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 without having to learn a new set of commands.

OPTIONS

       vifm starts in the current directory unless it is given a different directory  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 behaviour :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 character.

       --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 writing, 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 +<command> 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  double
              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  directory  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 description.

       $      move cursor to the last column.  See 'lsview' option description.

       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 _ commands  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 direction 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 direction 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' options 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 'dotfiles' 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 appending 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  excludes  that sub-tree.  For compare views zd hides group of adjacent
              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
              automatically 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] modifies range.

       Ctrl-O go backwards through directory history of current view.  Nonexistent 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 possible for better performance.  As a
              special case calculating size of ".." entry results in calculation of size of current directory.

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

       If file under cursor is selected, each selected  item  is  processed,  otherwise  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 current 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 lowercase.  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 uppercase.  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 extension).

       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' option 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 important 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 command).  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 letter, for all other sorting keys vifm uses size, uid, ...

       )      go to next group.  See ( key description above.

       {      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".

       [z     go to first sibling of current entry.

       ]z     go to last sibling of current entry.

       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.  Lowercase 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 multiplied. 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").   Contrary  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 region;

         - invert - amend selection by inverting selection of elements in selection 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  accepting  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 selection), 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 similar 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 occurrence).

       [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: command, 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 option.

       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 current 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
       uppercase 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 active 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 inactive 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 specified  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 following 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 comment.  Not all commands support
       inline comments as their syntax conflicts with names of registers and  fields  where  double  quotes  are
       allowed.

       Most of the commands have two forms: complete and the short one.  Example:

         :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 execution.

       '|' 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 escaped:

           :[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 editor.  "!" 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 argument list.

                                                :apropos

       :apropos keyword...
              create  a  menu  of  items  returned  by the apropos command.  Selecting an item in the menu opens
              corresponding man page.  By default 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 directory level)
                - ** - matches any character (i.e., can match path of arbitrary 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 combination.
              {event}  and {pat} can be omitted to list all autocommands.  To list any autocommands for specific
              pattern one can use * placeholder 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 bookmarking 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  accepted  in  rhs  of  mappings  (see  "Mappings"  section  below).
              Abbreviations 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 expansion.

                                                :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  argument 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 punctuation  characters  can  be  used  as
              separators.

       :[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 recursively.

                                                :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 corresponding 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 directory 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 argument 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 remains 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 command 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 example:

                " 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
              incompatible 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 navigation 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 overwrite.

                                                :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.

              section below).  Trash directories  which  are  specified  via  %r  and/or  %u  also  get  deleted
              completely.   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.

              associate  given  program  list  to each of the patterns.  Associated 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 association when the default isn't found.  When program entry doesn't contain  any
              of  vifm  macros, name of current file is appended 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" section 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 Windows), 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 $DISPLAY 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 displayed 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 selected 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.  Ignores 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 request inversion of search (look for
              lines that do not match pattern).  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 altering 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 moment.

       :hi[ghlight] clear
              reset all highlighting to builtin defaults and removed all filename-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 pattern 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 'tabscope')
        - 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
        - SuggestBox - color of key suggestion box
        - CurrLine - line at cursor position in active view
        - OtherLine - line at cursor position in inactive view
        - Selected - color of selected files
        - Directory - color of directories
        - Link - color of symbolic links in the views
        - 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
        - black   and lightblack
        - red     and lightred
        - green   and lightgreen
        - yellow  and lightyellow
        - 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 better 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  Duplicated  entries
       were altered by adding an underscore followed by numerical suffix.

       There are two colors (foreground and background) and only one bold attribute.  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 background colors independently, but for
       consistency with terminal emulators this is available only implicitly by using light versions of  colors.
       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 depends 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 terminal (on *nixes it can also be set
       via X resources), e.g. xterm-256color.  One  can  find  list  of  available  terminal  names  by  listing
       /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
       :highlight 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 expected.

                                                :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 variable 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  already  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 command for active terminal multiplexer, thus the list is  not  handled
              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 command from overwriting existing marks.

                                                :marks

       :marks create a pop-up menu of marks.

       :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 overwrite.

       :norm[al][!] commands
              execute normal mode commands.  If "!" is used, user defined mappings 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) before it.

                                                :only

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

       :[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 instead
              of copying them.  During this operation no confirmation dialogs will  be  shown,  all  checks  are
              performed beforehand.

                                                :pwd

                                                :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 history or keys
              mapped in current session).

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

       :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.  Starting 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 enabled.

       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 absolute ones beforehand.

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

                                                :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 option^=x
               - for charset options - option=x, option+=x, option-=x and option^=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 options.

                                                :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 current 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  select  primary  sorting  key.   When
              'viewcolumns'  options is empty and 'lsview' is off, changing primary sorting key will also affect
              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 allowed.

       :sync! change the other pane to the current pane directory and synchronize 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 corresponding properties  of  the  current
              pane.  Arguments have the following meanings:

                - location - current directory of the pane;

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

                - localopts - all local options;

                - filters - all filters;

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

                - 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).

       :tabp[revious] {n}
              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 update 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 character.

                                                :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 directory.

                                                :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 automatically 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.

       :unl[et][!] $ENV_VAR1 $ENV_VAR2 ...
              remove environment variables. Add ! to omit displaying of warnings 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 */`  unselects
              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.

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

       :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

              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 directory of active pane).

                                                :wincmd

       :[count]winc[md] {arg}

                                                :wq

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

       :wqa[ll][!]
              same as :qall, but ! only disables check of backgrounded commands.

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 command.

       %IU    same as %U, but gives up terminal before running external command.

       %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 preview 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 terminal 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 description.

       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 directory.

       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 backgrounding:

       %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 cancellation can be requested in the :jobs
       menu via dd shortcut.

       You can see if command is still running in the :jobs menu.  Backgrounded commands have  progress  instead
       of process id at the line beginning.

       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, :locate.

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 pattern 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 description  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 explicitly if the pattern should match the
       whole name or path.

       Patterns with globs

       "Globs"  section  below provides short overview of globs and some important 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/`  directory  (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 symbol.

       `*` 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 character class matches against any of
       characters listed in it.  For example

         :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 negotiation 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 single 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 exception 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, specific for a particular *prg option, and %% sequence for inserting
              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
              cursor 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
              command.  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 cursor 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 elements are present, the behaviour is default (depends on operating
              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" command 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  {prefix} 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 enables behaviour of older versions of
              vifm.  Flags:
               - f - when included, running :filter command results in not inverted (matching files are filtered
              out)  and  :filter!  in  inverted  (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 sequence 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 regardless 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 commands 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 borders

              If value is omitted, its default value is used.  Example:

                set fillchars=vborder:.

       'findprg'
              type: string
              default: "find %s %a -print , -type d \( ! -readable -o ! -executable \) -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 appended 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  escaped
              version of the arguments

              Starting  with  Windows Server 2003 a `where` command is available.  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 | $VIFM)/fuse/"
              Directory  to  be used as a root dir for FUSE mounts.  Value of the option can contain environment
              variables (in form "$envname"), which will be  expanded  (prepend  it  with  a  slash  to  prevent
              expansion).  The value should expand to an absolute path.

              If  you  change  this  option,  vifm  won't remount anything.  It affects 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, specific for a particular *prg option, and %% sequence for inserting percent
              sign literally.  This option should include the %i macro to specify placement of "-v" string  when
              inversion  of results is requested, %a or %A macro to specify placement of arguments 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_silver_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 directory 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  situations  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, specific for a particular *prg option, and %% sequence for inserting
              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 installed)
                       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 provided)
               - mount-point= - specifies a mount point (can be absent or appear more than once)

              All other lines are ignored.  Each `device=` starts a new section 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  description.
              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 directories) 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 between 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'  option  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 configured 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:

       '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 supported:
               %=  - 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 cursor.  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  enables  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 created 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 consider.
                                {not set}     Precision of 1 for integer part < 10,
                                              0 otherwise (provides old behaviour).
                  space         {present}     Insert space before unit symbols.
                                              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  directory  (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  implicitly:  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 happens 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 sorting 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  considered  to  be
              always  empty.   Only first match of each regular expression 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 previous 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 'classify')

              - %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 default),
              '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  perform  file-system  operations,
              otherwise  system calls are used instead (much faster and supports progress tracking).  The option
              should eventually be removed.  Mostly *nix-like systems are affected.

       '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 strftime" 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,$XDG_DATA_HOME/vifm/Trash"
              List of trash directory path specifications, separated with commas.  Each list item either defines
              an absolute path to trash directory or a path relative to a mount point  root  when  list  element
              starts  with  "%r/".   Value of the option can contain environment variables (of form "$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 directory, 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 prevent 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 inside 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 multiplexers 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 characters)
              Specifies  which characters in command-line mode should be considered as part of a word.  Value of
              the option is comma-separated list of ranges.  If both endpoints of a range match, single 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-defined  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 special 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 keyboard 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 surprises, but <c-h> and <bs> are treated
       differently in different environments (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 commands.  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
                  expr2 || expr2 ..       logical OR

       expr2      expr3
                  expr3 && expr3 ..       logical AND

       expr3      expr4
                  expr4 == expr4          equal
                  expr4 != expr4          not equal
                  expr4 >  expr4          greater than
                  expr4 >= expr4          greater than or equal
                  expr4 <  expr4          smaller than
                  expr4 <= expr4          smaller than or equal

       expr4      expr5
                  expr5 + expr5 ..        number addition
                  expr5 - expr5 ..        number subtraction

       expr5      expr6
                  expr6 . expr6 ..        string concatenation

       expr6      expr7
                  - expr6                 unary minus
                  + expr6                 unary plus
                  ! expr6                 logical NOT

       expr7      number                  number constant
                  "string"                string constant, \ is special
                  'string'                string constant, ' is doubled
                  &option                 option value
                  $VAR                    environment variable
                  v:var                   builtin variable
                  function(expr1, ...)    function call
                  (expr1)                 nested expression

       ".." 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 subtraction

       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
       ------------------
       (expr1)               nested expression

       Groups any other expression of arbitrary complexity enforcing order in which operators are applied.

       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 describing 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 number

       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 :command.  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 values:
           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
       properties 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 output and standard error streams).
       All trailing newline characters are stripped to allow easy appending to command  output.   Ctrl-C  should
       interrupt the command.

       Use  this  function to consume output of external commands that don't require 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 allow 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 ":colorscheme <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.

       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
         directories, 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 successfully 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 navigates 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,
       relative 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 searchable.  Only file names are taken into
       account (might be changed in future, 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 directory 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 operation, which was undone is normal.

       Operations

       All operations that add files are forbidden for custom views.  For example, 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 distinct.

       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 output;
        - 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 substituting it.

       Examples

       The defaults corresponds to probably the most common use case  of  comparing  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 configuration 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 behaviour;
        - 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 comparison;
        - 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 order:
        - $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 following 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 $MYVIFMRC.

       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 configured 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
       example:

         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 something 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 extension 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 supported:

       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 remote 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
       addressed 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 directory (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 'viewcolumns' option (see "Column view"
           section below for details);

         - in a multicolumn list manner which looks almost like `ls  -x`  command  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 similar navigation keys.

       Also some of options can be ignored if they don't affect view displaying 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 descriptions, 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 supported:

       - 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 column, 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 rendering.

       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, ErrorMsg, StatusLine, JobLine,  SuggestBox
           and WildMenu are always determined by the primary color scheme;

         - CurrLine,  Selected, Directory, Link, BrokenLink, Socket, Device, Executable, Fifo, CmpMismatch, Win,
           AuxWin and OtherWin are determined 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 directory.

       There are two scenarios of using trash in vifm:

         1. As a place for storing files that were cut by "d" and may be inserted 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
       directory, 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 <command> or +<command>.  For example:

         vifm --remote -c 'cd /'
         vifm --remote '+cd /'

       To  change  directory  not  using  command-line  mode commands one can specify 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  default  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 Windows: 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).
