NAME
       vifm - vi file manager

SYNOPSIS
       vifm [OPTION]...
       vifm [OPTION]... LWIN_DIR
       vifm [OPTION]... LWIN_DIR RWIN_DIR

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

OPTIONS
       vifm  starts  in	 the  current directory unless it is given a different
       directory on the command line.

       <lwinpath>
	      Starts Vifm in the specified path.

       <lwinpath> <rwinpath>
	      Starts Vifm in the specified paths.

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

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

       Paths  to  files	 are  also allowed in case you want vifm to start with
       some archive opened.  If you want to select file, prepend its path with
       --select.

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

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

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

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

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

       --logging
	      Log some errors to  $VIFM/log.   Also  /var/log/vifm-startup-log
	      (on  *nix)  and  startup-log  in the directory of executable (on
	      Windows) is used to  log	startup	 process  (when	 configuration
	      directory isn't determined).

       --remote
	      Sends the rest of command line to the active vifm server (one of
	      already running instances if any).  When	there  is  no  server,
	      quits  silently.	There is no limit on how many arguments can be
	      processed.  One can combine --remote with -c <command> or +<com-
	      mand>  to	 execute  command in already running instance of vifm.
	      See also "Client-Server" section below.

       -c <command> or +<command>
	      Run command-line mode <command> on startup.   Commands  in  such
	      arguments are executed in the order they appear in command line.
	      Commands with spaces or special symbols must be enclosed in dou-
	      ble  or  single  quotes or all special symbols should be escaped
	      (the exact syntax strongly depends on shell).

       --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, 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.

       gl or Enter
	      enter directory or launch a file.

       H      move to the first file in the window.

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

       L      move to the last file in the window.

       Ctrl-F or Page Down
	      move forward one page.

       Ctrl-B or Page Up
	      move back one page.

       Ctrl-D jump back one half page.

       Ctrl-U jump forward one half page.

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

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

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

       Space  switch file lists.

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].

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 |
	      maximize current view.

       Ctrl-W _
	      maximize current view.

       Ctrl-W =
	      make size of two views equal.

       For 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 multiplica-
       tion of those two.  So "2 Ctrl-W 2 -" decreases window size by 4	 lines
       or columns.

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       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 (excluding "." and ".." special directories, which
	   appearance is controlled by the 'dotdirs' option);

	 - manual filter for file names;

	 - automatic filter for file names;

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

       Performing  operations  on  manual  filter for file names automatically
       does the same on automatic one.	The  file  name	 filter	 is  separated
       mainly for convenience purpose and to get more deterministic behaviour.

       The basic vim folding key bindings are used for filtering files.

       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.  For this a slash is
       appended to a directory name before testing whether it matches the fil-
       ter.  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\/?$/

       za     toggle visibility of dot files.

       zo     show dot files.

       zm     hide dot files.

       zf     add selected files to file name filter.

       zO     show files hidden by file name filter.

       zM     restore all filters.

       zR     remove all filters.

       zd     exclude  selection or current file from custom view.  Does noth-
	      ing for regular view.

       =regular expression pattern
	      filter out files that don't match regular	 expression.   Whether
	      view  is updated as regular expression is changed depends on the
	      value of the 'incsearch' option.	This kind of filter  is	 auto-
	      matically reset when directory is changed.

Other Normal Mode Keys
       [count]:
	      enter command line mode.	[count] generates range.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       ga     calculate directory size.	 Uses cached directory sizes when pos-
	      sible for better performance.

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

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

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

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

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

       gv     go to visual mode restoring last selection.

       gs     restore last t selection, like gv for visual mode selection.

       gu<selector>
	      make names of selected files lowercase.

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

       gU<selector>
	      make names of selected files uppercase.

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

       e      explore file in the current pane.

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

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

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

       cl     change link target.

       co     only for *nix
	      change file owner.

       cg     only for *nix
	      change file group.

       cp     change  file  attributes	(permission  on *nix and properties on
	      Windows).

       [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.

       v or V enter visual mode, clears current selection.

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

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

       ZQ     same as :quit!.

       ZZ     same as :quit.

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

       (      goto 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, ...

       )      goto next group.	See ( key description above.

Using Count
       You can use count with commands like yy.

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

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

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

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

       Registers should be specified by hitting double quote key followed by a
       register name.  Count is specified after	 register  name.   By  default
       commands use unnamed register, which has double quote as its name.

       Though  all  commands  accept  registers, most of commands ignores them
       (for example H or Ctrl-U).  Other commands can fill register or	append
       new files to it.

       Presently vifm supports ", _, a-z and A-Z characters as register names.

       As mentioned above " is unnamed register and has special meaning of the
       default register.  Every time when you use named registers (a-z and  A-
       Z)  unnamed  register  is  updated to contain same list of files as the
       last used register.

       _ is black hole register.  It can be used for writing, but its list  is
       always empty.

       Registers  with names from a to z and from A to Z are named ones.  Low-
       ercase registers are cleared before adding new files,  while  uppercase
       aren't and should be used to append new files to the existing file list
       of appropriate lowercase register (A for a, B for b, ...).

       Registers can be changed on :empty command if they contain files	 under
       trash directory (see "Trash directory" section below).

       Registers do not contain one file more than once.

       Example:

	 "a2yy

       puts names of two files to register a (and to the unnamed register),

	 "Ad

       removes	one file and append its name to register a (and to the unnamed
       register),

	 p or "ap or "Ap

       inserts previously yanked and deleted files into current directory.

Selectors
       y, d, D, !, gu and gU commands accept selectors.	 You can combine  them
       with any of selectors below to quickly remove or yank several files.

       Most  of	 selectors are like vi motions: j, k, gg, G, H, L, M, %, f, F,
       ;, comma, ', ^, 0 and $.	 But there are some additional ones.

       a      all files in current view.

       s      selected files.

       S      all files except selected.

       Examples:

	 - dj - delete file under cursor and one below;

	 - d2j - delete file under cursor and two below;

	 - y6gg - yank all files from cursor position to 6th file in the list.

       When you pass a count to whole command and its selector they are multi-
       plied. So:

	 - 2d2j - delete file under cursor and four below;

	 - 2dj - delete file under cursor and two below;

	 - 2y6gg  -  yank  all	files from cursor position to 12th file in the
	   list.

Visual Mode
       Visual mode has to generic operating submodes:

	 - plain selection as it is in Vim;

	 - selection editing submode.

       Both modes select files in range from cursor position at	 which	visual
       mode  was  entered to current cursor position (let's call it "selection
       region").  Each of two borders can be adjusted by swapping them via "o"
       or  "O"	keys  and  updating cursor position with regular cursor motion
       keys.  Obviously, once initial cursor position  is  altered  this  way,
       real start position becomes unavailable.

       Plain  Vim-like visual mode starts with cleared selection, which is not
       restored on rejecting selection ("Escape", "Ctrl-C", "v",  "V").	  Con-
       trary  to it, selection editing doesn't clear previously selected files
       and restores them after reject.	Accepting selection by	performing  an
       operation on selected items (e.g. yanking them via "y") moves cursor to
       the top of current selection region (not to the top most selected  file
       of the view).

       In  turn,  selection  editing  supports three types of editing (look at
       statusbar to know which one is currently active):

	 - append - amend selection by selecting elements in selection region;

	 - remove - amend  selection  by  deselecting  elements	 in  selection
	   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 accept-
       ing selectors they operate on selected items.

       Enter  save selection and go back to normal mode not moving cursor.

       av     leave  visual mode if in amending mode (restores previous selec-
	      tion), otherwise switch to amending selection mode.

       gv     restore previous visual selection.

       v, V, Ctrl-C or Escape
	      leave visual mode if not in amending mode, otherwise  switch  to
	      normal visual selection.

       Ctrl-G switch  type of amending by round robin scheme: append -> remove
	      -> invert.

       :      enter command line mode.	Selection is cleared  on  leaving  the
	      mode.

       o      switch active selection bound.

       O      switch active selection bound.

       gu, u  make names of selected files lowercase.

       gU, U  make names of selected files uppercase.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       R      reload view preserving scroll position.

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

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

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

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

       [count]N
	      repeat previous search  in  reverse  direction  (for  [count]-th
	      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: com-
       mand, search, prompt and filtering.

       Down,  Up, Left, Right, Home, End and Delete are extended keys and they
       are not available if  vifm  is  compiled	 with  --disable-extended-keys
       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  cur-
	      rent command-line.

       Ctrl-] trigger abbreviation expansion.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


       Ctrl-X a
	      value of automatic filter of the active pane.

       Ctrl-X m
	      value of manual filter of the active pane.

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


       Ctrl-X /
	      last pattern from search history.

Command line editing
       vifm provides a facility to edit several kinds of data, that is usually
       edited  in  command-line mode, in external editor (using command speci-
       fied by 'vicmd' or 'vixcmd' option).  This has at least two  advantages
       over built-in command-line mode:
	 - one can use full power of Vim to edit text;
	 - finding and reusing history entries becomes possible.

       The facility is supported by four input submodes of the command-line:
	 - command;
	 - forward search;
	 - backward search;
	 - file rename (see description of cw and cW normal mode keys).

       Editing	command-line  using external editor is activated by the Ctrl-G
       shortcut.  It's also possible to do almost the  same  from  Normal  and
       Visual modes using q:, q/ and q? commands.

       Temporary file created for the purpose of editing the line has the fol-
       lowing structure:

	 1. First line, which is either empty or contains text already entered
	    in command-line.

	 2. 2nd	 and all other lines with history items starting with the most
	    recent one.	 Altering this lines in any way won't  change  history
	    items stored by vifm.

       After  editing  application  is	finished the first line of the file is
       taken as the result of operation, when  the  application	 returns  zero
       exit  code.  If the application returns an error (see :cquit command in
       Vim), all the edits made to the file are ignored, but the initial value
       of the first line is saved in appropriate history.

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.

       Most of the commands have two forms: complete and the short one.	 Exam-
       ple:

	 :noh[lsearch]

       This  means  the	 complete  command is nohlsearch, and the short one is
       noh.

       Most of command-line commands completely reset selection in the current
       view.  However, there are several exceptions:

	 - ":invert s" most likely leaves some files selected;

	 - :if	and :else commands doesn't affect selection on successful exe-
	   cution.

       '|' 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]!
	   :cmap
	   :cnoremap
	   :command
	   :filetype
	   :fileviewer
	   :filextype
	   :map
	   :mmap
	   :mnoremap
	   :nmap
	   :nnoremap
	   :noremap
	   :normal
	   :qmap
	   :qnoremap
	   :vmap
	   :vnoremap
	   :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.

       :apropos manpage
	      create a menu of items returned by the apropos command.  Select-
	      ing 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.

       :apropos
	      repeat last :apropos command.

	      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

	      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 cor-
	      responding name from the argument list.  "!"  forces  overwrite.
	      Macros are expanded.

						:colorscheme

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

       :colo[rscheme]

	      used to set border color (except	view  titles)  and  colors  in
	      menus and dialogs.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       :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

						:copy

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

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

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

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

						:dirs

       :dirs  display directory stack.

						:echo

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

						:edit

       :[range]e[dit] [file...]
	      open selected or passed file(s) in editor.  Accepts macros.

						:else

       :el[se]
	      execute  commands	 until next matching :endif if they previously
	      were not being executed.	See also help on :if and  :endif  com-
	      mands.

						:empty

       :empty permanently  remove  files  from	all  existing  non-empty trash
	      directories (see "Trash directory" section below).  Also	remove
	      all operations from undolist that have no sense after :empty and
	      remove all records about files located inside  directories  from
	      all  registers.	Removal	 is  performed as background task with
	      undetermined amount of work and can be checked via :jobs menu.

						:endif

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

						:execute

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

						:exit

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

						:file

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

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

						:filetype

       :filet[ype] pat1,pat2,... [{descr}]def_prog[ &],[{descr}]prog2[ &],...
	      associate	 given	program list to each of the patterns.  Associ-
	      ated program (command) is used by handlers of l and  Enter  keys
	      (and  also in the :file menu).  If you need to insert comma into
	      command just double it (",,").  Space followed by	 an  ampersand
	      as two last characters of a command means running of the command
	      in the background.  Optional description can be  given  to  each
	      command  to  ease	 understanding	of what command will do in the
	      :file menu.  Vifm will try the rest of the programs for an asso-
	      ciation  when  the  default  isn't  found.   When	 program entry
	      doesn't contain any of vifm macros,  name	 of  current  file  is
	      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,

       :filet[ype] filename
	      list (in menu mode) currently  registered	 patterns  that	 match
	      specified file name.  Same as ":filextype filename".

						:filextype

       :filex[type] pat1,pat2,... [{ description }] def_program,program2,...
	      same as :filetype, but this command is ignored if not running in
	      X.  In X :filextype is equal to :filetype.  See "Patterns"  sec-
	      tion  below  for	pattern	 definition.  See also "Automatic FUSE
	      mounts" section below.

	      For example, consider the following settings  (the  order	 might
	      seem strange, but it's for the demonstration purpose):

		filetype *.html,*.htm
			\ {View in lynx}
			\ lynx
		filextype *.html,*.htm
			\ {Open with dwb}
			\ dwb %f %i &,
		filetype *.html,*.htm
			\ {View in links}
			\ links
		filextype *.html,*.htm
			\ {Open with firefox}
			\ firefox %f &,
			\ {Open with uzbl}
			\ uzbl-browser %f %i &,

	      If  you're using vifm inside a terminal emulator that is running
	      in graphical environment (when X is used on *nix; always on Win-
	      dows), vifm attempts to run application in this order:

	      1. lynx
	      2. dwb
	      3. links
	      4. firefox
	      5. uzbl

	      If  there is no graphical environment (checked presence of $DIS-
	      PLAY environment variable on *nix; never	happens	 on  Windows),
	      the list will look like:

	      1. lynx
	      2. links

	      Just as if all :filextype commands were not there.

	      The  purpose of such differentiation is to allow comfortable use
	      of vifm with same settings in desktop environment/through remote
	      connection (SSH)/in native console.

       :filext[ype] filename
	      list  (in	 menu  mode)  currently registered patterns that match
	      specified file name.  Same as ":filetype filename".

						:fileviewer

       :filev[iewer] pat1,pat2,... command1,command2,...
	      register specified list of commands as viewers for each  of  the
	      patterns.	 Viewer is a command which output is captured and dis-
	      played in the second pane of vifm after 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[!] regular_expression_pattern

       :filter[!] /regular_expression_pattern/[flags]
	      will filter all the files out  of	 the  directory	 listing  that
	      match  the regular expression.  Using second variant you can use
	      the bar ('|') symbol without escaping.  Empty regular expression
	      (specified  by //, "" or '') means using of the last search pat-
	      tern.  Use '!' to control state of filter inversion after updat-
	      ing  filter value (also see 'cpoptions' description).  Filter is
	      matched case sensitively on *nix and case insensitively on  Win-
	      dows.

	      Supported flags:
		- "i" makes filter case insensitive;
		- "I" makes filter case sensitive.

	      Flags  might  be	repeated  multiple times, later ones win (e.g.
	      "iiiI" is equivalent to "I" and "IiIi" is the same as "i").

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

	      Note: vifm uses extended regular expressions.

       :filter
	      reset filter (set it to 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.

						: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][!]
	      repeats 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.

						:highlight

       :hi[ghlight]
	      will  show information about all highlight groups in the current
	      directory.

       :hi[ghlight] clear
	      will reset all highlighting to builtin defaults.

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

       :hi[ghlight]   (	  group-name   |   {pat1,pat2,...}  |  /regexp/[iI]  )
       cterm=style | ctermfg=color | ctermbg=color
	      sets  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
	- 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)
	- Border - color of vertical parts of the border
	- 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
	- 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

       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  bet-
       ter  to	put  "cterm" in front of others to prevent it from overwriting
       attributes set by "ctermfg" or "ctermbg" arguments.

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

       There  are  two	colors	(foreground  and background) and only one bold
       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  ter-
       minal   (on   *nixes  it	 can  also  be	set  via  X  resources),  e.g.
       xterm-256color.	One can find list of available terminal names by list-
       ing  /usr/lib/terminfo/.	  Number  of colors supported by terminal with
       current settings can be checked via "tput colors" command.

       Here is the hierarchy of highlight groups, which you need to  know  for
       using transparency:
	 JobLine
	 StatusLine
	   WildMenu
	 Border
	 CmdLine
	   ErrorMsg
	 Win
	   File name specific highlights
	     Directory
	     Link
	     BrokenLink
	     Socket
	     Device
	     Fifo
	     Executable
	       Selected
		 CurrLine
		 OtherLine
	 TopLine
	   TopLineSel

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

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

						:history

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

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

						:if

       :if {expr1}
	      starts conditional block.	  Commands  are	 executed  until  next
	      matching	:else  of  :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
		else
		    highlight CurrLine cterm=bold,reverse ctermfg=black ctermbg=white

						:invert

       :invert [f]
	      invert file name filter.

       :invert? [f]
	      show current filter state.

       :invert s
	      invert selection.

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

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

						:jobs

       :jobs  shows menu of current backgrounded processes.

						:let

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

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

       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  com-
	      mand  for active terminal multiplexer, thus the list is not han-
	      dled by vifm.

						:lstrash

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

						:mark

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

	      move  files  to  directory  of other view.  With "?" prompts for
	      destination file names in an editor.  "!" forces overwrite.

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

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

       :noh[lsearch]
	      clear selection in current pane.

						:normal

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

						:only

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

						:popd

						:pwd

       :pw[d] show the present working directory.

						:quit

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

						:registers

       :reg[isters]
	      display menu with registers content.

       :reg[isters] list ...

	      are mentioned in list (for example "az to display "", "a and  "z
	      content).

						:rename

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

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

						:restart

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

						:restore

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

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

						:screen

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

       :screen?
	      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.

						: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.
	      You can use following syntax:
	       - for all options - option, option? and option&

	       - for integer options - option=x, option+=x and option-=x
	       - for string options - option=x
	       - for string list options - option=x, option+=x and option-=x
	       - for enumeration options - 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 x to option
	       - option-=x - remove (or subtract) x from option
	       - option^=x - toggle x presence among values of the option

	      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)

	      sponding properties of the current  pane.	  Arguments  have  the
	      following meanings:

		- location - current directory of the pane;

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

		- localopts - all local options;

		- filters - all filters;

		- all - all of the above.

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.

       %S     Show command output in the status bar.

       %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.


       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 direc-
       tory.

       Appending  &  to	 the  end of a command causes it to be executed in the
       background.  Typically you want to run two kinds of  external  commands
       in the background:

	 - GUI applications that doesn't fork thus block vifm (:!sxiv %f &);

	 - console tools that do not work with terminal (:!mv %f %D &).

       You  don't  want to run terminal commands, which require terminal input
       or output something in background because they will mess up vifm's TUI.
       Anyway, if you did run such a command, you can use Ctrl-L key to update
       vifm's TUI.

       Rewriting the example command with macros given above with  background-
       ing:

       %m,  %M,	 %s,  %S,  %u and %U macros cannot be combined with background
       mark (" &") as it doesn't make much sense.

Command backgrounding
       Copy and move operation can take a lot of time to proceed.  That's  why
       vifm  supports  backgrounding  of  this	two operations.	 To run :copy,
       :move or :delete command in the background just add " &" at the end  of
       a command.

       For  each  background operation a new thread is created.	 Currently job
       cannot be stopped or paused.

       You can see if command is still	running	 in  the  :jobs	 menu.	 Back-
       grounded	 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 and :fileviewer commands support both
       globs and regular expressions as patterns to match file names  or  full
       paths.

       There are five possible ways to write them:

	 1. {comma-seperated-name-globs}

	 2. {{comma-seperated-path-globs}}

	 3. /name-regular-expression/[iI]

	 4. //path-regular-expression//[iI]

	 5. undecorated-pattern

       The  last  form is implicitly refers to one of others.  :highlight does
       not accept undecorated form, while  :filetype,  :filextype  and	:file-
       viewer treat it as list of name globals.

       Regular expression patterns are case insensitive by default.

       "Globs"	section below provides short overview of globs and some impor-
       tant points that one needs to know about them.

Globs
       Globs are always case insensitive as it makes sense in general case.

       *, ?, [ and ] are treated as special symbols in the pattern.  E.g.

	 :filetype * less %c

       matches all files.  One can use character classes for escaping, so

	 :filetype [*] less %c

       matches only one file name, the one which contains only	asterisk  sym-
       bol.

       *  means	 any  number  of any characters (possibly an empty substring),
       with one exception: asterisk at the pattern beginning doesn't match dot
       in the first position.  E.g.

	 :fileviewer *.zip,*.jar zip -sf %c

       associates  using  of  zip program to preview all files with zip or jar
       extensions as listing of their content.

       ? means any character at this position.	E.g.

	 :fileviewer ?.out file %c

       calls file tool for all files which has exactly	one  character	before
       their extension (e.g. a.out, b.out).

       Square brackets designate character class, which means that whole char-
       acter class matches against any of characters listed in it.  For	 exam-
       ple

	 :fileviewer *.[ch] highlight -O xterm256 -s dante --syntax c %c

       makes  vifm  call highlight program to colorize source and header files
       in C language for a 256-color terminal.	Equal command would be

	 :fileviewer *.c,*.h highlight -O xterm256 -s dante --syntax c %c


       Inside square brackets ^ or ! can be used for symbol class  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.

       'aproposprg'
	      type: string
	      default: "apropos %a"
	      Specifies format for an external command to be  invoked  by  the
	      :apropos command.	 The format supports expanding of macros, spe-
	      cific for a particular *prg option, and %% sequence for  insert-
	      ing  percent  sign literally.  This option should include the %a
	      macro to specify placement of arguments passed to	 the  :apropos
	      command.	 If the macro is not used, it will be implicitly added
	      after a space to the value of this option.

       'autochpos'
	      type: boolean
	      default: true
	      When disabled vifm will set cursor to the first line in the view
	      after  :cd and :pushd commands instead of saved cursor position.
	      Disabling this will also make vifm clear information about  cur-
	      sor position in the view history on :cd and :pushd commands (and
	      on startup if 'autochpos' is disabled in the vifmrc).  l key  in
	      the  ":history  ." and ":trashes" menus is treated like :cd com-
	      mand.  This option also affects bookmarks so that navigating  to
	      a bookmark doesn't restore cursor position.

       'columns' 'co'
	      type: integer
	      default: terminal width on startup
	      Terminal width in characters.

       'cdpath' 'cd'
	      type: string list
	      default: value of $CDPATH with commas instead of colons
	      Specifies locations to check on changing directory with relative
	      path that doesn't start with "./"	 or  "../".   When  non-empty,
	      current  directory  is  examined after directories listed in the
	      option.

	      This option doesn't affect completion of :cd command.

	      Example:

		set cdpath=~

	      This way ":cd bin" will switch  to  "~/bin"  even	 if  directory
	      named  "bin" exists in current directory, while ":cd ./bin" com-
	      mand will ignore value of 'cdpath'.

       'chaselinks'
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      When enabled path of view is always resolved to real path	 (with
	      all symbolic links expanded).

       'classify'
	      type: string list
	      default: ":dir:/"
	      Specifies	 file  name  prefixes  and  suffixes depending on file
	      types.  The format is: [{prefix}]:{filetype}:[{suffix}].	Either
	      {prefix}	or  {suffix}  or both of them can be omitted (which is
	      the default for all unspecified file types),  this  means	 empty
	      {prefix}	and/or {suffix}.  {prefix} and {suffix} should consist
	      exactly of one character.	 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  should  not be used.  List of file type
	      names can be found in the description of filetype() function.

       'confirm' 'cf'
	      type: boolean
	      default: true
	      Ask about 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
	      switch  active pane, otherwise <tab> and <c-i> go forward in the
	      view history.

       'dotdirs'
	      type: set
	      default: nonrootparent
	      Controls displaying of dot directories.	The  following	values
	      are possible:
	       - rootparent    - show "../" in root directory of file system
	       -  nonrootparent	 -  show "../" in non-root directories of file
	      system
	      Note that empty directories always contain "../"	entry  regard-
	      less of value of this option.  "../" disappears at the moment at
	      least one file is created.

       'fastrun'
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      With this option turned on you can run  partially	 entered  com-
	      mands  with unambiguous beginning using :! (e.g. :!Te instead of
	      :!Terminal or :!Te<tab>).

       'fillchars' 'fcs'
	      type: string list
	      default: ""
	      Sets characters used to fill borders.
		item	   default  Used for
		vborder:c  ' '	    left, middle and right vertical borders

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

		set fillchars=vborder:.

       'findprg'
	      type: string
	      default: "find %s %a -print , -type d \( ! -readable -o !	 -exe-
	      cutable \) -prune"
	      Specifies	 format	 for  an external command to be invoked by the
	      :find command.  The format supports expanding  of	 macros,  spe-
	      cific  for a particular *prg option, and %% sequence for insert-
	      ing percent sign literally.  This option should include  the  %s
	      macro  to specify placement of list of paths to search in and %a
	      or %A macro to specify placement	of  arguments  passed  to  the
	      :find command.  If some of the macros are not used, they will be
	      implicitly added after a space to the value of the option in the
	      following	 order:	 %s, %a.  Note that when neither %a nor %A are
	      specified, it's %a which is added implicitly.

	      The macros can slightly change their meaning depending on	 :find
	      command  arguments.  When the first argument points to an exist-
	      ing directory, %s is assigned all arguments and %a/%A  are  left
	      empty.   Otherwise,  %s  is assigned a dot (".") meaning current
	      directory or list of selected file names,	 if  any.   %a/%A  are
	      assigned arguments when first argument starts with a dash ("-"),
	      otherwise %a gets an escaped version of arguments, prepended  by
	      "-name" (on *nix) or "-iname" (on Windows) predicate.

	      %a  and  %A macros contain almost the same value, the difference
	      is that %a can be escaped and %A is never escaped.  %A is to  be
	      used  mainly  on Windows, where shell escaping is a mess and can
	      break command execution.

	      Starting from 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 in this case.
	      The  command  looks  for files only completely ignoring directo-
	      ries.

	      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.

       'fusehome'
	      type: string
	      default: "($TMPDIR | $TEMP | $TEMPDIR | $TMP)/vifm_FUSE/"
	      Directory	 to  be	 used as a root dir for FUSE mounts.  Value of
	      the  option  can	contain	  environment	variables   (in	  form
	      "$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,  spe-
	      cific  for a particular *prg option, and %% sequence for insert-
	      ing percent sign literally.  This option should include  the  %i
	      macro  to	 specify  placement  of	 "-v" string when inversion of
	      results is requested, %a or %A macro  to	specify	 placement  of
	      arguments	 passed to the :grep command and the %s macro to spec-
	      ify 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.

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

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

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

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

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



       'history' 'hi'
	      type: integer
	      default: 15
	      Maximum  number  of directories in the view history and lines in
	      the prompt, command line and search histories.

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

       'iec'  type: boolean
	      default: false
	      Use KiB, MiB, ... instead of KB, MB, ...

       '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.

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

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

       'locateprg'
	      type: string
	      default: "locate %a"
	      Specifies format for an external command to be  invoked  by  the
	      :locate  command.	 The format supports expanding of macros, spe-
	      cific for a particular *prg option, and %% sequence for  insert-
	      ing  percent  sign literally.  This option should include the %a
	      macro to specify placement of arguments passed  to  the  :locate
	      command.	 If the macro is not used, it will be implicitly added
	      after a space to the value of this option.

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

       'lsview'
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      type: local
	      When  this  option  is  set, directory view will be displayed in
	      multiple columns with file names similar to output  of  `ls  -x`
	      command.	 See  "ls-like view" section below for format descrip-
	      tion.

       'number' 'nu'
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      type: 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
	      type: local
	      Minimal number of characters for line number field.

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

				      nonumber		     number

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

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


       'rulerformat' 'ruf'
	      type: string
	      default: "%l/%S "
	      Determines  the  content	of the ruler.  Its minimal width is 13
	      characters and it's right aligned.  Following  macros  are  sup-
	      ported:
	       %l - file number
	       %L  -  total  number  of	 files in view (including filtered out
	      ones)
	       %- - number of filtered out files
	       %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.	Note ambiguity with  number  of	 filtered  out	files,
	      which can be resolved with the help of width field ("%0-").

	      Example:

		set rulerformat='%2l-%S%[ +%0-%]'

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

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

       'scrolloff' 'so'
	      type: integer
	      default: 0
	      Minimal number of screen lines to keep above and below the  cur-
	      sor.   If you want cursor line to always be in the middle of the
	      view (except at the beginning or end of the file list), set this
	      option to some large value (e.g. 999).

       'shell' 'sh'
	      type: string
	      default: $SHELL or "/bin/sh" or "cmd" (on MS-Windows)
	      Full path to the shell to use to run external commands.

       '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:
	      T	 -  truncate status-bar messages in the middle if they are too
	      long to fit on the command line.	"..." will appear in the  mid-
	      dle.
	      p - use tilde shortening in view titles.

       '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).

	      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
	      type: local
	      Sets  list of sorting keys (first item is primary key, second is
	      secondary key, etc.):
		 [+-]ext   - extension
		 [+-]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)
		 [+-]size  - size
		 [+-]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.

	      In case "name" ("iname" on Windows) is skipped, it will be added
	      at the end automatically.

	      Value  of	 the  option is checked to include default sorting key
	      (name on *nix, iname on Windows).	 When it is absent, the key is
	      appended to the value of the option.

	      Type  key	 is  somewhat  similar	in  this regard but it's added
	      implicitly: when "type" is not specified, sorting behaves as  if
	      it was the first key in the list.	 That's why if one wants sort-
	      ing algorithm to mix directories and  files,  "type"  should  be
	      appended to sorting option, for example like this:

		set sort+=type

	      or

		set sort=-size,type

	      Value  of	 the option is checked to include type key and default
	      sorting key (name on *nix, iname on Windows).  Here is what hap-
	      pens if one of them is missing:

		- type key is added at the beginning;

		- default key is added at the end;

	      all other keys are left untouched (at most they are moved).

	      This option also changes view columns according to primary sort-
	      ing key set, unless 'viewcolumns' option is not empty.

       'sortnumbers'
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      type: local
	      Natural sort of (version) numbers within text.

       'statusline' 'stl'
	      type: string
	      default: ""
	      Determines the content of the status line (the line right	 above
	      command-line).   Empty string means use same format like in pre-
	      vious versions.  Following macros are supported:

	      - %t - file name (considering value of the 'classify' option)

	      - %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)

	      - 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.	Example:

		set statusline="  %t%= %A %10u:%-7g %15s %20d "

	      On  Windows file properties include next 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

       'sortorder'
	      type: enumeration
	      default: ascending
	      Sets sort order for primary key: ascending, descending.

       'syscalls'
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      When disabled, vifm will rely on external applications  to  per-
	      form  file-system	 operations,  otherwise	 system calls are used
	      instead (much faster).  The feature is {EXPERIMENTAL} and {WORK-
	      IN-PROGRESS}.   The  option  will be eventually removed.	Mostly
	      *nix-like systems are affected.

       'tabstop' 'ts'
	      type: integer
	      default: value from curses library
	      Number of spaces that a Tab in the file counts for.

       'timefmt'
	      type: string
	      default: " %m/%d %H:%M"
	      Format of time in file list.  See "man 1 date" or "man  3	 strf-
	      time" for details.

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

       'trash'
	      type: boolean
	      default: true
	      Use trash directory.  See "Trash directory" section below.

       'trashdir'
	      type: string
	      default: "%r/.vifm-Trash,$VIFM/Trash" or if $VIFM/Trash  doesn't
	      exist
		       "%r/.vifm-Trash,$XDG_DATA_HOME/vifm/Trash"
	      List of trash directory path specifications, separated with com-
	      mas.  Each list item either defines an absolute  path  to	 trash
	      directory	 or  a	path  relative to a mount point root when list
	      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).	 Envi-
	      ronment variables are expanded when the option is set.

	      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 sin-
	      gle character padding on left and right sides;
	      s - when included, left and right borders (side  borders,	 hence
	      "s" character) are visible.

       '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"
	      The  actual command used to start vi.  Ampersand sign at the end
	      (regardless whether it's preceded by space or not)  means	 back-
	      grounding of command.

       'viewcolumns'
	      type: string
	      default: ""
	      type: 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 vifm-
	      windo command):

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

       'vixcmd'
	      type: string
	      default: value of 'vicmd'
	      The command used to start vi when in X.  Ampersand sign  at  the
	      end  (regardless	whether	 it's  preceded by space or not) means
	      backgrounding of command.

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

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

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

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

       'wordchars'
	      type: string list
	      default:	"1-8,14-31,33-255" (that is all non-whitespace charac-
	      ters)
	      Specifies which characters in command-line mode should  be  con-
	      sidered  as  part of a word.  Value of the option is comma-sepa-
	      rated list of ranges.  If both endpoints of a range match,  sin-
	      gle  endpoint  is enough (e.g. "a" = "a-a").  Both endpoints are
	      inclusive.  There are two accepted forms: character representing
	      itself  or  number  encoding character according to ASCII table.
	      In case of ambiguous characters (dash, comma, digit) use numeric
	      form.   Accepted characters are in the range from 0 to 255.  Any
	      Unicode character with code greater than 255 is considered to be
	      part of a word.

	      The option affects Alt-D, Alt-B and Alt-F, but not Ctrl-W.  This
	      is intentionally to allow two use cases:

	       - Moving by WORDS and deletion by words.
	       - Moving by words and deletion by WORDS.

	      To get the latter use the following mapping:

		cnoremap <c-w> <a-b><a-d>

	      Also used for abbreviations.

       'wrap' type: boolean
	      default: true
	      Controls whether to wrap text in quick view.

       'wrapscan' 'ws'
	      type: boolean
	      default: true
	      Searches wrap around end of the list.

Mappings
       Since it's not easy to enter special characters there are several  spe-
       cial sequences that can be used in place of them.  They are:

       <cr>   Enter key.

       <esc>  Escape key.

       <space>
	      Space key.

       <lt>   Less-than character (<).

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

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

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

       <home> <end>
	      Home/End.

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

       <pageup> <pagedown>
	      PageUp/PageDown.

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

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

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

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

       <f0> - <f63>
	      Functional keys.

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

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

       <s-f1> - <s-f12>
	      only for MS-Windows
	      functional keys with Shift key pressed.

       Note that due to the way terminals process their	 input,	 several  key-
       board keys might be mapped to single key code, for example:

	 - <cr> and <c-m>;

	 - <tab> and <c-i>;

	 - <c-h> and <bs>;

	 - etc.

       Most  of	 the  time  they  are defined consistenly and don't cause sur-
       prises, but <c-h> and <bs> are treated differently in  different	 envi-
       ronments (although they match each other all the time), that's why they
       correspond to different keys in vifm.  As a consequence, if you map <c-
       h> or <bs> be sure to map the other one to the same combination so that
       the mapping will work in all environments.

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

	 cmap <f1> man<space>

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

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

       Expression syntax summary, from least to most significant:

       expr1	  expr2 == expr2	  equal
		  expr2 != expr2	  not equal
		  expr2 >  expr2	  greater than
		  expr2 >= expr2	  greater than or equal
		  expr2 <  expr2	  smaller than
		  expr2 <= expr2	  smaller than or equal

       expr2	  expr3 . expr3 ..	  string concatenation

       expr3	  - expr3		  unary minus
		  + expr3		  unary plus
		  ! expr3		  logical NOT

       expr4	  number		  number constant
		  "string"		  string constant, \ is special
		  'string'		  string constant, ' is doubled
		  &option		  option value
		  $VAR			  environment variable
		  function(expr1, ...)	  function call

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

       expr1
       -----
       expr2 {cmp} expr2

       Compare	two  expr2  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

       expr2
       -----
       expr3 . expr3 ..	    string concatenation

       Examples:

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

       expr3
       -----

       - expr3		    unary minus
       + expr3		    unary plus
       ! expr3		    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

       expr4
       -----

       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

       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.'

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

       See "Functions" section below.

       Examples:

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

Functions
       USAGE		   RESULT	 DESCRIPTION

       executable({expr})  Integer	 Checks whether {expr} command	avail-
       able.
       expand({expr})	   String	 Expands special keywords in {expr}.
       filetype({fnum})	   String	 Returns file type from position.
       has({property})	    Integer	   Checks  whether instance has {prop-

       system({command})   String	 Executes shell	 command  and  returns
       its output.

       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')

       filetype({fnum})
       The  result  is	a string, which represents file type and is one of the
       list:
	   exe	  executables
	   reg	  regular files
	   link	  symbolic links
	   dir	  directories
	   char	  character devices
	   block  block devices
	   fifo	  pipes
	   sock	  *nix domain sockets
	   ?	  unknown file type (should never appear)
       Parameter {fnum} can have following values:
	   - '.' to get type of file under the cursor in the active pane

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

       Usage example:

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

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

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

       Usage example:

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

       - 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 want to remove execute	 right
	 from  all  files,  but	 preserve  it for directories, set all execute
	 flags to 'd' and check 'Set Recursively' flag.

Custom views
       Definition

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

       Presentation

       Custom views are still related to directory they were in before	custom
       list  was  loaded.   Path to that directory (original directory) can be
       seen in the title of a custom view.

       Files in same directory have to be named differently, this doesn't hold
       for custom views thus seeing just file names might be rather confusing.
       In order to give an idea where files come from and when possible, rela-
       tive  paths  to	original directory of the view is displayed, otherwise
       full path is used instead.

       Custom views normally don't contain any inexistent files.

       Navigation

       Custom views have some differences related  to  navigation  in  regular
       views.

       gf  - acts similar to gf on symbolic links and navigates to the file at
       its real
	    location.

       h, gh - return to the original directory.

       Opening ".." entry also causes return to the original directory.

       History

       Custom list exists only while it's visible, once left one can't	return
       to it, so there is no appearances of it in any history.

       Filters

       Only  local  filter  affects content of the view.  This is intentional,
       presumably if one loads list, precisely that list should	 be  displayed
       (except for inexistent paths, which are ignored).

       Search

       Although	 directory  names are visible in listing, they are not search-
       able.  Only file names are taken into  account  (might  be  changed  in
       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	direc-
       tory elements.

       Updates

       Reloads	can  occur,  though  they are not automatic due to files being
       scattered among different places.  On a reload,	inexistent  files  are
       removed and meta-data of all other files is updated.

       Once  custom  view forgets about the file, it won't add it back even if
       it's created again.  So not seeing file previously affected by an oper-
       ation, which was undone is normal.

       Operations

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

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;
	- a combination of $HOMEDRIVE and $HOMEPATH variables.

       vifm tries to find correct configuration directory by checking the fol-
       lowing places:
	- $VIFM variable;
	- parent directory of the executable file (on Windows only);
	- $HOME/.vifm directory;
	- $APPDATA/Vifm directory (on Windows only);
	- $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vifm directory;
	- $HOME/.config/vifm directory.

       vifm tries to find correct configuration file by checking the following
       places:
	- $MYVIFMRC variable;
	- vifmrc in parent directory of the executable file (on Windows only);
	- $VIFM/vifmrc file.

Configure
       See "Startup" section above for the explanations	 on  $VIFM  and	 $MYV-
       IFMRC.

       The  vifmrc  file  contains  commands  that  will  be  executed on vifm
       startup.	 There are two such files: global and local.  Global one is at
       {prefix}/etc/vifm/vifmrc,  see  $MYVIFMRC  variable description for the
       search algorithm used to find local vifmrc.  Global  vifmrc  is	loaded
       before  the local one, so that the later one can redefine anything con-
       figured globally.

       Use vifmrc to set settings, mappings, filetypes etc.  To use multi line
       commands	 precede  each next line with a slash (whitespace before slash
       is ignored, but all spaces at the end of the  lines  are	 saved).   For
       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.  Bookmarks, commands, histo-
       ries, filetypes, fileviewers and registers in the file are merged  with
       vifm configuration (which has bigger priority).

       Generally,  runtime  configuration  has bigger priority during merging,
       but there are some exceptions:

	 - directory stack stored in the file is not overwritten unless	 some-
	   thing is changed in vifm session that performs merge;

	 - each	 bookmark  is  marked with a timestamp, so that newer value is
	   not overwritten by older one, thus no matter	 from  where  bookmark
	   comes, the newer one wins.

       The  $VIFM/scripts  directory can contain shell scripts.	 vifm modifies
       it's 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 formated program line in  filetype
       or filextype commands.  Currently two 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 FUSE_MOUNT2|sshfs %PARAM %DESTINATION_DIR

       Example file content:

	 root@127.0.0.1:/

       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.

       The mounted FUSE file systems will be automatically  unmounted  in  two
       cases:

	 - when vifm quits (with ZZ, :q, etc. or when killed by signal);

	 - when you explicitly leave mount point going up to its parent direc-
	   tory (with h, Enter on "../" or ":cd ..") and other pane is not  in
	   the same directory or its child directories.

View look
       vifm supports displaying of file list view in two different ways:

	 - in  a  table	 mode,	when  multiple columns can be set using 'view-
	   columns' option (see "Column view" section below for details);

	 - in a multicolumn list manner which looks almost like `ls  -x`  com-
	   mand output (see "ls-like view" section below for details).

       The  look is local for each view and can be chosen by changing value of
       the 'lsview' boolean option.

       Depending on view look some of keys change their meaning to allow  more
       natural cursor moving.  This concerns mainly h, j, k, l and other simi-
       lar navigation keys.

       Also some of options can be ignored if they don't affect view  display-
       ing in selected look.  For example value of 'viewcolumns' when 'lsview'
       is set.

ls-like view
       When this view look is enabled by setting 'lsview' option on, vifm will
       display	files  in  multiple columns.  Number of columns depends on the
       length of the longest file name present in  current  directory  of  the
       view.   Whole  file list is automatically reflowed on directory change,
       terminal or view resize.

       View looks close to output of `ls -x` command, so files are listed left
       to right in rows.

       In  this	 mode file manipulation commands (e.g. d) don't work line-wise
       like they do in Vim, since such operations would be uncommon  for  file
       manipulating  tasks.   Thus,  for  example, dd will remove only current
       file.

Column view
       View columns are described by a comma-separated list of column descrip-
       tions, each of which has the following format
	   [ '-' ] [ fw ( [ '.' tw ] | '%' ) ] '{' type '}' '.'{0,3}
       where fw stands for full width and tw stands for text width.

       So it basically consists of four parts:
	1. Optional alignment specifier
	2. Optional width specifier
	3. Mandatory column name
	4. Optional cropping specifier

       Alignment specifier

       It's an optional minus sign as the first symbol of the string.

       Specifies  type	of text alignment within a column.  Two types are sup-
       ported:

       - left align

	   set viewcolumns=-{name}

       - right align (default)

	   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 tree size types:

       - absolute size - column width is specified in characters

	   set viewcolumns=-100{name},20.15{ext}

	 results in two columns with lengths of 100  and  20  and  a  reserved
	 space of five characters on the left of second column.

       - relative  (percent)  size  - column width is specified in percents of
	 view width

	   set viewcolumns=-80%{name},15%{ext},5%{mtime}

	 results in three columns with lengths of 80/100, 15/100 and 5/100  of
	 view width.

       - auto size (default) - column width is automatically determined

	   set viewcolumns=-{name},{ext},{mtime}

	 results  in  three  columns  with  length of one third of view width.
	 There is no size adjustment to content, since it will slow down  ren-
	 dering.

       Columns	of  different  sizing  types  can be freely mixed in one view.
       Though sometimes some of columns can be seen partly  or	be  completely
       invisible if there is not enough space to display them.

       Column name

       This is just a sort key surrounded with curly braces, e.g.

	 {name},{ext},{mtime}

       {name}  and  {iname} keys are the same and present both for consistency
       with 'sort' option.

       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 tree 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, TopLineSel, TopLine, CmdLine, ErrorMsg, StatusLine, JobLine
	   and WildMenu are always determined by the primary color scheme;

	 - CurrLine, Selected, Directory, Link,	 BrokenLink,  Socket,  Device,
	   Executable, Fifo and Win 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	direc-
       tory.

       There are two scenarios of using trash in vifm:

	 1. As	a  place  for  storing	files  that were cut by "d" and may be
	    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 as well as
       remote  changing	 of directories.  This is possible using --remote com-
       mand-line argument.

       To execute a command remotely combine --remote argument with  -c	 <com-
       mand> or +<command>.  For example:

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

       To  change directory not using command-line mode commands one can spec-
       ify paths right after --remote argument, like this:

	 vifm --remote /
	 vifm --remote ~
	 vifm --remote /usr/bin /tmp

       At the moment there is no way of specifying,  which  instance  of  vifm
       should  arguments be sent.  The main purpose of --remote argument is to
       provide support of using vifm as a single-instance application.

Plugin
       Plugin for using vifm in vim as a file selector.

       Commands:

	 :EditVifm   select a file or files to open in the current buffer.
	 :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 Win-
       dows: vifmrc in the same directory as vifm.exe has higher priority than
       $VIFM/vifmrc).

       See "Startup" section above for more details.

       VIFM_FUSE_FILE
	      On execution of external commands this variable is  set  to  the
	      full  path  of  file  used  to initiate FUSE mount of the closes
	      mount point from current pane directory up.  It's not  set  when
	      outside  FUSE  mount  point.   When vifm is used inside terminal
	      multiplexer, it tries to set this variable as well  (it  doesn't
	      work this way on its own).
