relies on the
	      external "locate" utility (it's assumed that its database is al-
	      ready  built),  which can be customized by altering value of the
	      'locateprg' option.

       :locate
	      repeats last :locate command.

						:ls

       :ls    lists windows of active terminal multiplexer (only when terminal
	      multiplexer  is  used).  This is achieved by issuing proper com-
	      mand for active terminal multiplexer, thus the list is not  han-
	      dled by vifm.

						:lstrash

       :lstrash
	      displays	a  menu	 with list of files in trash.  Each element of
	      the list is original path of a deleted file, thus the  list  can
	      contain duplicates.

						:mark

       :[range]ma[rk][?] x [/full/path] [filename]
	      Set  mark	 x (a-zA-Z0-9) at /full/path and filename.  By default
	      current directory is being used.	If no filename was  given  and
	      /full/path  is  current  directory  then last file in [range] is
	      used.  Using of macros is allowed.  Question mark will stop com-
	      mand from overwriting existing marks.

						:marks

       :marks create a pop-up menu of marks.

       :marks list ...
	      display the contents of the marks that are mentioned in list.

						:media

       :media only for *nix
	      display media management menu.  See also 'mediaprg' option.

						:messages

       :mes[sages]
	      shows previously given messages (up to 50).

						:mkdir

       :[line]mkdir[!] dir ...
	      create  directories  at specified paths.	The [line] can be used
	      to pick node in a tree-view.  "!" means make parent  directories
	      as needed.  Macros are expanded.

						:move

       :[range]m[ove][!?][ &]
	      move  files  to  directory  of other view.  With "?" prompts for
	      destination file names in an editor.  "!" forces overwrite.

       :[range]m[ove][!] path[ &]
	      move files to directory specified with  the  path	 (absolute  or
	      relative to directory of other view).  "!" forces overwrite.

       :[range]m[ove][!] name1 name2...[ &]
	      move  files  to  directory of other view giving each next file a
	      corresponding name from the argument  list.   "!"	 forces	 over-
	      write.

						:nohlsearch

       :noh[lsearch]
	      clear selection in current pane.

						:normal

       :norm[al][!] commands
	      execute normal mode commands.  If "!" is used, user defined map-
	      pings are ignored.  Unfinished last command  is  aborted	as  if
	      <esc>  or	 <c-c>	was typed.  A ":" should be completed as well.
	      Commands can't start with a space, so put a count of 1 (one) be-
	      fore it.

						:only

       :on[ly]
	      switch to a one window view.

						:popd

       :popd  remove pane directories from stack.

						:pushd

       :pushd[!] /curr/dir [/other/dir]
	      add  pane	 directories  to  stack and process arguments like :cd
	      command.

       :pushd exchange the top two items of the directory stack.

						:put

       :[line]pu[t][!] [reg] [ &]
	      puts files from specified register (" by default)	 into  current
	      directory.   The [line] can be used to pick node in a tree-view.
	      "!" moves files "!" moves files from their original location in-
	      stead  of	 copying  them.	 During this operation no confirmation
	      dialogs will be shown, all checks are performed beforehand.

						:pwd

       :pw[d] show the present working directory.

						:qall

       :qa[ll][!]
	      exit vifm (add ! to skip saving changes and checking for	active
	      backgrounded commands).

						:quit

       :q[uit][!]
	      if  there is more than one tab, close the current one, otherwise
	      exit vifm (add ! to skip saving changes and checking for	active
	      backgrounded commands).

						:redraw

       :redr[aw]
	      redraw the screen immediately.

						:registers

       :reg[isters]
	      display menu with registers content.

       :reg[isters] list ...
	      display  the  contents  of the numbered and named registers that
	      are mentioned in list (for example "az to display "", "a and  "z
	      content).

						:regular

       :regular

       switch to regular view leaving custom view.
						       :rename

       :[range]rename[!]
	      rename  files  using  vi	to  edit names. ! means go recursively
	      through directories.

       :[range]rename name1 name2...
	      rename each of selected files to a corresponding name.

						:restart

       :restart
	      free  a  lot  of	things	(histories,  commands,	etc.),	reread
	      vifminfo and vifmrc files and run startup commands passed in the
	      argument list, thus losing all unsaved changes (e.g. recent his-
	      tory or keys mapped in current session).

	      While many things get reset, some basic UI state and current lo-
	      cations are preserved, including tabs.

						:restore

       :[range]restore
	      restore file from trash directory, doesn't work outside  one  of
	      trash directories.  See "Trash directory" section below.

						:rlink

	      create  relative	symbolic links of files in directory specified
	      with the path (absolute or relative to directory of other view).
	      "!" forces overwrite.

       :[range]rlink[!] name1 name2...
	      create  relative	symbolic  links of files in directory of other
	      view giving each next link a corresponding name from  the	 argu-
	      ment list.  "!" forces overwrite.

						:screen

       :screen
	      toggle whether to use the terminal multiplexer or not.
	      A	 terminal  multiplexer uses pseudo terminals to allow multiple
	      windows to be used in the console or in a single xterm.	Start-
	      ing  vifm	 from  terminal	 multiplexer  with appropriate support
	      turned on will cause vifm to open	 a  new	 terminal  multiplexer
	      window for each new file edited or program launched from vifm.
	      This  requires  screen  version 3.9.9 or newer for the screen -X
	      argument or tmux (1.8 version or newer is recommended).

       :screen!
	      enable integration with terminal multiplexers.

       :screen?
	      display whether integration with terminal	 multiplexers  is  en-
	      abled.

       Note:  the  command  is called screen for historical reasons (when tmux
       wasn't yet supported) and might be changed in future releases,  or  get
       an alias.

						:select

       :[range]select
	      select  files  in	 the  given range (current file if no range is
	      given).

       :select {pattern}
	      select files that match specified pattern.   Possible  {pattern}
	      forms are described in "Patterns" section below.	Trailing slash
	      for directories is taken into account, so `:select! */ |	invert
	      s` selects only files.

       :select //[iI]
	      same as item above, but reuses last search pattern.

       :select !{external command}
	      select  files from the list supplied by external command.	 Files
	      are matched by full paths, relative paths are converted to abso-
	      lute ones beforehand.

       :[range]select! [{pattern}]
	      same  as above, but resets previously selected items before pro-
	      ceeding.

						:set

       :se[t] display all options that differ from their default value.

       :se[t] all
	      display all options.

       :se[t] opt1=val1 opt2='val2' opt3="val3" ...
	      sets given options.  For local options both values are set.
	      You can use following syntax:
	       - for all options - option, option? and option&
	       - for boolean options - nooption, invoption and option!
	       - for integer options - option=x, option+=x and option-=x
	       - for string options - option=x and option+=x
	       - for string list options - option=x, option+=x, option-=x  and
	      option^=x
	       - for enumeration options - option=x, option+=x and option-=x
	       -  for  set  options  -	option=x, option+=x, option-=x and op-
	      tion^=x
	       - for charset options - option=x, option+=x, option-=x and  op-
	      tion^=x

	      the meaning:
	       - option - turn option on (for boolean) or print its value (for
	      all others)
	       - nooption - turn option off
	       - invoption - invert option state
	       - option! - invert option state
	       - option? - print option value
	       - option& - reset option to its default value
	       - option=x or option:x - set option to x
	       - option+=x - add/append x to option
	       - option-=x - remove (or subtract) x from option
	       - option^=x - toggle x presence among values of the option

	      Option name can be prepended  and	 appended  by  any  number  of
	      whitespace characters.

						:setglobal

       :setg[lobal]
	      display all global options that differ from their default value.

       :setg[lobal] all
	      display all global options.

       :setg[lobal] opt1=val1 opt2='val2' opt3="val3" ...
	      same  as	:set, but changes/prints only global options or global
	      values of local options.	Changes to the	latter	might  be  not
	      visible until directory is changed.

						:setlocal

       :setl[ocal]
	      display all local options that differ from their default value.

       :setl[ocal] all
	      display all local options.

       :setl[ocal] opt1=val1 opt2='val2' opt3="val3" ...
	      same  as :set, but changes/prints only local values of local op-
	      tions.

						:shell

       :sh[ell][!]
	      start a shell in current	directory.   "!"  suppresses  spawning
	      dedicated	 window	 of terminal multiplexer for a shell.  To make
	      vifm adaptive to environment it uses  $SHELL  if	it's  defined,
	      otherwise 'shell' value is used.


						:siblnext

       :[count]siblnext[!]

	      change  directory to [count]th next sibling directory after cur-
	      rent path using value of global sort  option  of	current	 pane.
	      "!" enables wrapping.

	      For  example,  say, you're at /boot and root listing starts like
	      this:

		  bin/
		  boot/
		  dev/
		  ...

	      Issuing :siblnext will navigate to /dev.


						:siblprev

       :[count]siblprev[!]
	      same as :siblnext, but in the opposite direction.

						:sort

       :sor[t]
	      display dialog with different sorting methods, when one can  se-
	      lect  primary  sorting key.  When 'viewcolumns' options is empty
	      and 'lsview' is off, changing primary sorting key will also  af-
	      fect view look (in particular the second column of the view will
	      be changed).

						:source

       :so[urce] file
	      read command-line commands from the file.

						:split

       :sp[lit]
	      switch to a two window horizontal view.

       :sp[lit]!
	      toggle horizontal window splitting.

       :sp[lit] path
	      splits the window horizontally to show  both  file  directories.
	      Also changes other pane to path (absolute or relative to current
	      directory of active pane).

						:substitute

       :[range]s[ubstitute]/pattern/string/[flags]
	      for each file in range replace a match of pattern with string.

       String can contain \0...\9 to link to capture groups (\0 -  all	match,
       \1 - first group, etc.).

       Pattern is stored in search history.

       Available flags:

	 - i  -	 ignore case (the 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase' options are not
	   used)

	 - I - don't ignore case (the 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase' options are
	   not used)

	 - g - substitute all matches in each file name (each g toggles this)

       :[range]s[ubstitute]/pattern
	      substitute pattern with an empty string.

       :[range]s[ubstitute]//string/[flags]
	      use last pattern from search history.

       :[range]s[ubstitute]
	      repeat previous substitution command.

						:sync

       :sync [relative path]
	      change  the  other pane to the current pane directory or to some
	      path relative to the current directory.	Using  macros  is  al-
	      lowed.

       :sync! change the other pane to the current pane directory and synchro-
	      nize cursor position.  If current pane displays custom  list  of
	      files,  position	before	entering it is used (current one might
	      not make any sense).


       :sync! [location | cursorpos | localopts | filters | filelist | tree  |
       all]...
	      change  enumerated  properties of the other pane to match corre-
	      sponding properties of the current  pane.	  Arguments  have  the
	      following meanings:

		- location - current directory of the pane;

		- cursorpos - cursor position (doesn't make sense without "lo-
		  cation");

		- localopts - all local options;

		- filters - all filters;

		- filelist - list of files for	custom	view  (implies	"loca-
		  tion");

		- tree - tree structure for tree view (implies "location");

		- all - all of the above.

						:tabclose

       :tabc[lose]
	      close  current  tab,  unless  it's  the only one open at current
	      scope.

						:tabmove

       :tabm[ove] [N]
	      without the argument or with `$` as the  argument,  current  tab
	      becomes  the  last tab.  With the argument, current tab is moved
	      after the tab with the specified number.	Argument of `0`	 moves
	      current tab to the first position.

						:tabname

       :tabname [name]
	      set,  update or reset (when no argument is provided) name of the
	      current tab.

						:tabnew

       :tabnew [path]
	      create new tab.  Accepts optional path for the new tab.	Macros
	      and environment variables are expanded.

						:tabnext

       :tabn[ext]
	      switch to the next tab (wrapping around).

       :tabn[ext] {n}
	      go to the tab number {n}.	 Tab numeration starts with 1.

						:tabprevious

       :tabp[revious]
	      switch to the previous tab (wrapping around).

	      go  to  the {n}-th previous tab.	Note that :tabnext handles its
	      argument differently.

						:touch

       :[line]touch file...
	      create files at specified paths.	Aborts on errors.  Doesn't up-
	      date  time  of  existing	files.	The [line] can be used to pick
	      node in a tree-view.  Macros are expanded.

						:tr

       :[range]tr/pattern/string/
	      for each file in range transliterate the characters which appear
	      in  pattern  to  the  corresponding  character  in string.  When
	      string is shorter than pattern, it's padded with its last	 char-
	      acter.

						:trashes

       :trashes
	      lists all valid trash directories in a menu.  Only non-empty and
	      writable trash directories are shown.  This is exactly the  list
	      of directories that are cleared when :empty command is executed.

       :trashes?
	      same  as	:trashes,  but also displays size of each trash direc-
	      tory.

						:tree

       :tree  turn pane into tree view with current  directory	as  its	 root.
	      The tree view is implemented on top of a custom view, but is au-
	      tomatically kept in sync with file system	 state	and  considers
	      all  the	filters.   Thus	 the structure corresponds to what one
	      would see on visiting the directories manually.	As  a  special
	      case  for	 trees	built  out of custom view file-system tracking
	      isn't performed.

	      To leave tree view go up from its root or use gh at any level of
	      the  tree.   Any command that changes directory will also do, in
	      particular, `:cd ..`.

	      Tree structure is incompatible with alternative representations,
	      so values of 'lsview' and 'millerview' options are ignored.

       :tree! toggle current view in and out of tree mode.

						:undolist

       :undol[ist]
	      display list of latest changes.  Use "!" to see actual commands.

						:unlet

       :unl[et][!] $ENV_VAR1 $ENV_VAR2 ...
	      remove  environment variables. Add ! to omit displaying of warn-
	      ings about nonexistent variables.

						:unselect

       :[range]unselect
	      unselect files in the given range (current file if no  range  is
	      given).

       :unselect {pattern}
	      unselect files that match specified pattern.  Possible {pattern}
	      forms are described in "Patterns" section below.	Trailing slash
	      for  directories	is taken into account, so `:unselect */` unse-
	      lects directories.

       :unselect !{external command}
	      unselect files from  the	list  supplied	by  external  command.
	      Files are matched by full paths, relative paths are converted to
	      absolute ones beforehand.

       :unselect //[iI]
	      same as item above, but reuses last search pattern.

						:version

       :ve[rsion]
	      show menu with version information.

						:vifm

       :vifm  same as :version.

						:view

       :vie[w]
	      toggle on and off the quick file view.  See also 'quickview' op-
	      tion.

       :vie[w]!
	      turn on quick file view if it's off.

						:volumes

       :volumes
	      only for MS-Windows
	      display  menu  with volume list.	Hitting l (or Enter) key opens
	      appropriate volume in the current pane.

						:vsplit

       :vs[plit]
	      switch to a two window vertical view.

       :vs[plit]!
	      toggle window vertical splitting.

       :vs[plit] path
	      split the window vertically to show both file directories.   And
	      changes  other pane to path (absolute or relative to current di-
	      rectory of active pane).

						:wincmd

       :[count]winc[md] {arg}
	      same as running Ctrl-W [count] {arg}.

						:windo

       :windo [command...]
	      execute command for each pane (same as :winrun % command).

						:winrun

       :winrun type [command...]
	      execute command for pane(s), which is determined by  type	 argu-
	      ment:
		- ^ - top-left pane
		- $ - bottom-right pane
		- % - all panes
		- . - current pane
		- , - other pane

						:write

       :w[rite]
	      write vifminfo file.

						:wq

       :wq[!] same  as	:quit,	but ! only disables check of backgrounded com-
	      mands.					       :wqall

Ranges
       The ranges implemented include:
	 2,3 - from second to third file in the list (including it)
	 % - the entire directory.
	 . - the current position in the filelist.
	 $ - the end of the filelist.
	 't - the mark position t.

       Examples:

	 :%delete

       would delete all files in the directory.

	 :2,4delete

       would delete the files in the list positions 2 through 4.

	 :.,$delete

       would  delete  the  files  from	the current position to the end of the
       filelist.

	 :3delete4

       would delete the files in the list positions 3, 4, 5, 6.

       If a backward range is given :4,2delete - an query message is given and
       user can chose what to do next.

       The builtin commands that accept a range are :d[elete] and :y[ank].

Command macros
       The command macros may be used in user commands.

       %a     User  arguments.	 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<Enter>
	      will list the directory contents of the current directory.

       :lsl filename<Enter>
	      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. [!]<comma-separated-mime-type-globs>

	 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:
	 <text/plain>{*.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:
	 <text/plain>{*.vifm},<application/pdf>{*.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, <tab> (thus <c-i>) behave as <space> and
	      switches active pane, otherwise <tab> and <c-i>  go  forward  in
	      the view history.	 It's possible to make both <tab> and <c-i> to
	      work as expected by setting up the terminal to emit a custom se-
	      quence when <c-i> 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<tab>).

       '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 some of the	macros
	      are not used, they will be implicitly added after a space to the
	      value of the 'grepprg' option in the following  order:  %i,  %a,
	      %s.   Note  that	when  neither %a nor %A are specified, it's %a
	      which is added implicitly.

	      Optional %u or %U macro could be used (if both specified	%U  is
	      chosen)  to  force redirection to custom or unsorted custom view
	      respectively.

	      See 'findprg' option for description of  difference  between  %a
	      and %A.

	      Example  of setup to use ack (http://beyondgrep.com/) instead of
	      grep:

		set grepprg='ack -H -r %i %a %s'

	      or  The  Silver	Searcher   (https://github.com/ggreer/the_sil-
	      ver_searcher):

		set grepprg='ag --line-numbers %i %a %s'



       'histcursor'
	      type: set
	      default: startup,dirmark,direnter
	      Defines  situations when cursor should be moved according to di-
	      rectory history:
	       - startup  - on loading file lists during startup
	       - dirmark  - after navigating to a mark	that  doesn't  specify
	      file
	       - direnter - on opening directory from a file list

	      This option has no effect when 'autochpos' is disabled.

	      Note  that the list is not exhaustive and there are other situa-
	      tions when cursor is positioned automatically.

       'history' 'hi'
	      type: integer
	      default: 15
	      Maximum number of stored items in all histories.

       'hlsearch' 'hls'
	      type: boolean
	      default: true
	      Highlight all matches of search pattern.

       'iec'  type: boolean
	      default: false
	      Use KiB, MiB, ... suffixes instead of K, M,  ...	when  printing
	      size in human-friendly format.

       'ignorecase' 'ic'
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      Ignore  case  in search patterns (:substitute, / and ? commands)
	      and characters after f and F commands.  It doesn't  affect  file
	      filtering.

       'incsearch' 'is'
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      When this option is set, search and view update for local filter
	      is be performed starting from initial cursor position each  time
	      search pattern is changed.

       'iooptions'
	      type: set
	      default:
	      Controls	details	 of file operations.  The following values are
	      available:
	       - fastfilecloning - perform fast file cloning  (copy-on-write),
	      when available
				   (available on Linux and btrfs file system).

       'laststatus' 'ls'
	      type: boolean
	      default: true
	      Controls if status bar is visible.

       'lines'
	      type: integer
	      default: terminal height on startup
	      Terminal height in lines.

       'locateprg'
	      type: string
	      default: "locate %a"
	      Specifies	 format	 for  an external command to be invoked by the
	      :locate 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 :locate
	      command.	If the macro is not used, it will be implicitly	 added
	      after a space to the value of this option.

	      Optional	%u  or %U macro could be used (if both specified %U is
	      chosen) to force redirection to custom or unsorted  custom  view
	      respectively.

       'mediaprg'
	      type: string
	      default: path to bundled script that supports udevil, udisks and
	      udisks2
		       (using udisks2 requires python  with  dbus  module  in-
	      stalled)
		       OS X: path points to a python script that uses diskutil
	      {only for *nix}
	      Specifies	 command  to be used to manage media devices.  Used by
	      :media command.

	      The command can be passed the following parameters:
	       - list		-- list media
	       - mount {device} -- mount a device
	       - unmount {path} -- unmount given mount point

	      The output of `list` subcommand is parsed	 in  search  of	 lines
	      that start with one of the following prefixes:
	       - device=      - specifies device path (e.g., "/dev/sde")
	       - label=	      - specifies optional device label (e.g., "Memory
	      card")
	       - info=	      - specifies arbitrary text to  display  next  to
	      device (by
				default	 "[label]"  is	used, if label is pro-
	      vided)
	       - mount-point= - specifies a mount point (can be absent or  ap-
	      pear more than once)

	      All  other  lines are ignored.  Each `device=` starts a new sec-
	      tion describing a device which should include two other possible
	      prefixes.

	      `list`  subcommand is assumed to always succeed, while exit code
	      of `mount` and `unmount` is  taken  into	account	 to  determine
	      whether operation was performed successfully.

       'lsoptions'
	      type: string list
	      default: ""
	      scope: local

	      Configures ls-like view.

		item	      used for
		transposed     filling	view  grid  by	columns rather than by
	      lines


       'lsview'
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      scope: local
	      When this option is set, directory view  will  be	 displayed  in
	      multiple	columns	 with  file names similar to output of `ls -x`
	      command.	See "ls-like view" section below for  format  descrip-
	      tion.  This option has no effect if 'millerview' is on.

       'milleroptions'
	      type: string list
	      default: "lsize:1,csize:1,rsize:1,rpreview:dirs"
	      scope: local

	      Configures miller view.

		item	      default  used for
		lsize:num     0	       left column
		csize:num     1	       center column (can't be disabled)
		rsize:num     0	       right column
		rpreview:str  dirs     right column

	      *size  specifies	ratios of columns.  Each ratio is in the range
	      from 0 to 100 and values are adjusted to fit the	limits.	  Zero
	      disables a column, but central (main) column can't be disabled.

	      rpreview	specifies what file-system objects should be previewed
	      in the right column and can take two values: dirs (only directo-
	      ries)  or	 all.	Both  options  don't  include parent directory
	      ("..").

	      Example of two-column mode which is useful in  combination  with
	      :view command:

		set milleroptions=lsize:1,csize:2


       'millerview'
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      scope: local
	      When  this  option  is  set, directory view will be displayed in
	      multiple cascading columns.  Ignores 'lsview'.

       'mintimeoutlen'
	      type: integer
	      default: 150
	      The fracture of 'timeoutlen' in milliseconds that is waited  be-
	      tween subsequent input polls, which affects various asynchronous
	      operations (detecting changes  made  by  external	 applications,
	      monitoring  background jobs, redrawing UI).  There are no strict
	      guarantees, however the higher this value is, the	 less  is  CPU
	      load in idle mode.

       'number' 'nu'
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      scope: local
	      Print  line  number in front of each file name when 'lsview' op-
	      tion is turned off.  Use 'numberwidth' to control width of  line
	      number.  Also see 'relativenumber'.

       'numberwidth' 'nuw'
	      type: integer
	      default: 4
	      scope: local
	      Minimal number of characters for line number field.

       'previewprg'
	      type: string
	      default: ""
	      scope: local

	      External	command to be used instead of preview programs config-
	      ured via :fileviewer command.

	      Example:

		" always show git log in preview of files inside some repository
		au DirEnter '~/git-repo/**/*' setl previewprg='git log --color -- %c 2>&1'

       'quickview'
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      Whether quick view (:view) is currently active or not.

       'relativenumber' 'rnu'
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      scope: local
	      Print relative line number in  front  of	each  file  name  when
	      'lsview'	option	is  turned  off.  Use 'numberwidth' to control
	      width of line number.   Various  combinations  of	 'number'  and
	      'relativenumber' lead to such results:

				      nonumber		     number

		  norelativenumber   | first		    |	1 first
				     | second		    |	2 second
				     | third		    |	3 third

		    relativenumber   |	 1 first	    |	1 first
				     |	 0 second	    |2	  second
				     |	 1 third	    |	1 third


       'rulerformat' 'ruf'
	      type: string
	      default: "%l/%S "
	      Determines  the  content	of the ruler.  Its minimal width is 13
	      characters and it's right aligned.  Following  macros  are  sup-
	      ported:
	       %=  - separation point between left and right aligned halves of
	      the line
	       %l  - file number
	       %L  - total number of files in  view  (including	 filtered  out
	      ones)
	       %x  - number of files excluded by filters
	       %0- - old name for %x macro
	       %S  - number of displayed files
	       %=  - separation point between left and right align items
	       %%  - percent sign
	       %[  - designates beginning of an optional block
	       %]  - designates end of an optional block

	      Percent  sign  can  be followed by optional minimum field width.
	      Add '-' before minimum field width if you want field to be right
	      aligned.

	      Example:

		set rulerformat='%2l-%S%[ +%x%]'

       'runexec'
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      Run executable file on Enter or l.

       'scrollbind' 'scb'
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      When  this  option  is  set, vifm will try to keep difference of
	      scrolling positions of two windows constant.

       'scrolloff' 'so'
	      type: integer
	      default: 0
	      Minimal number of screen lines to keep above and below the  cur-
	      sor.   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.  "..." will appear  in  the
	      middle.
	       - p - use tilde shortening in view titles.


       'showtabline' 'stal'
	      type: enumeration
	      default: multiple
	      Specifies when tab line should be displayed.  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.  It doesn't affect file filtering.

       'sort' type: string list
	      default: +name on *nix and +iname on Windows
	      scope: local
	      Sets  list of sorting keys (first item is primary key, second is
	      secondary key, etc.):
		 [+-]ext     - extension of files and directories
		 [+-]fileext - extension of files only
		 [+-]name    - name (including extension)
		 [+-]iname   - name (including extension, ignores case)
		 [+-]type		 -		file		  type
	      (dir/reg/exe/link/char/block/sock/fifo)
		 [+-]dir     - directory grouping (directory < file)
		 [+-]gid     - group id (*nix only)
		 [+-]gname   - group name (*nix only)
		 [+-]mode    - file type derived from its mode (*nix only)
		 [+-]perms   - permissions string (*nix only)
		 [+-]uid     - owner id (*nix only)
		 [+-]uname   - owner name (*nix only)
		 [+-]nlinks  - number of hard links (*nix only)
		 [+-]inode   - inode number (*nix only)
		 [+-]size    - size
		 [+-]nitems  - number of items in a directory (zero for files)
		 [+-]groups  - groups extracted via regexps from 'sortgroups'
		 [+-]target   -	 symbolic  link	 target	 (empty for other file
	      types)
		 [+-]atime   - time accessed (e.g. read, executed)
		 [+-]ctime   - time changed (changes in metadata, e.g. mode)
		 [+-]mtime   - time modified (when file contents is changed)

	      Note: look for st_atime, st_ctime and st_mtime in "man  2	 stat"
	      for more information on time keys.

	      '+'  means ascending sort for this key, and '-' means descending
	      sort.

	      "dir" key is somewhat similar in this regard but it's added  im-
	      plicitly:	 when "dir" is not specified, sorting behaves as if it
	      was the first key in the list.  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

	      - %{<expr>} - evaluate arbitrary vifm expression '<expr>',  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.  See "man 1 date" or "man 3 strf-
	      time" for details.

       'timeoutlen' 'tm'
	      type: integer
	      default: 1000
	      The time in milliseconds that is waited for a mapped key in case
	      of already typed key sequence is ambiguous.

       'title'
	      type: boolean
	      default: true when title can be restored, false otherwise
	      When  enabled,  title  of the terminal or terminal multiplexer's
	      window is updated according to current  location.	  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.  See "Column view" section	 below
	      for format description.

	      An  example  of  setting the options for both panes (note :windo
	      command):

		windo set viewcolumns=-{name}..,6{size},11{perms}

       'vixcmd'
	      type: string
	      default: value of 'vicmd'
	      Same as 'vicmd', but takes precedence over it when  running  in-
	      side a graphical environment.

       'vifminfo'
	      type: set
	      default: bookmarks,bmarks
	      Controls what will be saved in the $VIFM/vifminfo file.

		 bmarks	   - named bookmarks
		 bookmarks - marks, except special ones like '< and '>
		 tui	    -  state of the user interface (sorting, number of
	      windows, quick
			     view state, active view)
		 dhistory  - directory history
		 state	   - file name and dot filters and terminal multiplex-
	      ers integration
			     state
		 cs	   - primary color scheme
		 savedirs  - save last visited directory (requires dhistory)
		 chistory  - command line history
		 shistory  - search history (/ and ? commands)
		 phistory  - prompt history
		 fhistory   -  history of local filter (see description of the
	      "=" normal mode
			     command)
		 dirstack  - directory stack overwrites previous stack, unless
	      stack of
			     current session is empty
		 registers - registers content
		 options   - all options that can be set with the :set command
	      (obsolete)
		 filetypes - associated programs and viewers (obsolete)
		 commands  - user defined commands (see :command  description)
	      (obsolete)

       'vimhelp'
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      Use vim help format.

       'wildmenu' 'wmnu'
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      Controls	whether	 possible  matches of completion will be shown
	      above the command line.

       'wildstyle'
	      type: enumeration
	      default: bar
	      Picks presentation style of wild menu.  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 <c-w> <a-b><a-d>

	      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:

       <silent>
	      Postpone UI updates until RHS is completely processed.

       <wait> 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 <wait> tw :set wrap!<cr>
		nnoremap <wait> tn :set number!<cr>
		nnoremap <wait> tr :set relativenumber!<cr>

       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:

       <cr>   Enter key.

       <esc>  Escape key.

       <space>
	      Space key.

       <lt>   Less-than character (<).

       <nop>  provides a way to disable a mapping (by mapping it to <nop>).

       <bs>   Backspace key (see key conflict description below).

       <tab> <s-tab>
	      Tabulation and Shift+Tabulation keys.

       <home> <end>
	      Home/End.

       <left> <right> <up> <down>
	      Arrow keys.

       <pageup> <pagedown>
	      PageUp/PageDown.

       <del> <delete>
	      Delete  key.   <del>  and	 <delete>  mean	 different  codes, but
	      <delete> is more common.

       <insert>
	      Insert key.

       <c-a>,<c-b>,...,<c-z>,<c-[>,<c->,<c-]>,<c-^>,<c-_>
	      Control + some key (see key conflict description below).

       <c-@>  only for *nix
	      Control + Space.

       <a-a>,<a-b>,...,<a-z>
	      <m-a>,<m-b>,...,<m-z> Alt + some key.

       <a-c-a>,<a-c-b>,...,<a-c-z>
	      <m-c-a>,<m-c-b>,...,<m-c-z> only for *nix
	      Alt + Ctrl + some key.

       <f0> - <f63>
	      Functional keys.

       <c-f1> - <c-f12>
	      only for MS-Windows
	      functional keys with Control key pressed.

       <a-f1> - <a-f12>
	      only for MS-Windows
	      functional keys with Alt key pressed.

       <s-f1> - <s-f12>
	      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:

	 - <cr> and <c-m>;

	 - <tab> and <c-i>;

	 - <c-h> and <bs>;

	 - etc.

       Most  of	 the  time  they are defined consistently and don't cause sur-
       prises, but <c-h> and <bs> 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 <c-
       h>  or <bs> 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 <c-h> in the LHS work
	 map <c-h> <bs>
	 " if mappings with <bs> in the LHS work
	 map <bs> <c-h>

       Whitespace

       vifm  removes  whitespace  characters  at the beginning and end of com-
       mands.  That's why you may want to use <space> at the  end  of  rhs  in
       mappings.  For example:

	 cmap <f1> man<space>

       will  put  "man " in line when you hit the <f1> key in the command line
       mode.

Expression syntax
       Supported expressions is a subset of what VimL provides.

       Expression syntax summary, from least to most significant:

       expr1	  expr2

       ".." indicates that the operations in this level can be concatenated.

       expr1
       -----
       expr2 || expr2

       Arguments are converted to numbers before evaluation.

       Result is non-zero if at least one of arguments is non-zero.

       It's right associative and with	short-circuiting,  so  sub-expressions
       are  evaluated  from  left to right until result of whole expression is
       determined (i.e., until first non-zero) or end of the expression.

       expr2
       -----
       expr3 && expr3

       Arguments are converted to numbers before evaluation.

       Result is non-zero only if both arguments are non-zero.

       It's right associative and with	short-circuiting,  so  sub-expressions
       are  evaluated  from  left to right until result of whole expression is
       determined (i.e., until first zero) or end of the expression.

       expr3
       -----
       expr4 {cmp} expr4

       Compare two expr4 expressions, resulting in a  0	 if  it	 evaluates  to
       false or 1 if it evaluates to true.

       equal		       ==
       not equal	       !=
       greater than	       >
       greater than or equal   >=
       smaller than	       <
       smaller than or equal   <=

       Examples:

	 'a' ==	 'a'	     == 1
	 'a' >	 'b'	     == 1
	 'a' ==	 'b'	     == 0
	 '2' >	 'b'	     == 0
	  2  >	 'b'	     == 1
	  2  >	 '1b'	     == 1
	  2  >	 '9b'	     == 0
	 -1  == -'1'	     == 1
	  0  ==	 '--1'	     == 1

       expr4
       -----
       expr5  +	 expr5 ..     number addition expr5 - expr5 ..	   number sub-
       traction

       Examples:

	 1 + 3 - 3	    == 1
	 1 + '2'	    == 3

       expr5
       -----
       expr6 . expr6 ..	    string concatenation

       Examples:

	 'a' . 'b'	     == 'ab'
	 'aaa' . '' . 'c'    == 'aaac'

       expr6
       -----

       - expr6		    unary minus
       + expr6		    unary plus
       ! expr6		    logical NOT

       For '-' the sign of the number is changed.
       For '+' the number is unchanged.
       For '!' non-zero becomes zero, zero becomes one.

       A String will be converted to a Number first.

       These operations can be repeated and mixed.  Examples:

	  --9		     == 9
	 ---9		     == -9
	  -+9		     == 9
	  !-9		     == 0
	  !''		     == 1
	 !'x'		     == 0
	  !!9		     == 1

       expr7
       -----

       number		    number constant
       -----

       Decimal number.	Examples:

	 0		     == 0
	 0000		     == 0
	 01		     == 1
	 123		     == 123
	 10000		     == 10000

       string
       ------
       "string"		    string constant

       Note that double quotes are used.

       A string constant accepts these special characters:
	 \b	 backspace <bs>
	 \e	 escape <esc>
	 \n	 newline
	 \r	 return <cr>
	 \t	 tab <tab>
	 \\	 backslash
	 \"	 double quote

       Examples:

	 "\"Hello,\tWorld!\""
	 "Hi,\nthere!"

       literal-string
       --------------
       'string'		    string constant

       Note that single quotes are used.

       This string is taken as it is.  No backslashes are removed  or  have  a
       special	meaning.   The only exception is that two quotes stand for one
       quote.

       Examples:

	 'All\slashes\are\saved.'
	 'This string contains doubled single quotes ''here'''

       option
       ------
       &option		     option value (local one is preferred, if  exists)
       &g:option	      global  option value &l:option		 local
       option value

       Examples:

	 echo 'Terminal size: '.&columns.'x'.&lines
	 if &columns > 100

       Any valid option name can be used here (note that "all" in  ":set  all"
       is a pseudo option).  See ":set options" section above.

       environment variable
       --------------------
       $VAR		     environment variable

       The  String value of any environment variable.  When it is not defined,
       the result is an empty string.

       Examples:

	 'This is my $PATH env: ' . $PATH
	 'vifmrc at ' . $MYVIFMRC . ' is used.'

       builtin variable
       --------------------
       v:var		     builtin variable

       Information exposed by vifm for use in scripting.

       v:count
	 count passed to : command, 0 by default.  Can be used in mappings  to
       pass
	 count to a different command.
       v:count1
	 same as v:count, but 1 by default.
       v:servername
	 See below.

       function call
       -------------
       function(expr1, ...)  function call

       See "Functions" section below.

       Examples:

	 "'" . filetype('.') . "'"
	 filetype('.') == 'reg'

       expression nesting

       tab.
       term({command})	     String	 Like system(),	 but  for  interactive
       commands.

       chooseopt({opt})

       Retrieves values of options related to file choosing.  {opt} can be one
       of:
	   files      returns argument of --choose-files or empty string
	   dir	      returns argument of --choose-dir or empty string
	   cmd	      returns argument of --on-choose or empty string
	   delimiter  returns argument of --delimiter or the default one (\n)

       executable({expr})

       If {expr} is absolute or relative path, checks whether path destination
       exists  and  refers  to an executable, otherwise checks whether command
       named {expr} is present in directories listed  in  $PATH.   Checks  for
       various	executable  extensions	on Windows.  Returns boolean value de-
       scribing result of the check.

       Example:

	 " use custom default viewer script if it's available and installed
	 " in predefined system directory, otherwise try to find it elsewhere
	 if executable('/usr/local/bin/defviewer')
	     fileview * /usr/local/bin/defviewer %c
	 else
	     if executable('defviewer')
		 fileview * defviewer %c
	     endif
	 endif

       expand({expr})

       Expands environment variables and macros in {expr} just like it's  done
       for  command-line  commands.   Returns  a string.  See "Command macros"
       section above.

       Examples:

	 " percent sign
	 :echo expand('%%')
	 " the last part of directory name of the other pane
	 :echo expand('%D:t')
	 " $PATH environment variable (same as `:echo $PATH`)
	 :echo expand('$PATH')

       extcached({cache}, {path}, {extcmd})

       Caches value of {extcmd} external command automatically updating it  as
       necessary  based	 on  monitoring change date of a {path}.  The cache is
       invalidated when file or its meta-data is updated.  A single  path  can
       have multiple caches associated with it.

       {path} value is normalized, but symbolic links in it aren't resolved.

       Example:

	 " display number and size of blocks actually used by a file or directory
	 set statusline+=" Uses: %{ extcached('uses',
					     expand('%c'),
					     expand('stat --format=%%bx%%B %c')) }"

       filetype({fnum} [, {resolve}])

       The  result  is	a string, which represents file type and is one of the
       list:
	   exe	   executables
	   reg	   regular files
	   link	   symbolic links
	   broken  broken symbolic links (appears only when resolving)
	   dir	   directories
	   char	   character devices
	   block   block devices
	   fifo	   pipes
	   sock	   *nix domain sockets
	   ?	   unknown file type (should not normally appear)

       The result can also be an empty string in case of invalid argument.

       Parameter {fnum} can have following values:
	   - '.' to get type of file under the cursor in the active pane
	   - numerical value base 1 to get type of file on specified line num-
       ber

       Optional	 parameter  {resolve}  is  treated  as a boolean and specifies
       whether symbolic links should be resolved.

       fnameescape({expr})

       Escapes parameter to make it suitable for use as an argument of a :com-
       mand.  List of escaped characters includes %, which is doubled.

       Usage example:

	 " navigate to most recently modified file in current directory
	 execute 'goto' fnameescape(system('ls -t | head -1'))

       getpanetype()

       Retrieves string describing type of current pane.  Possible return val-
       ues:
	   regular	regular file listing of some directory
	   custom	custom file list (%u)
	   very-custom	very custom file list (%U)
	   tree		tree view

       has({property})

       Allows examining internal parameters from scripts to  e.g.  figure  out
       environment  in which application is running.  Returns 1 if property is
       true/present, otherwise 0 is returned.  Currently the following proper-
       ties are supported (anything else will yield 0):
	   unix	 runs in *nix-like environment (including Cygwin)
	   win	 runs on Windows

       Usage example:

	 " skip user/group on Windows
	 if !has('win')
	     let $RIGHTS = '%10u:%-7g '
	 endif

	 execute 'set' 'statusline="  %t%= %A '.$RIGHTS.'%15E %20d  "'

       layoutis({type})

       Checks  whether current interface layout is {type} or not, where {type}
       can be:
	   only	   single-pane mode
	   split   double-pane mode (either vertical or horizon split)
	   vsplit  vertical split (left and right panes)
	   hsplit  horizontal split (top and bottom panes)

       Usage example:

	 " automatically split vertically before enabling preview
	 :nnoremap w :if layoutis('only') | vsplit | endif | view!<cr>

       paneisat({loc})

       Checks whether position of active pane in current layout matches one of
       the following locations:
	   top	   pane reaches top border
	   bottom  pane reaches bottom border
	   left	   pane reaches left border
	   right   pane reaches right border

       system({command})

       Runs  the command in shell and returns its output (joined standard out-
       put and standard error streams).	 All trailing newline  characters  are
       stripped	 to allow easy appending to command output.  Ctrl-C should in-
       terrupt the command.

       Use this function to consume output of external commands that don't re-
       quire  user  interaction	 and term() for interactive commands that make
       use of terminal and are capable of handling stream redirection.

       Usage example:

	 " command to enter .git/ directory of git-repository (when ran inside one)
	 command! cdgit :execute 'cd' system('git rev-parse --git-dir')

       tabpagenr([{arg}])

       When called without arguments returns number of current tab  page  base
       one.

       When called with "$" as an argument returns number of the last tab page
       base one, which is the same as number of tabs.

       term({command})

       Same as system() function, but user interface is	 shutdown  during  the
       execution  of  the  command, which makes sure that external interactive
       applications won't affect the way terminal is used by vifm.

       Usage example:

	 " command to change directory by picking it via fzf
	 command! fzfcd :execute 'cd' "'".term('find -type d | fzf 2> /dev/tty')."'"

Menus and dialogs
       When navigating to some path from a menu there is a difference  in  end
       location	 depending  on	whether path has trailing slash or not.	 Files
       normally don't have trailing slashes so "file/" won't work and one  can
       only  navigate  to  a  file anyway.  On the other hand with directories
       there are two options: navigate to a directory or inside of it.	To al-
       low  both  use cases, the first one is used on paths like "dir" and the
       second one for "dir/".

       Commands

       :range navigate to a menu line.

       :exi[t][!] :q[uit][!] :x[it][!]
	      leave menu mode.

       :noh[lsearch]
	      reset search match highlighting.

       :w[rite] {dest}
	      write all menu lines into file specified by {dest}.

       General

       j, Ctrl-N - move down.
       k, Ctrl-P - move up.
       Enter, l - select and exit the menu.
       Ctrl-L - redraw the menu.

       Escape, Ctrl-C, ZZ, ZQ, q - quit.

       In all menus

       The following set of keys has the same meaning as in normal mode.

       Ctrl-B, Ctrl-F
       Ctrl-D, Ctrl-U
       Ctrl-E, Ctrl-Y
       /, ?
       n, N
       [count]G, [count]gg
       H, M, L
       zb, zt, zz

       zh - scroll menu items [count] characters to the right.
       zl - scroll menu items [count] characters to the left.
       zH - scroll menu items half of screen width characters to the right.
       zL - scroll menu items half of screen width characters to the left.

       : - enter command line mode for menus (currently only :exi[t], :q[uit],
       :x[it] and :{range} are supported).

       b - interpret content of the menu as list of paths and use it to create
       custom view in place of previously active  pane.	  See  "Custom	views"
       section below.
       B - same as above, but creates unsorted view.

       v  - load menu content into quickfix list of the editor (Vim compatible
       by assumption) or if list doesn't  have	separators  after  file	 names
       (colons) open each line as a file name.


       Below  is  description of additional commands and reaction on selection
       in some menus and dialogs.

       Apropos menu

       Selecting menu item runs man on a given topic.  Menu  won't  be	closed
       automatically to allow view several pages one by one.

       Command-line mode abbreviations menu

       Type dd on an abbreviation to remove it.

       c  leaves menu preserving file selection and inserts right-hand side of
       selected command into command-line.

       Color scheme menu

       Selecting name of a color scheme applies it the same way as  if	":col-
       orscheme <name>" was executed on the command-line.

       Commands menu

       Selecting command executes it with empty arguments (%a).

       dd on a command to remove.

       Marks menu

       Selecting mark navigates to it.

       dd on a mark to remove it.

       Bookmarks menu

       Selecting a bookmark navigates to it.

       Type dd on a bookmark to remove it.

       gf and e also work to make it more convenient to bookmark files.

       Trash (:lstrash) menu

       r on a file name to restore it from trash.

       dd deletes file under the cursor.

       Trashes menu

       dd empties selected trash in background.

       Directory history and Trashes menus

       Selecting  directory  name will change directory of the current view as
       if :cd command was used.

       Directory stack menu

       Selecting directory name will rotate stack to  put  selected  directory
       pair at the top of the stack.

       Filetype menu

       Commands from vifmrc or typed in command-line are displayed above empty
       line.  All commands below empty line are from .desktop files.

       c leaves menu preserving file selection and inserts command after :! in
       command-line mode.

       Grep, find, locate, bookmarks and user menu with navigation (%M macro)

       gf  -  navigate	previously  active  view  to  currently selected item.
       Leaves menu mode except for grep menu.  Pressing Enter key has the same
       effect.

       e - open selected path in the editor, stays in menu mode.

       c  - leave menu preserving file selection and insert file name after :!
       in command-line mode.

       User menu without navigation (%m macro)

       c leaves menu preserving file selection and inserts whole line after :!
       in command-line mode.

       Grep menu

       Selecting  file	(via Enter or l key) opens it in editor set by 'vicmd'
       at given line number.  Menu won't  be  closed  automatically  to	 allow
       viewing more than one result.

       See above for "gf" and "e" keys description.

       Command-line history menu

       Selecting  an item executes it as command-line command, search query or
       local filter.

       c leaves menu preserving file selection and inserts line into  command-
       line of appropriate kind.

       Volumes menu

       Selecting  a drive navigates previously active pane to the root of that
       drive.

       Fileinfo dialog

       Enter, q - close dialog

       Sort dialog

       h, Space - switch ascending/descending.
       q - close dialog

       One shortcut per sorting key (see the dialog).

       Attributes (permissions or properties) dialog

       h, Space - check/uncheck.
       q - close dialog

       Item states:

       - * - checked flag.

       - X - means that it has different value for files in selection.

       - d (*nix only) - (only for execute flags) means u-x+X, g-x+X or	 o-x+X
	 argument  for	the  chmod program.  If you're not on OS X and want to
	 remove execute permission bit from all files, but preserve it for di-
	 rectories,  set  all execute flags to 'd' and check 'Set Recursively'
	 flag.

       Jobs menu

       dd requests cancellation of job under cursor.  The job won't be removed
       from  the list, but marked as being cancelled (if cancellation was suc-
       cessfully requested).  A message will pop up if	the  job  has  already
       stopped.	  Note	that on Windows cancelling external programs like this
       might not work, because their parent shell doesn't have any windows.

       e key displays errors of selected job if any were collected.  They  are
       displayed  in a new menu, but you can get back to jobs menu by pressing
       h.


       Undolist menu

       r - reset undo position to group under the cursor.


       Media menu

       Selecting a device either mounts (if it wasn't mounted  yet)  or	 navi-
       gates to its first mount point.

       Selecting a mount point navigates to it.

       Selecting "not mounted" line causes mounting.

       Selecting any other line does nothing.

       r - reload the list.

       m  -  mount/unmount  device (cursor should be positioned on lines under
       device information).

       [ - put cursor on the previous device.

       ] - put cursor on the next device.


Custom views
       Definition

       Normally file views contain list of files from a single directory,  but
       sometimes  it's	useful to populate them with list of files that do not
       belong to the same directory, which is what custom views are for.

       Presentation

       Custom views are still related to directory they were in before	custom
       list  was  loaded.   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<space here>
	     \ 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 <com-
       mand> or +<command>.  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.  It's not  set  when
	      outside  FUSE  mount  point.   When vifm is used inside terminal
	      multiplexer, it tries to set this variable as well  (it  doesn't
	      work this way on its own).
