NAME
     vifm - vi file manager

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

DESCRIPTION
     Vifm is an ncurses based file manager with vi like keybindings.  If you
     use vi, vifm gives you complete keyboard control over your files without
     having to learn a new set of commands.

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

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

     <path> Starts Vifm in the specified path.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     --plugins-dir <path>
	    Additional plugins directory (can appear multiple times).  The
	    last one added has the highest priority.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     --no-configs
	    Skip reading vifmrc and vifminfo.


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

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

     Ctrl-L clear and redraw the screen.  Can also reload file list in
	    appropriate modes (like normal and visual).

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

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

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

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

     l	    when 'lsview' is off move into a directory or launch a file,
	    otherwise move right one file.  See "Selection" section below.

     gg	    move to the first line of the file list.

     G	    move to the last line in the file list.

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

     gl or Enter
	    enter directory or launch a file.  See "Selection" section below.

     H	    move to the first file in the window.

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

     L	    move to the last file in the window.

     Ctrl-F or Page Down
	    move forward one page.

     Ctrl-B or Page Up
	    move back one page.

     Ctrl-D jump back one half page.

     Ctrl-U jump forward one half page.

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

     0 or ^ move cursor to the first column.  See 'lsview' option description.

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

     Space  switch file lists.

     gt	    switch to the next tab (wrapping around).

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

     gT	    switch to the previous tab (wrapping around).

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

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

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

     [count]j
	    move down [count] files.

     [count]k
	    move up [count] files.

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

     [count]h
	    go up [count] directories.

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

     zz	    redraw pane with file in center of list.

     zb	    redraw pane with file in bottom of list.

     Ctrl-E scroll pane one line down or column right (in transposed ls-like
	    view).

     Ctrl-Y scroll pane one line up or column left (in transposed ls-like
	    view).

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

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

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

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

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


     Ctrl-W h
	    switch to the left pane.

     Ctrl-W j
	    switch to the pane below.

     Ctrl-W k
	    switch to the pane above.

     Ctrl-W l
	    switch to the right pane.


     Ctrl-W b
	    switch to bottom-right window.

     Ctrl-W t
	    switch to top-left window.


     Ctrl-W p
	    switch to previous window.

     Ctrl-W w
	    switch to other pane.


     Ctrl-W o
	    leave only one pane.

     Ctrl-W s
	    split window horizontally.

     Ctrl-W v
	    split window vertically.


     Ctrl-W x
	    exchange panes.

     Ctrl-W z
	    quit preview pane or view modes.


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

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

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

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


     Ctrl-W |
	    set current view size to count.

     Ctrl-W _
	    set current view size to count.

     Ctrl-W =
	    make size of two views equal.

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     Matches are automatically selected if 'hlsearch' is set.  Enabling
     'incsearch' makes search interactive.  'ignorecase' and 'smartcase'
     options affect case sensitivity of search queries as well as local filter
     and other things detailed in the description of 'caseoptions'.


     [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.

     See also "Regular expressions" section.


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

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

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

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

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

File Filters
     There are three basic file filters:

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

       - permanent filter;

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

     Permanent filter essentially allows defining a group of files names which
     are not desirable to be seen by default, like temporary or backup files,
     which might be created alongside normal ones.  Just like you don't
     usually need to see hidden dot files (files starting with a dot).	Local
     filter on the other hand is for temporary immediate filtering of file
     list at hand, to get rid of uninterested files in the view or to make it
     possible to use % range in a :command.

     For the purposes of more deterministic editing permanent filter is split
     into two parts:

       - one edited explicitly via :filter command;

       - another one which is edited implicitly via zf shortcut.

     Files are tested against both parts and a match counts if at least one of
     the parts matched.


     Each file list has its own copy of each filter.

     Filtered files are not checked in / search or :commands.

     Files and directories are filtered separately.  This is done by appending
     a slash to a directory name before testing whether it matches the filter.
     Examples:


       " filter directories which names end with '.files'
       :filter /^.*\.files\/$/

       " filter files which names end with '.d'
       :filter {*.d}

       " filter files and directories which names end with '.o'
       :filter /^.*\.o\/?$/

     See also "Regular expressions" and "Patterns" sections.

     The basic Vim folding key bindings are used for managing filters.


     za	    toggle visibility of dot files.

     zo	    show dot files.

     zm	    hide dot files.

     zf	    add selected files to permanent filter.

     zO	    reset permanent filter.

     zR	    save and reset all filters.

     zr	    clear local filter.

     zM	    restore all filters (undoes last zR).

     zd	    exclude selection or current file from a custom view.  Does
	    nothing for regular view.  For tree view excluding directory
	    excludes that sub-tree.  For compare views zd hides group of
	    adjacent identical files, count can be specified as 1 to exclude
	    just single file or selected items instead.	 Files excluded this
	    way are not counted as filtered out and can't be returned unless
	    view is reloaded.

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

Tree-related Keys
     While some of the keys make sense outside of tree-view, they are most
     useful in trees.

     [z	    go to first sibling of current entry.

     ]z	    go to last sibling of current entry.

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

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

     zx	    toggle fold under the cursor or parent entry of the current file
	    if cursor is not on a directory.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     Ctrl-G show a dialog with detailed information about current file.	 See
	    "Menus and dialogs" section for controls.

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

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

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

     If file under cursor is selected, each selected item is processed,
     otherwise only current file is updated.

     gf	    find link destination (like l with 'followlinks' off, but also
	    finds directories).	 On Windows additionally follows .lnk-files.

     gF	    Same as gf, but resolves final path of the chain of symbolic
	    links.

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

     av	    go into visual mode for updating current selection, any existing
	    selection is preserved.

     gv	    go into visual mode restoring last selection.

     [reg]gs
	    if register is present, then all files listed in that register
	    that are visible in current view are selected.

	    When no register is specified, restore the last selection saved
	    for this view (similar to what gv does for visual mode selection).
	    When you leave a directory, its saved selection is remembered for
	    that path and visiting the directory again restores it.  Selection
	    for up to 10 distinct file-system locations are remembered.

     gu<selector>
	    make names of selected files lowercase.

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

     gU<selector>
	    make names of selected files uppercase.

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

     e	    explore file in the current pane.

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

     cw	    change word is used to rename a file or files.  If multiple files
	    are selected, behaves as :rename command run without arguments.

     cW	    change WORD is used to change only name of file (without
	    extension).

     cl	    change link target.	 If multiple files are selected, an editor is
	    spawn to edit paths.

     co	    only for *nix
	    change file owner.

     cg	    only for *nix
	    change file group.

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

     [count]C
	    clone file [count] times.

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

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

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

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

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

     al	    put symbolic links with absolute paths.

     rl	    put symbolic links with relative paths.

     t	    select or unselect (tag) the current file.

     u	    undo last change.

     Ctrl-R redo last change.

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

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

     v or V enter visual mode, clears current selection.

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

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

     ZQ	    same as :quit!.

     ZZ	    same as :quit.

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

     (	    go to previous group.  Groups are defined by primary sorting key.
	    For name and iname members of each group have same first letter,
	    for all other sorting keys vifm uses size, uid, ...

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

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

     }	    same as {, but in forward direction.

     [c	    go to previous mismatched entry in directory comparison view or do
	    nothing.

     ]c	    go to next mismatched entry in directory comparison view or do
	    nothing.

     [d	    go to previous directory entry or do nothing.

     ]d	    go to next directory entry or do nothing.

     [r	    same as :siblprev.

     ]r	    same as :siblnext.

     [R	    same as :siblprev!.

     ]R	    same as :siblnext!.

     [s	    go to previous selected entry or do nothing.

     ]s	    go to next selected entry or do nothing.

Using Count
     You can use count with commands like yy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     Registers do not contain one file more than once.

     Example:

       "a2yy

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

       "Ad

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

       p or "ap or "Ap

     inserts previously yanked and deleted files into current directory.

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

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

     a	    all files in current view.

     s	    selected files.

     S	    all files except selected.

     Examples:

       - dj - delete file under cursor and one below;

       - d2j - delete file under cursor and two below;

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

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

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

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

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

Visual Mode
     Visual mode has two generic operating submodes:

       - plain selection as it is in Vim;

       - selection editing submode.

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

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

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

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

       - remove - amend selection by deselecting elements in selection region;

       - invert - amend selection by inverting selection of elements in
	 selection region.

     No matter how you activate selection editing it starts in "append".  One
     can switch type of operation (in the order given above) via "Ctrl-G" key.

     Almost all normal mode keys work in visual mode, but instead of accepting
     selectors they operate on selected items.

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

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

     gv	    restore previous visual selection.

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

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

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

     o	    switch active selection bound.

     O	    switch active selection bound.

     gu, u  make names of selected files lowercase.

     gU, U  make names of selected files uppercase.

     cl	    change target of symbolic link(s).

     cw	    same as running :rename command without arguments.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     R	    reload view preserving scroll position.

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

     a	    switch to the next viewer.	Does nothing for preview constructed
	    via %q macro.

     A	    switch to the previous viewer.  Does nothing for preview
	    constructed via %q macro.

     i	    toggle raw mode (ignoring of defined viewers).  Does nothing for
	    preview constructed via %q macro.

     [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' or 'vixcmd' option
	    value and extended with middle line number prepended by a plus
	    sign and name of the current file.

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

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

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

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

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

     Ctrl-I, Tab
	    complete command or its argument.

     Shift-Tab
	    complete in reverse order.

     Ctrl-_ stop completion and return original input.

     Ctrl-B, Left
	    move cursor to the left.

     Ctrl-F, Right
	    move cursor to the right.

     Ctrl-A, Home
	    go to line beginning.

     Ctrl-E, End
	    go to line end.

     Alt-B  go to the beginning of previous word.

     Alt-F  go to the end of next word.

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

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

     Ctrl-H, Backspace
	    remove character before the cursor.

     Ctrl-D, Delete
	    remove character under the cursor.

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

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

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

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

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

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

     Ctrl-P recall older command-line from history.

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

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

     Ctrl-] trigger abbreviation expansion.

     Ctrl-R =
	    insert result of evaluating an expression.	Expression is to be
	    entered via nested command-line prompt (where this key does
	    nothing).  Expansion of an erroneous expression is empty.

Fast navigation
     In order to streamline navigation through directory tree, you can enter a
     special form of command-line mode from search or local filter prompt.
     Once activated, pressing Enter opens currently selected directory and
     clears the prompt in anticipation of the next component of the path.  If
     entry under the cursor is a file, it is opened and the mode is finished.

     This behaviour is embedded in a command-line mode, but doesn't update
     input histories nor expands abbreviations and redefines some of the
     mode's mappings for the purpose of faster navigation through the file
     system rather than command-line editing.  When on, prompt gets "nav"
     prefix.

     You can enable this behaviour on search by default via a mapping like:

	 nnoremap / /<c-y>


     Ctrl-Y enter navigation mode.  Works only for search and local filter
	    started from a normal mode and only when 'incsearch' is set
	    ('wrapscan' is also nice to have set for search).

     Ctrl-Y return to a regular command-line mode.

     Enter, Right
	    either enter a directory under the cursor without leaving the mode
	    and clear the prompt or leave the mode for files.  If 'navoptions'
	    specifies "open:all" a file under the cursor is opened after
	    leaving the mode.

     Ctrl-O, Left
	    go to parent directory.

     Ctrl-J leave the mode without undoing cursor position or filter state.

     Ctrl-N, Down
	    move view cursor down.

     Ctrl-P, Up
	    move view cursor up.

     Page Down
	    scroll view down.

     Page Up
	    scroll view up.

     Home   move view cursor to the first item.

     End    move view cursor to the last item.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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


     Ctrl-X /
	    last pattern from search history.

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

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

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

     Temporary file created for the purpose of editing the line has the
     following structure:

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

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

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

More Mode
     This is the mode that appears when status bar content is so big that it
     doesn't fit on the screen.	 One can identify the mode by "-- More --"
     message at the bottom.

     The following keys are handled in this mode:


     Enter, Ctrl-J, j or Down
	    scroll one line down.

     Backspace, k or Up
	    scroll one line up.


     d	    scroll one page (half of a screen) down.

     u	    scroll one page (half of a screen) up.


     Space, f or PageDown
	    scroll down a screen.

     b or PageUp
	    scroll up a screen.


     G	    scroll to the bottom.

     g	    scroll to the top.


     q, Escape or Ctrl-C
	    quit the mode.

     :	    switch to command-line mode.

Commands
     Commands are executed with :command_name<Enter>

     Commented out lines should start with the double quote symbol ("), which
     may be preceded by whitespace characters intermixed with colons.  Inline
     comments can be added at the end of the line after double quote symbol,
     only last line of a multi-line command can contain such comment.  Not all
     commands support inline comments as their syntax conflicts with names of
     registers and fields where double quotes are allowed.

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

       :noh[lsearch]

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

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

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

       - :view command;

       - :normal command (when it doesn't leave command-line mode);

       - :if and :else commands don't affect selection on successful
	 execution.

     '|' can be used to separate commands, so you can give multiple commands
     in one line.  If you want to use '|' in an argument, precede it with '\'.

     These commands see '|' as part of their arguments even when it's escaped:

	 :[range]!
	 :amap
	 :anoremap
	 :autocmd
	 :cabbrev
	 :cmap
	 :cnoreabbrev
	 :cnoremap
	 :command
	 :dmap
	 :dnoremap
	 :filetype
	 :fileviewer
	 :filextype
	 :keepsel
	 :map
	 :mmap
	 :mnoremap
	 :nmap
	 :nnoremap
	 :noremap
	 :normal
	 :qmap
	 :qnoremap
	 :vmap
	 :vnoremap
	 :wincmd
	 :windo
	 :winrun

     To be able to use another command after one of these, wrap it with the
     :execute command.	An example:

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

     :[count]

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

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

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

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

     :command [args]

     :[range]!program
	    execute command via shell.	Accepts macros.

     :[range]!command &

     same as above, but the command is run in the background using vifm's
     means.

     Programs that write to stderr create error dialogs showing errors of the
     command.

     Note the space before ampersand symbol, if you omit it, command will be
     run in the background using job control of your shell.

     Accepts macros.

					      :!!

     :[range]!!command
	    same as :!, but pauses before returning.

     :!!    repeat the last command.

					      :alink

     :[range]alink[!?]
	    create absolute symbolic links to files in directory of inactive
	    view.  With "?" prompts for destination file names in an editor.
	    "!" forces overwrite.

     :[range]alink[!] path
	    create absolute symbolic links to files in directory specified by
	    the path (absolute or relative to directory of inactive view).

     :[range]alink[!] name1 name2...
	    create absolute symbolic links of files in directory of other view
	    giving each next link a corresponding name from the argument list.

     :[range]alink[!?] -skip ...
	    see "-skip parameter" section below.

					      :apropos

     :apropos keyword...
	    create a menu of items returned by the apropos command.  Selecting
	    an item in the menu opens corresponding man page.  By default the
	    command relies on the external "apropos" utility, which can be
	    customized by altering value of the 'aproposprg' option.  See
	    "Menus and dialogs" section for controls.

					      :autocmd

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

	    {pat} is a comma-separated list of modified globs patterns, which
	    can contain tilde or environment variables.	 All paths use slash
	    ('/') as directory separator.  The pattern can start with a '!',
	    which negates it.  Patterns that do not contain slashes are
	    matched against the last item of the path only (e.g. "dir" in
	    "/path/dir").  Literal comma can be entered by doubling it.	 Two
	    modifications to globs matching are as follows:
	      - *  - never matches a slash (i.e., can signify single directory
	    level)
	      - ** - matches any character (i.e., can match path of arbitrary
	    depth)

	    {cmd} is a :command or several of them separated with '|'.

	    Examples of patterns:
	      - conf.d	    - matches conf.d directory anywhere
	      - *.d	    - matches directories ending with ".d" anywhere
	      - **.git	    - matches something.git, but not .git anywhere
	      - **/.git/**  - matches /path/.git/objects, but not /path/.git
	      - **/.git/**/ - matches /path/.git/ only (because of trailing
	    slash)
	      - /etc/*	    - matches /etc/conf.d/, /etc/X11, but not
	    /etc/X11/fs
	      - /etc/**/*.d - matches /etc/conf.d, /etc/X11/conf.d, etc.
	      - /etc/**/*   - matches /etc/ itself and any file below it
	      - /etc/**/**  - matches /etc/ itself and any file below it

     :au[tocmd] [{event}] [{pat}]
	    list those autocommands that match given event-pattern
	    combination.
	    {event} and {pat} can be omitted to list all autocommands.	To
	    list any autocommands for specific pattern one can use *
	    placeholder in place of {event}.

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

     :apropos
	    repeat last :apropos command.

					      :bmark

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

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

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

					      :bmarks

     :bmarks
	    display all bookmarks in a menu.

     :bmarks [tag1 [tag2...]]
	    display menu of bookmarks that include all of the specified tags.
	    See "Menus and dialogs" section for controls.

					      :bmgo

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

					      :cabbrev

     :ca[bbrev]
	    display menu of command-line mode abbreviations.  See "Menus and
	    dialogs" section for controls.

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

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

					      :cnoreabbrev

     :cnorea[bbrev]
	    display menu of command-line mode abbreviations.  See "Menus and
	    dialogs" section for controls.

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

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

					      :cd

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

     :cd -  go to the last visited directory.

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

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

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

					      :cds

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

     Available flags:

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

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

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

					      :change

     :c[hange]
	    show a dialog to alter properties of files.

					      :chmod

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

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

					      :chown

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

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

					      :clone

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

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

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

					      :colorscheme

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

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

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

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

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

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

					      :comclear

     :comc[lear]
	    remove all user defined commands.

					      :command

     :com[mand]
	    display a menu of user commands.  See "Menus and dialogs" section
	    for controls.

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

     :com[mand] name action[ &]
	    set or redefine a user command.
	    Use :com[mand]! to overwrite a previously set command of the same
	    name.  Builtin commands can't be redefined.
	    User commands must start with an upper or lower case letter.
	    Command name can't contain special symbols except for a single
	    trailing '?' or '!'.  Numbers are allowed provided that they don't
	    cause parsing ambiguity (no command name prefix that precedes a
	    digit can match an existing command unless it has a digit in the
	    same place), for example:
	      " good
	      :command mp3 command
	      " good
	      :command mp4 command
	      :command mp3! command
	      :command mp4? command
	      " bad
	      :command mp command
	      :command mp44 command
	      " good
	      :command mp4c command

	    User commands are run in a shell by default (see below for syntax
	    of other options).	To run a command in the background you must
	    mark it as a background command by adding " &" after the command's
	    action (e.g., `:com rm rm %f &`).
	    User commands of all kinds have macros expanded in them.  See
	    "Command macros" section for more information.

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

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

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

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

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

					      :compare

     :compare [byname | bysize | bycontents |
	       listall | listunique | listdups |
	       ofboth | ofone |
	       groupids | grouppaths |
	       skipempty | withicase | withrcase |
	       showidentical | showdifferent | showuniqueleft |
	    showuniqueright]...
	    compare files in one or two views according to the arguments.  The
	    default is "bycontents listall ofboth grouppaths showidentical
	    showdifferent showuniqueleft showuniqueright".  See "Compare
	    views" section below for details.  Diff structure is incompatible
	    with alternative representations, so values of 'lsview' and
	    'millerview' options are ignored.

     :compare! (showidentical | showdifferent | showuniqueleft |
		showuniqueright)...  this invocation form works only when
	    compare view is active and results in redoing of the previous
	    :compare with toggled state of the passed in options.

					      :copen

     :cope[n]
	    reopens the last visible menu that has navigation to files by
	    default, if any.

					      :copy

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

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

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

     :[range]co[py][!?] -skip ...[ &]
	    see "-skip parameter" section below.

					      :cquit

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

					      :cunabbrev

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

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

					      :delbmarks

     :delbmarks
	    remove bookmarks from current directory.

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

     :delbmarks!
	    remove all bookmarks.

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

					      :delcommand

	    remove user defined command named user_command.

					      :delete

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

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

					      :delmarks

     :delm[arks]!
	    delete all marks.

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

					      :delsession

     :delsession
	    delete specified session if it was stored previously.  Deleting
	    current session doesn't detach it.

					      :display

     :di[splay]
	    display menu with registers content.

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

					      :dirs

     :dirs  display directory stack in a menu.	See "Menus and dialogs"
	    section for controls.

					      :echo

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

					      :edit

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

					      :else

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

					      :elseif

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

					      :empty

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

					      :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 separated
	    by a space to get a single string which is then executed as a
	    command-line command.  See help on :let command for a definition
	    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.  See
	    "Menus and dialogs" section for controls.

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

					      :filetype

     :filet[ype] pattern-list [{descr}]def_prog[ &],[{descr}]prog2[ &],...
	    associate given program list to each of the patterns.  Associated
	    program (command) is used by handlers of l and Enter keys (and
	    also in the :file menu).  If you need to insert comma into command
	    just double it (",,").  Space followed by an ampersand as two last
	    characters of a command means running of the command in the
	    background.	 Optional description can be given to each command to
	    ease understanding of what command will do in the :file menu.
	    Vifm will try the rest of the programs for an association when the
	    default isn't found.  When program entry doesn't contain any of
	    vifm macros, name of current file is appended as if program entry
	    ended with %c macro on *nix and %"c on Windows.  On Windows path
	    to executables containing spaces can (and should be for correct
	    work with such paths) be double quoted.  See "Patterns" section
	    below for pattern definition and "Selection" section for how
	    selection is handled.  See also "Automatic FUSE mounts" section
	    below.  Example for zip archives and several actions:

	      filetype *.zip,*.jar,*.war,*.ear
		     \ {Mount with fuse-zip}
		     \ FUSE_MOUNT|fuse-zip %SOURCE_FILE %DESTINATION_DIR,
		     \ {View contents}
		     \ zip -sf %c | less,
		     \ {Extract here}
		     \ tar -xf %c,

	    Note that on OS X when `open` is used to call an app, vifm is
	    unable to check whether that app is actually available.  So if
	    automatic skipping of programs that aren't there is desirable,
	    `open` should be replaced with an actual command.

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

					      :filextype

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

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

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

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

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

	    If there is no graphical environment (checked by presence of non-
	    empty $DISPLAY or $WAYLAND_DISPLAY environment variable on *nix;
	    never happens on Windows), the list will look like:

	    1. lynx
	    2. links

	    Just as if all :filextype commands were not there.

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

	    Note that on OS X $DISPLAY isn't defined unless you define it, so
	    :filextype should be used only if you set $DISPLAY in some way.

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

					      :fileviewer

     :filev[iewer] pattern-list command1,command2,...
	    register specified list of commands as viewers for each of the
	    patterns.  Viewer is a command which output is captured and
	    displayed in one of the panes of vifm after pressing "e" or
	    running :view command.  When the command doesn't contain any of
	    vifm macros, name of current file is appended as if command ended
	    with %c macro.  Comma escaping and missing commands processing
	    rules as for :filetype apply to this command.  See "Patterns"
	    section below for pattern definition.  Supports Lua handlers.

	    Example for zip archives:

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

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

					      :filter

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

	    Example:

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


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

	    Example:

	      :filter //I


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

     :filter!
	    same as :invert.

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

					      :find

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

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

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

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

					      :finish

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

					      :goto

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

					      :grep

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

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

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

					      :help

     :h[elp]
	    show the help file.

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

					      :hideui

     :hideui
	    hide interface to show previous commands' output.

					      :highlight

     :hi[ghlight]
	    display information about all highlight groups active at the
	    moment.

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

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

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

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

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

     Available style values (some of them can be combined):
      - bold
      - underline
      - reverse or inverse
      - standout
      - italic (on unsupported systems becomes reverse)
      - combine - add attributes of current group to attributes of the parent
     in group hierarchy (see below) instead of replacing them
      - none

     Available group-name values:
      - Win - color of all windows (views, dialogs, menus) and default color
     for their content (e.g. regular files in views)
      - AuxWin - color of auxiliary areas of windows
      - OtherWin - color of inactive pane
      - Border - color of vertical parts of the border
      - TabLine - tab line color (for 'tabscope' set to "global")
      - TabLineSel - color of the tip of selected tab (regardless of
     'tabscope')
      - TopLine - top line color of the other pane
      - TopLineSel - top line color of the current pane
      - CmdLine - the command line/status bar color
      - ErrorMsg - color of error messages in the status bar
      - StatusLine - color of the line above the status bar
      - JobLine - color of job line that appears above the status line
      - WildMenu - color of the wild menu items
      - SuggestBox - color of key suggestion box
      - CurrLine - line at cursor position in active view
      - OtherLine - line at cursor position in inactive view
      - OddLine - color of every second entry line in a pane
      - LineNr - line number column of views
      - Selected - color of selected files
      - Directory - color of directories
      - Link - color of symbolic links in the views
      - BrokenLink - color of broken symbolic links
      - HardLink - color of regular files with more than one hard link
      - Socket - color of sockets
      - Device - color of block and character devices
      - Executable - color of executable files
      - Fifo - color of fifo pipes
      - CmpMismatch - color of mismatched files in side-by-side comparison by
     path
      - CmpUnmatched - comparison file entry that has no pair in the other
     pane
      - CmpBlank - entry placeholder in a compare view, paired with
     CmpUnmatched
      - User1..User20 - 20 colors which can be used via %* 'statusline' macro

     Available colors:
      - -1 or default or none - default or transparent
      - black	and lightblack
      - red	and lightred
      - green	and lightgreen
      - yellow	and lightyellow
      - blue	and lightblue
      - magenta and lightmagenta
      - cyan	and lightcyan
      - white	and lightwhite
      - 0-255 - corresponding colors from 256-color palette (for ctermfg and
     ctermbg)
      - #rrggbb - direct ("gui", "true", 24-bit) color in hex-notation, each
     of the three compontents are in the range 0x00 to 0xff (for guifg and
     guibg)

     Light versions of colors are regular colors with bold attribute set
     automatically in terminals that have less than 16 colors.	So order of
     arguments of :highlight command is important and it's better to put
     "cterm" in front of others to prevent it from overwriting attributes set
     by "ctermfg" or "ctermbg" arguments.

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

     There are two colors (foreground and background) and only one bold
     attribute.	 Thus single bold attribute affects both colors when "reverse"
     attribute is used in vifm run inside terminal emulator.  At the same time
     linux native console can handle boldness of foreground and background
     colors independently, but for consistency with terminal emulators this is
     available only implicitly by using light versions of colors.  This
     behaviour might be changed in the future.

     Although vifm supports 256 colors in a sense they are supported by UI
     drawing library, whether you will be able to use all of them highly
     depends on your terminal.	To set up terminal properly, make sure that
     $TERM in the environment you run vifm is set to name of 256-color
     terminal (on *nixes it can also be set via X resources), e.g.
     xterm-256color.  One can find list of available terminal names by listing
     /usr/lib/terminfo/.  Number of colors supported by terminal with current
     settings can be checked via "tput colors" command.

     In order to use 24-bit colors one needs a terminal that supports them,
     corresponding terminfo record (probably ends in "-direct" like in "xterm-
     direct") and $TERM pointing to it.	 When vifm detects direct color
     support "cterm*" values are ignored for groups which have at least one of
     "gui*" values set, otherwise they are used after translating via a
     builtin palette.

     Here is the hierarchy of highlight groups, which you need to know for
     using transparency:
       JobLine
       SuggestBox
       StatusLine
	 WildMenu
	 User1..User20
       Border
       CmdLine
	 ErrorMsg
       Win
	 OtherWin
	   AuxWin
	     OddLine
	       File name specific highlights
		 Directory
		 Link
		 BrokenLink
		 HardLink
		 Socket
		 Device
		 Fifo
		 Executable
		   CmpMismatch
		   CmpUnmatched
		   CmpBlank
		     Selected
		       CurrLine
			 LineNr (in active pane)
		       OtherLine
			 LineNr (in inactive pane)
       TopLine
	 TopLineSel
	   TabLineSel (for pane tabs)
	     User1..User20
       TabLine
	 TabLineSel
	   User1..User20

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

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

					      :history

     :his[tory]
	    display a menu with list of visited directories.  See "Menus and
	    dialogs" section for controls.

     :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 local filter history (see description of the
	    "=" normal mode command).
	      e[xprreg]	     show expression register history (see description
	    of Ctrl+R = in command-line mode).
	    See "Menus and dialogs" section for controls.

					      :histnext

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

					      :histprev

     :histprev
	    same as <c-o>.

					      :if

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

	    Example:

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

					      :invert

     :invert [f]
	    invert file name filter.

     :invert? [f]
	    show current filter state.

     :invert s
	    invert selection.

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

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

					      :jobs

     :jobs  display menu of current backgrounded processes.  See "Menus and
	    dialogs" section for controls.

					      :keepsel

     :keepsel [command...]
	    preserve selection during some :command by default.	 Note that
	    this doesn't save and restore selection to preserve it no matter
	    what, but precludes its clearing at the end of a command and thus
	    won't help if selection is cleared explicitly during operation.

	    Example:

	      :keepsel view

					      :let

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

					      :locate

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

     :locate
	    repeat last :locate command.

					      :ls

     :ls    lists windows of active terminal multiplexer (only when terminal
	    multiplexer is used).  This is achieved by issuing proper command
	    for active terminal multiplexer, thus the list is not handled by
	    vifm.

					      :lstrash

     :lstrash
	    display 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.	 See "Menus and dialogs" section for controls.

					      :mark

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

					      :marks

     :marks create a pop-up menu of marks.  See "Menus and dialogs" section
	    for controls.

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

					      :media

     :media only for *nix
	    display media management menu.  See "Menus and dialogs" section
	    for controls.  See also 'mediaprg' option.

					      :messages

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

					      :mkdir

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

					      :move

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

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

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

     :[range]m[ove][!?] -skip ...[ &]
	    see "-skip parameter" section below.

					      :nohlsearch

     :noh[lsearch]
	    clear selection in current pane.

					      :normal

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

					      :only

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

					      :plugin

     :plugin load
	    loads all plugins.	To be used in configuration file to manually
	    load plugins at an earlier point.  The plugins can be loaded only
	    once, additional calls will do nothing.

     :plugin blacklist {plugin}
	    adds {plugin} to the list of plugins to be ignored.

     :plugin whitelist {plugin}
	    adds {plugin} to the list of plugins to be loaded while ignoring
	    all other plugins.	This list should normally be empty.

					      :plugins

     :plugins
	    open plugins menu.	See "Menus and dialogs" section for controls.

					      :popd

     :popd  remove pane directories from stack.

					      :pushd

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

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

					      :put

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

					      :pwd

     :pw[d] show the present working directory.

					      :qall

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

					      :quit

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

					      :redraw

     :redr[aw]
	    redraw the screen immediately.

					      :regedit

     :rege[dit] [{reg}]
	    edit register contents using external editor. If {reg} is omitted,
	    unnamed register will be edited by default.	 Edited paths are
	    normalized (no extra `.`, `..`, `/`, etc.) and all relative paths
	    are treated as starting in the directory of the current view.

					      :registers

     :reg[isters]
	    display menu with registers content.

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

					      :regular

     :regular

     switch to regular view leaving custom view.
						     :rename

     :[range]rename[!]
	    rename files by editing their names in an editor.  "!" renames
	    files recursively in subdirectories.  See "External Renaming"
	    section.

     :[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,
	    vifmrc and session files and run startup commands passed in the
	    argument list, thus losing all unsaved changes (e.g. recent
	    history or keys mapped after starting this instance).  Session
	    that wasn't yet stored gets reset.

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

     :restart full
	    variation of :restart that makes no attempt to preserve anything.

					      :restore

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

					      :rlink

     :[range]rlink[!?]
	    create relative symbolic links to files in directory of other
	    view.  With "?" prompts for destination file names in an editor.
	    "!" forces overwrite.

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

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

     :[range]rlink[!?] -skip ...[ &]
	    see "-skip parameter" section below.

					      :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.  Starting
	    vifm from terminal multiplexer with appropriate support turned on
	    will cause vifm to open a new terminal multiplexer window for each
	    new file edited or program launched from vifm.
	    This requires screen version 3.9.9 or newer for the screen -X
	    argument or tmux (1.8 version or newer is recommended).

     :screen!
	    enable integration with terminal multiplexers.

     :screen?
	    display whether integration with terminal multiplexers is enabled.

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

					      :select

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

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

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

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

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

					      :session

     :session?
	    print name of the current session.

     :session
	    detach current session without saving it.  Resets v:session.

     :session name
	    create or load and switch to a session with the specified name.
	    Name can't contain slashes.	 Session active at the moment is saved
	    before the switch.	Session is also automatically saved when
	    quiting the application in usual ways.  Sets v:session.

     :session -
	    switch to a previous session if it still exists (wasn't removed or
	    detached from without saving).

					      :set

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

     :se[t] all
	    display all options.

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

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

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

					      :setglobal

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

     :setg[lobal] all
	    display all global options.

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

					      :setlocal

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

     :setl[ocal] all
	    display all local options.

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

					      :shell

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


					      :siblnext

     :[count]siblnext[!]

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

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

		bin/
		boot/
		dev/
		...

	    Issuing :siblnext will navigate to /dev.


					      :siblprev

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

					      :sort

     :sor[t]
	    display dialog with different sorting methods, where one can
	    select the primary sorting key.  When 'viewcolumns' options is
	    empty and 'lsview' is off, changing primary sorting key will also
	    affect view look (in particular the second column of the view will
	    be changed).  See "Menus and dialogs" section for controls.

					      :source

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

					      :split

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

     :sp[lit]!
	    toggle horizontal window splitting.

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

					      :stop

     :st[op]
	    suspend vifm (same as pressing Ctrl-Z).  Does nothing if this
	    instance isn't running in a shell.	The command exists to allow
	    mapping to the action of Ctrl-Z.

					      :substitute

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

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

     Pattern is stored in search history.

     Available flags:

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

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

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

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

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

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

					      :sync

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

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


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

	      - location - current directory of the pane;

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

	      - localopts - all local options;

	      - filters - all filters;

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

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

	      - all - all of the above.

					      :tabclose

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

					      :tabmove

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

					      :tabname

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

					      :tabnew

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

					      :tabnext

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

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

					      :tabonly

     :tabo[nly]
	    close all tabs but the current one.	 Closes pane tabs only at the
	    active side.

					      :tabprevious

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

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

					      :touch

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

					      :tr

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

					      :trashes

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

     :trashes?
	    same as :trashes, but also displays size of each trash directory.

					      :tree

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

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

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

	    The "depth" argument specifies nesting level on which loading of
	    subdirectories won't happen (they will be folded).	Values start
	    at 1.

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

					      :undolist

     :undol[ist]
	    display list of latest changes.  Use "!" to see actual commands.
	    See "Menus and dialogs" section for controls.

					      :unlet

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

					      :unselect

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

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

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

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

					      :version

     :ve[rsion]
	    show menu with version information.

					      :vifm

     :vifm  same as :version.

					      :view

	    contents).	See also 'quickview' option.

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

					      :volumes

     :volumes
	    only for MS-Windows
	    display menu with volume list.  Hitting l (or Enter) key opens
	    appropriate volume in the current pane.  See "Menus and dialogs"
	    section for controls.

					      :vsplit

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

     :vs[plit]!
	    toggle window vertical splitting.

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

					      :wincmd

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

					      :windo

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

					      :winrun

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

					      :write

     :w[rite]
	    write current state to vifminfo and session files (if a session is
	    active).

     :wq[!] same as :quit, but ! disables only the check of backgrounded
	    commands, while state of the application is always written.
	    :wqall

     :wqa[ll][!]

	    commands, while state of the application is always written.

					      :xall

     :xa[ll][!]
	    same as :qall.

					      :xit

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 parameters
     Some of the command-line commands accept parameters in the form of
     `-paramname`.  Arguments of such commands can be split into two groups:
     parameters and positional arguments.  Items from the two groups cannot be
     interleaved and parameters always come first.  List of parameters is
     terminated implicitly by the first argument that doesn't start with a
     dash ("-") or explicitly via "--" separator (needs to be a separate
     argument), which is just discarded.  These strict rules allow arbitrary
     positional arguments, such as file names that start with a dash.


     -skip parameter
	    This parameter makes :copy, :move, :alink and :rlink automatically
	    skip source files that already exist at the destination rather
	    than refusing to perform the operation.

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 or the current file, but see "Selection"
	    section below.

     %F %"F Same as %f, %"f, but for the inactive pane.

     %l %"l List of selected files.  Unlike %f from above, this is only for
	    explicit selection (i.e., not via a range) and is empty if no
	    files are selected.

     %L %"L Same as %l, %"l, but for the inactive pane.

     %b %"b Same as %f %F.

     %d %"d Full path to current directory.

     %D %"D Full path to other file list directory.

     %rx %"rx
	    Full paths to files in the register {x}.  In case of invalid
	    symbol in place of {x}, it's processed with the rest of the line
	    and default register is used.

     %m	    Show command output in a menu.

     %M	    Same as %m, but l (or Enter) key is handled like for :locate and
	    :find commands.

     %u	    Process command output as list of paths and compose custom view
	    out of it.

     %U	    Same as %u, but implies less list updates inside vifm, which is
	    absence of sorting at the moment.

     %Iu    Same as %u, but gives up terminal before running external command.

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

     %S	    Show command output in the status bar.

     %q	    Redirect command output to quick view, which is activated if
	    disabled.

     %s	    Execute command in horizontally split window of active terminal
	    multiplexer (ignored if not running inside one).

     %v	    Same as %s, but splits vertically.

     %n	    Forbid use of terminal multiplexer to run the command.

     %N	    Do not detach viewer from terminal session (keeps `/dev/tty`
	    available) or process group (keeps the command in the set of
	    foreground clients of the terminal).

     %i	    Run in background and suppress error dialogs, but collect errors
	    internally for viewing via :jobs menu.

     %Pl    Pipe list of files to standard input of a command.

     %Pz    Same as %Pl, but separates paths by null ('\0') character.

     %pc    Marks the end of the main command and the beginning of the clear
	    command for graphical preview, which is invoked on closing preview
	    of a file.

     %pd    Marks a preview command as one that directly communicates with the
	    terminal.  Beware that this is for things like sixel which are
	    self-contained sequences that depend only on current cursor
	    position, using this with anything else is likely to mangle
	    terminal state.

     %pu    Uncached preview.  Intended to be used for commands that just send
	    file path somewhere for preview.

     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 %i, %Iu, %IU, %m, %M, %n, %q, %s, %S, %u, %U and %v macros are
     mutually exclusive.  Only the last one of them on the command will take
     effect.

     Note that %Pl and %Pz are mutually exclusive.  Only the last one of them
     on the command will take effect.

     You can use file name modifiers after %c, %C, %f, %F, %b, %d and %D
     macros.  Supported modifiers are:

       - :p	      - full path

       - :u	      - UNC name of path (e.g. "\\server" in
	 "\\server\share"), Windows only.  Expands to current computer name
	 for not UNC paths.

       - :~	      - relative to the home directory

       - :.	      - relative to current directory

       - :h	      - head of the file name

       - :t	      - tail of the file name

       - :r	      - root of the file name (without last extension)

       - :e	      - extension of the file name (last one)

       - :s?pat?sub?  - substitute the first occurrence of pat with sub.  You
	 can use any character for '?', but it must not occur in pat or sub.

       - :gs?pat?sub? - like :s, but substitutes all occurrences of pat with
	 sub.

     See ':h filename-modifiers' in Vim's documentation for the detailed
     description.

     Using %x means expand corresponding macro escaping all characters that
     have special meaning.  And %"x means using of double quotes and escape
     only backslash and double quote characters, which is more useful on
     Windows systems.

     Position and quantity (if there is any) of %m, %M, %S or %s macros in the
     command is unimportant.  All their occurrences are removed from the
     resulting command.

     %c and %f macros are expanded to file names only, when %C and %F are
     expanded to full paths.  %f and %F follow this in %b too.

     :com move mv %f %D
	    set the :move command to move all of the files selected in the
	    current directory to the other directory.

     The %a macro is replaced with any arguments given to an alias command.
     All arguments are considered optional.
	    :com lsl !!ls -l %a - set the lsl command to execute ls -l with or
	    without an argument.

     :lsl<Enter>
	    will list the directory contents of the current directory.

     :lsl filename<Enter>
	    will list only the given filename.

     The macros can also be used in directly executing commands.  ":!mv %f %D"
     would move the current directory selected files to the other directory.

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

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

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

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

     Rewriting the example command with macros given above with backgrounding:

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

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

     For each background operation a new thread is created.  Job cancellation
     can be requested in the :jobs menu via dd shortcut.

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

     Background operations cannot be undone.

Cancellation
     Note that cancellation works somewhat different on Windows platform due
     to different mechanism of break signal propagation.  One also might need
     to use Ctrl-Break shortcut instead of Ctrl-C.

     There are two types of operations that can be cancelled:

       - file system operations;

       - mounting with FUSE (but not unmounting as it can cause loss of data);

       - calls of external applications.

     Note that vifm never terminates applications, it sends SIGINT signal and
     lets the application quit normally.

     When one of set of operations is cancelled (e.g. copying of 5th file of
     10 files), further operations are cancelled too.  In this case undo
     history will contain only actually performed operations.

     Cancelled operations are indicated by "(cancelled)" suffix appended to
     information message on status bar.

     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.

Selection
     If there is a selection, it's stashed before proceeding further unless
     file under the cursor is part of that selection.  This means that when
     macros are expanded for :filetype or :filextype programs, `%f` and `%F`
     become equivalent to `%c` and `%C` respectively if current file is not
     selected.	So you run selection by running one of selected files,
     otherwise you're running a single file even if there are other selected
     entries.

     When running a selection it must not include broken symbolic links, has
     to be consistent and set of file handlers must be compatible.
     Consistency means that selection contains either only directories
     (including links to them) or only files, but not their mix.

     Compatibility is a more sophisticated check, but it's defined in a
     natural way so that you get what you'd expect.  The following properties
     of selection are taken into account while checking it for compatibility
     and deciding how to handle it:


       1. If there any files for which handler isn't defined, then all files
	  are opened using 'vicmd' or 'vixcmd'.


       2. If all handlers match the following criteria:
	   - backgrounded
	   - include `%c` and/or `%C`
	   - include neither `%f` nor `%F`
	  then each file is executed independently of the rest.


       3. If all handlers are equal, the common handler is executed.  This
	  handler might ignore selection and process only file under the
	  cursor.


       4. Otherwise, an error is reported, because handlers differ and they
	  don't support parallel execution.

Patterns
     :highlight, :filetype, :filextype, :fileviewer commands and 'classify'
     option support globs, regular expressions and mime types to match file
     names or their paths.

     There are six possible ways to write a single pattern:

       1. [!]{comma-separated-name-globs}

       2. [!]{{comma-separated-path-globs}}

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

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

       5. [!]<comma-separated-mime-type-globs>

       6. undecorated-pattern

     First five forms can include leading exclamation mark that negates
     pattern matching.

     The last form is implicitly refers to one of others.  :highlight does not
     accept undecorated form, while :filetype, :filextype, :fileviewer,
     :select, :unselect and 'classify' treat it as list of name globs.

     Path patterns receive absolute path of the file that includes its name
     component as well.

     To combine several patterns (AND them), make sure you're using one of the
     first five forms and write patterns one after another, like this:
       <text/plain>{*.vifm}
     Mind that if you make a mistake the whole string will be treated as the
     sixth form.

     :filetype, :filextype and :fileviewer commands accept comma-separated
     list of patterns instead of a single pattern, thus effectively handling
     OR operation on them:
       <text/plain>{*.vifm},<application/pdf>{*.pdf}
     Forms that accept comma-separated lists of patterns also process them as
     lists of alternatives.

     Patterns with regular expressions

     Regular expression patterns are case insensitive by default, see
     description of commands, which might override default behaviour.

     Flags of regular expressions mean the following:
       - "i" makes filter case insensitive;
       - "I" makes filter case sensitive.  They can be repeated multiple
     times, but the later one takes precedence (e.g.  "iiiI" is equivalent to
     "I" and "IiIi" is the same as "i").

     There are no implicit `^` or `$`, so make sure to specify them explicitly
     if the pattern should match the whole name or path.

     Patterns with globs

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

     Patterns with mime-types

     Mime type matching is essentially globs matching applied to mime type of
     a file instead of its name/path.  Note: mime types aren't detected on
     Windows.

     Examples

     Associate `evince` to PDF-files only inside `/home/user/downloads/`
     directory (excluding its subdirectories):

       :filextype //^/home/user/downloads/[^/]*.pdf$// evince %f


Regular expressions
     All regular expressions are modern/extended.  See `man 7 regex` for more
     details on what's supported.

     The following special sequences are additionally parsed:
      - `\c` forces matching ignoring case of letters
      - `\C` forces matching respecting case of letters

     `\c` and `\C` have the highest priority in determining whether case is
     matched or not and exist to override 'ignorecase', 'smartcase' and
     `i`/`I` flags when necessary.

     If multiple sequences are present, the one which appears later takes
     precedence.

     Note that unlike in Vim character classes are affected by settings and
     sequences that control case sensitivity in regular expressions.

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

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

       :filetype * less %c

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

       :filetype [*] less %c

     matches only one file name, the one which contains only asterisk symbol.

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

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

     associates using of `zip` program to preview all files with `zip` or
     `jar` extensions as listing of their content, but `.file.zip` won't be
     matched.

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

       :fileviewer ?.out file %c

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

     Square brackets designate character class, which means that whole
     character class matches against any of characters listed in it.  For
     example

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

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

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


     Inside square brackets `^` or `!` can be used for symbol class
     negotiation and the `-` symbol to set a range.  `^` and `!` should appear
     right after the opening square bracket.  For example

       :filetype *.[!d]/ inspect_dir

     associates `inspect_dir` as additional handler for all directories that
     have one character extension unless it's "d" letter.  And

       :filetype [0-9].jpg sxiv

     associates `sxiv` picture viewer only for JPEG-files that contain single
     digit in their name.

     If you need to include literal comma, which is normally separates
     multiple globs, double it.

:set options
     Local options
	    These are kind of options that are local to a specific view.  So
	    you can set ascending sorting order for left pane and descending
	    order for right pane.

	    In addition to being local to views, each such option also has two
	    values:

	      - local to current directory (value associated with current
		location);

	      - global to current directory (value associated with the pane).

	    The idea is that current directory can be made a temporary
	    exception to regular configuration of the view, until directory
	    change.  Use :setlocal for that.  :setglobal changes view value
	    not affecting settings until directory change.  :set applies
	    changes immediately to all values.


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

     'autocd'
	    type: boolean
	    default: false
	    When enabled unknown command-line commands are interpreted as
	    implicit invocation of :cd with one argument and no escaping.
	    Tilde is expanded, but not macros or environment variables.

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

	    When this option is enabled, more fine grained control over cursor
	    position is available via 'histcursor' option.

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

     'caseoptions'
	    type: charset
	    default: ""
	    This option gives additional control over case sensitivity by
	    allowing overriding default behaviour to either always be case
	    sensitive or always be case insensitive.  Possible values form
	    pairs of lower and upper case letters that configure specific
	    aspect of behaviour:
	      p - always ignore case of paths during completion.
	      P - always match case of paths during completion.
	      g - always ignore case of characters for f/F/;/,.
	      G - always match case of characters for f/F/;/,.

	    At most one item of each pair takes affect, if both or more are
	    present, only the last one matters.	 When none of pair's elements
	    are present, the behaviour is default (depends on operating system
	    for path completion and on values of 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase'
	    options for file navigation).

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

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

	    Example:

	      set cdpath=~

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

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

     'classify'
	    type: string list
	    default: ":dir:/"
	    Specifies file name prefixes and suffixes depending on file type
	    or name.  The format is either of:
	      - [{prefix}]:{filetype}:[{suffix}]
	      - [{prefix}]::{pattern}::[{suffix}]
	    Possible {pattern} forms are described in "Patterns" section
	    above.

	    Priority rules:
	      - file name patterns have priority over type patterns
	      - file name patterns are matched in left-to-right order of their
	    appearance in this option

	    Either {prefix} or {suffix} or both can be omitted (which is the
	    default for all unspecified file types), this means empty {prefix}
	    and/or {suffix}.  {prefix} and {suffix} should consist of at most
	    eight characters.  Elements are separated by commas.  Neither
	    prefixes nor suffixes are part of file names, so they don't affect
	    commands which operate on file names in any way.  Comma (',')
	    character can be inserted by doubling it.  List of file type names
	    can be found in the description of filetype() function.

     'confirm' 'cf'
	    type: set
	    default: delete,permdelete
	    Defines which operations require confirmation:
	     - delete	  - moving files to trash (on d or :delete);
	     - permdelete - permanent deletion of files (on D or :delete!
	    command or on undo/redo operation).

     'cpoptions' 'cpo'
	    type: charset
	    default: "fst"
	    Contains a sequence of single-character flags.  Each flag enables
	    behaviour of older versions of vifm.  Flags:
	     - f - when included, running :filter command results in not
	    inverted (matching files are filtered out) and :filter! in
	    inverted (matching files are left) filter, when omitted, meaning
	    of the exclamation mark changes to the opposite;
	     - s - when included, yy, dd and DD normal mode commands act on
	    selection, otherwise they operate on current file only;
	     - t - when included, <tab> (thus <c-i>) behave as <space> and
	    switches active pane, otherwise <tab> and <c-i> go forward in the
	    view history.  It's possible to make both <tab> and <c-i> to work
	    as expected by setting up the terminal to emit a custom sequence
	    when <c-i> is pressed; see :histnext for details.

     'cvoptions'
	    type: set
	    default:
	    Specifies whether entering/leaving custom views triggers events
	    that normally happen on entering/leaving directories:
	     - autocmds	   - trigger autocommands on entering/leaving custom
	    views;
	     - localopts   - reset local options on entering/leaving custom
	    views;
	     - localfilter - reset local filter on entering/leaving custom
	    views.

     'deleteprg'
	    type: string
	    default: ""
	    Specifies program to run on files that are permanently removed.
	    When empty, files are removed as usual, otherwise this command is
	    invoked on each file by appending its name.	 If the command
	    doesn't remove files, they will remain on the file system.

     'dirsize'
	    type: enumeration
	    default: size
	    Controls how size of directories is displayed in file views.  The
	    following values are possible:
	     - size   - size of directory (i.e., size used to store list of
	    files)
	     - nitems - number of entries in the directory (excluding . and
	    ..)

	    Size obtained via ga/gA overwrites this setting so seeing count of
	    files and occasionally size of directories is possible.

     'dotdirs'
	    type: set
	    default: nonrootparent,treeleafsparent
	    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
	     - treeleafsparent - show "../" in empty directories of tree view

	    Note that empty directories always contain "../" entry regardless
	    of value of this option.  "../" disappears at the moment at least
	    one file is created.

     'dotfiles'
	    type: boolean
	    default: false
	    Whether dot files are shown in the view.  Can be controlled with
	    z* bindings.

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

     'fillchars' 'fcs'
	    type: string list
	    default: ""
	    Sets characters used to fill borders.

	      item	   default    used for
	      vborder:c	   ' '	      left, middle and right vertical borders
	      hborder:c	   ''	      middle horizontal border

	    A null string for vborder is equivalent to a space.

	    A null string for hborder omits the horizontal border.

	    Example:

	      set fillchars=vborder:".",hborder:""

     'findprg'
	    type: string
	    default: "find %s %a -print , -type d \( ! -readable -o !
	    -executable \) -prune"
	    Specifies format for an external command to be invoked by the
	    :find command.  The format supports expansion of macros specific
	    for this particular option and %% sequence for inserting percent
	    sign literally.  The macros are:

	      macro   value/meaning
	       %s     literal arguments of :find or
		      list of paths to search in

	       %A     empty or
		      literal arguments of :find
	       %a     empty or
		      literal arguments of :find or
		      predicate followed by escaped arguments of :find
	       %p     empty or
		      literal arguments of :find or
		      escaped arguments (parameters) of :find

	       %u     redirect output to custom view instead of showing a menu
	       %U     redirect output to unsorted custom view instead of
	    showing a menu

	    Predicate in %a is "-name" on *nix and "-iname" on Windows.

	    If both %u and %U are specified, %U is chosen.

	    Some macros can be added implicitly:
	     - if %s isn't present, it's appended
	     - if neither of %a, %A and %p is present, %a is appended
	     - if neither of %s, %a, %A and %p is present, %s and %a are
	    appended in this order

	    The macros slightly change their meaning depending on format of
	    :find's arguments:
	     - if the first argument points to an existing directory, %s is
	    assigned all arguments while %a, %A and %p are left empty
	     - otherwise:
		- %s is assigned a dot (".") meaning current directory or list
	    of selected file names, if any
		- %a, %A and %p are assigned literal arguments when first
	    argument starts with a dash ("-"), otherwise %a gets an escaped
	    version of the arguments with a predicate and %p contains escaped
	    version of the arguments

	    Starting with Windows Server 2003 a `where` command is available.
	    One can configure vifm to use it in the following way:

		set findprg="where /R %s %A"

	    As the syntax of this command is rather limited, one can't use
	    :find command with selection of more than one item because the
	    command ignores all directory paths except for the last one.

	    When using find port on Windows, another option is to setup
	    'findprg' like this:

		set findprg="find %s %a"


     'followlinks'
	    type: boolean
	    default: true
	    Follow links on l or Enter.	 That is navigate to destination file
	    instead of treating the link as if it were target file.  Doesn't
	    affects links to directories, which are always entered (use gf key
	    for directories).

     'fusehome'
	    type: string
	    default: "($XDG_DATA_HOME/vifm | $VIFM)/fuse/"
	    Directory to be used as a root dir for FUSE mounts.	 Value of the
	    option can contain environment variables (in form "$envname"),
	    which will be expanded (prepend it with a slash to prevent
	    expansion).	 The value should expand to an absolute path.

	    If you change this option, vifm won't remount anything.  It
	    affects future mounts only.	 See "Automatic FUSE mounts" section
	    below for more information.

     'gdefault' 'gd'
	    type: boolean
	    default: false
	    When on, 'g' flag is on for :substitute by default.

     'grepprg'
	    type: string
	    default: "grep -n -H -I -r %i %a %s"
	    Specifies format for an external command to be invoked by the
	    :grep command.  The format supports expanding of macros, specific
	    for a particular *prg option, and %% sequence for inserting
	    percent sign literally.  This option should include the %i macro
	    to specify placement of "-v" string when inversion of results is
	    requested, %a or %A macro to specify placement of arguments passed
	    to the :grep command and the %s macro to specify placement of list
	    of files to search in.  If some of the macros are not used, they
	    will be implicitly added after a space to the value of the
	    'grepprg' option in the following order: %i, %a, %s.  Note that
	    when neither %a nor %A are specified, it's %a which is added
	    implicitly.

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

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

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

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

	    or The Silver Searcher
	    (https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher):

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



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

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

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

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

     'hlsearch' 'hls'
	    type: boolean
	    default: true
	    Automatically select files that are search matches.

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

     'ignorecase' 'ic'
	    type: boolean
	    default: false
	    Ignore case in search patterns (:substitute, / and ? commands),
	    local filter (but not the rest of filters) and other things
	    detailed in the description of 'caseoptions'.

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

     'iooptions'
	    type: set
	    default: datasync
	    Controls details of file operations.  The following values are
	    available:
	     - datasync - periodically synchronize writes on copying files
	    when 'syscalls' is set.
			  (This makes copying last as long as it takes to
	    actually write
			  data to the medium, which is slower than you might
	    expect;
			  however, this also prevents system hanging due to
	    filling memory
			  with file-system cache.)
	     - fastfilecloning - perform fast file cloning (copy-on-write),
	    when available (available on Linux and btrfs file system).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	    Configures ls-like view.

	      item	    used for
	      columncount   fixed number of columns to display or 0
	      transposed    filling view grid by columns rather than by lines


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

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

	    Configures miller view.

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

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

	    rpreview specifies what file-system objects should be previewed in
	    the right column and takes three values: dirs (only directories),
	    files (only files) or all.	Neither value enables preview of
	    parent directory ("..").

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

	      set milleroptions=lsize:1,csize:2


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

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

     'mouse'
	    type: charset
	    default: ""

	    Contains a sequence of single-character flags:
	     - a - all supported modes (a shorthand for all the rest and
	    future additions)
	     - c - command-line mode (includes navigation mode)
	     - m - menu mode
	     - n - normal mode
	     - q - view mode
	     - v - visual mode

     'navoptions'
	    type: string list
	    default: "open:dirs"

	    Configures behaviour of navigation mode.

	      item	default
	      open:str	dirs

	    The "open" item specifies what file-system objects should be
	    opened on Enter and can take two values: dirs (only directories)
	    or all.

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

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

     'previewoptions'
	    type: string list
	    default: "graphicsdelay:50000"

	    Tweaks how previewing is done (in quick view, miller view's column
	    and view mode).

	      item		 default  meaning
	      graphicsdelay:num	 0	  delay before drawing graphics
	    (microseconds)
	      hardgraphicsclear	 unset	  redraw screen to get rid of graphics
	      maxtreedepth:num	 0	  max number of levels in preview tree
	      toptreestats	 unset	  show file counts before the tree

	    graphicsdelay is needed if terminal requires some timeout before
	    it can draw graphics (otherwise it gets lost).

	    hardgraphicsclear seems to be necessary to get rid of sixel
	    graphics in some terminals, where it otherwise lingers.  This can
	    cause flicker on the screen due to erasure followed by redrawing.

	    0 for maxtreedepth means "unlimited", 1 will only show selected
	    directory, 2 adds its children, and so forth.

	    Default value is used when item is missing from the option.

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

	    External command to be used instead of preview programs configured
	    via :fileviewer command.

	    Example:

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

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

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

				    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
	    supported:
	     %=	 - separation point between left and right aligned halves of
	    the line
	     %l	 - file number
	     %L	 - total number of files in view (including filtered out ones)
	     %x	 - number of files excluded by filters
	     %0- - old name for %x macro
	     %P	 - percentage through file list (All, Top, xx% or Bot), always
	    3 in length
	     %S	 - number of displayed files
	     %=	 - separation point between left and right align items
	     %%	 - literal 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.

	    Optional blocks are ignored unless at least one macro inside of
	    them is expanded to a non-empty value.

	    Example:

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

     'runexec'
	    type: boolean
	    default: false
	    Run executable file on Enter, l or Right Arrow key.	 Behaviour of
	    the last two depends on the value of the 'lsview' option.

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

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

     'sessionoptions' 'ssop'
	    sessionoptions ssop
	    type: set
	    default: tui,state,tabs,savedirs,dhistory
	    An equivalent of 'vifminfo' for sessions, uses the same values.
	    When both options include the same value, data from session file
	    has higher priority (data from vifminfo isn't necessarily
	    completely discarded, instead it's merged with the state of a
	    session the same way state of multiple instances is merged on
	    exit).

     'shell' 'sh'
	    type: string
	    default: $SHELL or "/bin/sh" or "cmd" (on MS-Windows)
	    Full path to the shell to use to run external commands.  On *nix a
	    shell argument can be supplied.

     'shellcmdflag' 'shcf'
	    type: string
	    default: "-c" or "/C" (for cmd.exe on MS-Windows)
	    Command-line option used to pass a command to 'shell'.  It's used
	    in contexts where command comes from the user.

	    Note that using this option to force interactive mode of the shell
	    is most likely a BAD IDEA.	In general interactive host and
	    interactive child shell can't share the same terminal session.
	    You can't even run such a shell in background.  Consider writing a
	    wrapper for your shell that preloads aliases and commands without
	    making the shell interactive and ending up using it in a way it
	    was not meant to be used.

	    Note that this option is ignored when 'shell' is set to PowerShell
	    due to the internal use of `-encodedCommand`.

     'shortmess' 'shm'
	    type: charset
	    default: "p"
	    Contains a sequence of single-character flags.  Each flag enables
	    shortening of some message displayed by vifm in the TUI.  Flags:
	     - L - display only last directory in tab line instead of full
	    path.
	     - M - shorten titles in windows of terminal multiplexers created
	    by vifm down to file name instead of using full path.
	     - T - truncate status bar messages in the middle if they are too
	    long to fit on the command line.  "..." will appear in the middle.
	     - p - use tilde shortening in view titles.


     'showtabline' 'stal'
	    type: enumeration
	    default: multiple
	    Specifies when tab line should be displayed.  Possible values:
	     - never	- never display tab line
	     - multiple - show tab line only when there are at least two tabs
	     - always	- display tab line always

	    Alternatively 0, 1 and 2 Vim-like values  are also accepted and
	    correspond to "never", "multiple" and "always" respectively.

     'sizefmt'
	    type: string list
	    default: "units:iec"
	    Configures the way size is formatted in human-friendly way.

		item	      value	    meaning
		units:	      iec	    Use 1024 byte units (K or KiB,
	    etc.).
					    See 'iec' option.
			      si	    Use 1000 byte units (KB, etc.).
		precision:    i > 0	    How many fraction digits to
	    consider.
			      {not set}	    Precision of 1 for integer part <
	    10,
					    0 otherwise (provides old
	    behaviour).
		space	      {present}	    Insert space before unit symbols.
					    This is the default.
		nospace	      {present}	    Do not insert space before unit
	    symbols.

	    Numbers are rounded from zero.  Trailing zeros are dropped.

	    Example:

	      set sizefmt=units:iec,precision:2,nospace


     'slowfs'
	    type: string list
	    default: ""
	    only for *nix
	    A list of mounter fs name beginnings (first column in /etc/mtab or
	    /proc/mounts) or paths prefixes for fs/directories that work too
	    slow for you.  This option can be used to stop vifm from making
	    some requests to particular kinds of file systems that can slow
	    down file browsing.	 Currently this means don't check if directory
	    has changed, skip check if target of symbolic links exists, assume
	    that link target located on slow fs to be a directory (allows
	    entering directories and navigating to files via gf).  If you set
	    the option to "*", it means all the systems are considered slow
	    (useful for cygwin, where all the checks might render vifm very
	    slow if there are network mounts).

	    Example for autofs root /mnt/autofs:

	      set slowfs+=/mnt/autofs

     'smartcase' 'scs'
	    type: boolean
	    default: false
	    Overrides the ignorecase option if a pattern contains at least one
	    upper case character.  Only used when 'ignorecase' option is
	    enabled.

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

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

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

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

	      set sort+=dir

	    or

	      set sort=-size,dir

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

	      - type key is added at the beginning;

	      - default key is added at the end;

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

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

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

     'sortgroups'
	    type: string
	    default: ""
	    scope: local
	    Sets comma-separated list of regular expressions for group type of
	    sorting.  Double the comma to insert it literally.

	    The regular expressions are used to extract substrings of file
	    names to serve as keys for sorting.	 It is essentially a way to
	    ignore uninteresting parts of file names during sorting by name.

	    Each expression should contain at least one group or its value
	    will be considered to be always empty.  Also, only the first match
	    of regular expression is processed.

	    The first group divides list of files into sub-groups, each of
	    which is then sorted by substrings extracted using second regular
	    expression and so on recursively.

	    Example:
	      set sortgroups=-(todo|done).*
	    this would group files with "-done" in their names and files with
	    "-todo" separately.	 On ascending sorting, group containing
	    "-done" would appear before the other one.

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

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

	    - %N - line break (increases height of the status line
	      accordingly), ignores %[ %] blocks

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

	    - %T - symbolic link target (empty for other filetypes)

	    - %f - file name relative to current directory (considers
	      'classify')

	    - %A - file attributes (permissions on *nix or properties on
	      Windows)

	    - %o - file permissions in octal form on *nix (nothing on Windows)

	    - %u - user name or uid (if it cannot be resolved)

	    - %g - group name or gid (if it cannot be resolved)

	    - %s - file size in human readable format

	    - %E - size of selected files in human readable format, same as %s
	      when no files are selected, except that it will never show size
	      of ../ in visual mode, since it cannot be selected

	    - %d - file modification date (uses 'timefmt' option)

	    - %D - path of the other pane for single-pane layout

	    - %a - amount of free space available on current FS

	    - %c - size of current FS

	    - %z - short tips/tricks/hints that chosen randomly after one
	      minute period

	    - %{<expr>} - evaluate arbitrary vifm expression '<expr>', e.g.
	      '&sort'

	    - %* - resets or applies one of User1..User20 highlight groups;
	      reset happens when width field is 0 or not specified, one of the
	      groups gets picked when width field is in the range from 1 to 20

	    - all 'rulerformat' macros

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

	    On Windows file properties include the following flags (upper case
	    means flag is on):
	     A - archive
	     H - hidden
	     I - content isn't indexed
	     R - readonly
	     S - system
	     C - compressed
	     D - directory
	     E - encrypted
	     P - reparse point (e.g. symbolic link)
	     Z - sparse file

	    Example without colors:

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

	    Example with colors:

	     highlight User1 ctermbg=yellow
	     highlight User2 ctermbg=blue ctermfg=white cterm=bold
	     set statusline="%1* %-26t %2* %= %1* %A %2* %7u:%-7g %1* %-5s %2* %d "


     'suggestoptions'
	    type: string list
	    default:
	    Controls when, for what and how suggestions are displayed.	The
	    following values are available:
	     - normal	       - in normal mode;
	     - visual	       - in visual mode;
	     - view	       - in view mode;
	     - otherpane       - use other pane to display suggestions, when
	    available;
	     - delay[:num]     - display suggestions after a small delay (to
	    do not annoy if you just want to type a fast shortcut consisting
	    of multiple keys), num specifies the delay in ms (500 by default),
	    'timeoutlen' at most;
	     - keys	       - include shortcuts (commands and selectors);
	     - foldsubkeys     - fold multiple keys with common prefix;
	     - marks	       - include marks;
	     - registers[:num] - include registers, at most num files (5 by
	    default).

     'syncregs'
	    type: string
	    default: ""
	    Specifies identifier of group of instances that share registers
	    among each other.  When several instances of vifm have this option
	    set to identical value, they automatically synchronize contents of
	    their registers on operations which use them.

     'syscalls'
	    type: boolean
	    default: false
	    When disabled, vifm will rely on external applications to perform
	    file-system operations, otherwise system calls are used instead
	    (much faster and supports progress tracking).  The option should
	    eventually be removed.  Mostly *nix-like systems are affected.

     'tablabel'
	    type: string
	    default: ""
	    When non-empty and 'tabline' isn't set, determines format of the
	    main part of a single tab's label.

	    When empty, tab label is set to either tab name for named tabs or
	    to view title (usually current path) for unnamed tabs.

	    The following macros can appear in the format (see below for what
	    a flag is):

	    - %C       - flag of a current tab

	    - %N       - number of the tab

	    - %T       - flag of a tree mode

	    - %c       - description of a custom view

	    - %n       - name of the tab

	    - %p       - path of the view (handles filename modifiers)

	    - %t       - title of the view (affected by 'shortmess' flags)

	    - %%       - literal percent sign

	    - %[       - designates beginning of an optional block

	    - %]       - designates end of an optional block

	    - %*, %0*  - resets highlighting

	    - %1*-%20* - applies one of User1..User20 highlight groups

	    In global tabs the view in bullets above refers to currently
	    active view of that tab.

	    Flag macros are a special kind of macros that always expand to an
	    empty value and are meant to be used inside optional blocks to
	    control their visibility.

	    Optional blocks are ignored unless at least one macro inside of
	    them is expanded to a non-empty value or is a set flag macro.

	      " %[(%n)%]	-- optional name of the tab
	      " %[		-- optional description of the view
	      "	  %[%T{tree}%]	-- mark of tree mode
	      "	  %[{%c}%]	-- description of custom view
	      "	  @		-- just an extra separator before the path
	      ' %]
	      " %p:t		-- tail part of view's location
	      set tablabel=%[(%n)%]%[%[%T{tree}%]%[{%c}%]@%]%p:t

     'tabline' 'tal'
	    type: string
	    default: ""
	    When non-empty, determines format of the tab line.	Note that
	    mouse clicks won't be handled when this option is non-empty.

	    The following macros can appear in the format:

	    - %*, %0*  - resets highlighting

	    - %1*-%20* - applies one of User1..User20 highlight groups

     'tabprefix'
	    type: string
	    default: "[%N:"
	    Determines prefix of a tab's label.	 Formatting is done as for
	    'tablabel' option.

     'tabscope'
	    type: enumeration
	    default: global
	    Picks style of tabs, which defines what a single tab contains.
	    Possible values:
	     - global - tab describes complete UI of two views and how they
	    are arranged
	     - pane   - tab is located "inside" a pane and manages it and
	    quick view

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

     'tabsuffix'
	    type: string
	    default: "]"
	    Determines suffix of a tab's label.	 Formatting is done as for
	    'tablabel' option.

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

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

     'title'
	    type: boolean
	    default: true when title can be restored, false otherwise
	    When enabled, title of the terminal or terminal multiplexer's
	    window is updated according to current location.  Because not all
	    terminals support setting title, this works only if `$TERM` value
	    matches one of the following conditions:
	     - equals "xterm" or starts with "xterm-"
	     - equals "rxvt" or starts with "rxvt-"
	     - equals "screen" or starts with "screen-"
	     - equals "aterm"
	     - equals "Eterm"

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

     'trashdir'
	    type: string
	    default:
	      on *nix:
		"%r/.vifm-Trash-%u,$XDG_DATA_HOME/vifm/Trash,%r/.vifm-Trash"
		or
		"%r/.vifm-Trash-%u,$VIFM/Trash,%r/.vifm-Trash"
	      on Windows:
		"%r/.vifm-Trash,$XDG_DATA_HOME/vifm/Trash"
		or
		"%r/.vifm-Trash,$VIFM/vifm/Trash"
	    List of trash directory path specifications, separated with
	    commas.  Each list item either defines an absolute path to trash
	    directory or a path relative to a mount point root when list
	    element starts with "%r/".	Value of the option can contain
	    environment variables (of form "$envname"), which will be expanded
	    (prepend $ with a slash to prevent expansion).  Environment
	    variables are expanded when the option is set.

	    On *nix, if element ends with "%u", the mark is replaced with real
	    user ID and permissions are set so that only that only owner is
	    able to use it.
	    Note that even this setup is not completely secure when combined
	    with "%r/" and it's overall safer to keep files in home directory,
	    but that implies cost of copying files between partitions.

	    When new file gets cut (deleted) vifm traverses each element of
	    the option in the order of their appearance and uses first trash
	    directory that it was able to create or that is already writable.

	    Default value tries to use trash directory per mount point and
	    falls back to trash common trash directory on failure.

	    Will attempt to create the directory if it does not exist.	See
	    "Trash directory" section below.

     'tuioptions' 'to'
	    type: charset
	    default: "psv"
	    Each flag configures some aspect of TUI appearance.	 The flags
	    are:
	    p - when included:
	      * file list inside a pane gets additional single character
	    padding on left and right sides;
	      * quick view and view mode get single character padding.
	    s - when included, left and right borders (side borders, hence "s"
	    character) are visible.
	    u - use Unicode characters in the TUI (Unicode ellipsis instead of
	    "...").
	    v - vary width of vertical middle border to equalize view sizes.

	    Each pane title contains the path of the listed directory.	If too
	    large, the path is truncated on the left for the active pane and
	    on the right for the other pane.  This can be modified with:

	    l - truncation is always on the left.
	    r - truncation is always on the right.

     'undolevels' 'ul'
	    type: integer
	    default: 100
	    Maximum number of changes that can be undone.  Note that here
	    single file operation is used as a unit, not operation, i.e.
	    deletion of 101 files will exceed default limit.

     'vicmd'
	    type: string
	    default: "vim"
	    Command used to edit files in various contexts.  Ampersand sign at
	    the end (regardless whether it's preceded by space or not) means
	    backgrounding of command.

	    Background flag is ignored in certain context where vifm waits for
	    the editor to finish.  Such contexts include any command that
	    spawns editor to change list of file names or a command, with
	    :rename being one example.	`-f` is also appended to prevent
	    forking in such cases, so the command needs to handle the flag.

	    Additionally `+{num}` and `+'call cursor()'` arguments are used to
	    position cursor when location is known.

     'viewcolumns'
	    type: string
	    default: ""
	    scope: local
	    Format string containing list of columns in the view.  When this
	    option is empty, view columns to show are chosen automatically
	    using sorting keys (see 'sort') as a base.	Value of this option
	    is ignored if 'lsview' is set.  See "Column view" section below
	    for format description.

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

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

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

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

	       bmarks	 - named bookmarks (see :bmark command)
	       bookmarks - marks, except special ones like '< and '>
	       tui	 - state of the user interface (sorting, number of
	    windows, quick
			   view state, active view)
	       dhistory	 - directory history
	       state	 - file name and dot filters and terminal multiplexers
	    integration
			   state
	       cs	 - primary color scheme
	       savedirs	 - save last visited directory
	       chistory	 - command line history
	       ehistory	 - expression register history (see description of
	    Ctrl+R =
			   in command-line mode)
	       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 instance is empty
	       registers - registers content
	       tabs	 - global or pane tabs
	       options	 - all options that can be set with the :set command
	    (obsolete)
	       filetypes - associated programs and viewers (obsolete)
	       commands	 - user defined commands (see :command description)
	    (obsolete)

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

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

     'wildstyle'
	    type: enumeration
	    default: bar
	    Picks presentation style of wild menu.  Possible values:
	     - bar   - one-line with left-to-right cursor
	     - popup - multi-line with top-to-bottom cursor

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

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

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

	    To get the latter use the following mapping:

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

	    Also used for abbreviations.

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

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

Mappings
     A user mapping like `nnoremap lhs rhs` defines a substitution of the
     left-hand-side (LHS) with the right-hand-side (RHS) in the input stream.
     A regular mapping (without "nore" in :command's name) expands recognized
     sequences in the RHS, while "*noremap" mapping always interprets RHS as
     if no user mappings were defined and each key has its builtin meaning.
     In most cases you want to use noremap variant and if your RHS includes
     LHS, only noremap variant will work because recursion in a mapping is not
     allowed.

     In order to define a mapping determine in which mode you want to activate
     it and use an appropriate "*noremap" :command (e.g., :nnoremap for a
     normal mode mapping).  RHS doesn't have to limit itself to the mode in
     which the mapping was started and can span multiple modes.

     Map arguments

     LHS of mappings can be preceded by arguments which take the form of
     special sequences:

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

     <wait> In case of builtin mapping causing conflict for a user-defined
	    mapping (e.g., `t` builtin to a partially typed `ta` user-defined
	    mapping), ignore the builtin mapping and wait for input
	    indefinitely as opposed to default behaviour of triggering the
	    builtin mapping after a delay defined by 'timeoutlen'.  Example:

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

     Special sequences

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

     <cr>   Enter key.

     <esc>  Escape key.

     <space>
	    Space key.

     <lt>   Less-than character (<).

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

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

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

     <home> <end>
	    Home/End.

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

     <pageup> <pagedown>
	    PageUp/PageDown.

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

     <insert>
	    Insert key.

     <s-home> <s-end>
     <s-left> <s-right> <s-up> <s-down>
     <s-pageup> <s-pagedown>
     <s-delete> <s-insert>
	     Shift + one of the keys from above, if terminal and its terminfo
	     supports it.

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

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

     <a-a>,<a-b>,...,<a-z>
     <m-a>,<m-b>,...,<m-z>
     <a-0>,<a-1>,...,<a-9> {only for *nix}
     <m-0>,<m-1>,...,<m-9> {only for *nix}
	     Alt + some key.

     <a-s-a>,<a-s-b>,...,<a-s-z> {only for *nix}
     <s-a-a>,<s-a-b>,...,<s-a-z> {only for *nix}
     <m-s-a>,<m-s-b>,...,<m-s-z> {only for *nix}
     <s-m-a>,<s-m-b>,...,<s-m-z> {only for *nix}
	     Alt + Shift + some key.

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

     <f0> - <f63>
	    Functional keys.

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

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

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

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

       - <cr> and <c-m>;

       - <tab> and <c-i>;

       - <c-h> and <bs> and <del>;

       - etc.

     Most of the time they are defined consistently and don't cause surprises,
     but <c-h> and <bs> are treated differently in different environments
     (although they match each other all the time), that's why they correspond
     to different keys in vifm.	 As a consequence, if you map <c-h> or <bs> be
     sure to repeat the mapping with the other one so that it works in all
     environments.  Alternatively, provide your mapping in one form and add
     one of the following:

       " if mappings with <c-h> in the LHS work
       map <c-h> <bs>
       " if mappings with <bs> in the LHS work
       map <bs> <c-h>

     Also sometimes neither of them might work and it's <del> key which
     corresponds to your backspace (don't mind the name).

     Whitespace

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

       cmap <f1> man<space>

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

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

     expr1
     -----
     expr2 || expr2

     Arguments are converted to numbers before evaluation.

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

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

     expr2
     -----
     expr3 && expr3

     Arguments are converted to numbers before evaluation.

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

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

     expr3
     -----
     expr4 {cmp} expr4

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

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

     Examples:

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

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

     Examples:

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

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

     Examples:

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

     expr6
     -----

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

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

     A String will be converted to a Number first.

     These operations can be repeated and mixed.  Examples:

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

     expr7
     -----

     number		  number constant
     -----

     Decimal number.  Examples:

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

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

     Note that double quotes are used.

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

     Examples:

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

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

     Note that single quotes are used.

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

     Examples:

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

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

     Examples:

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

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

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

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

     Examples:

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

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

     Information exposed by vifm for use in scripting.

     v:count
       count passed to : command, 0 by default.	 Can be used in mappings to
     passthe count to a different command.
     v:count1
       same as v:count, but 1 by default.
     v:jobcount
       number of active jobs (as can be seen in the :jobs menu).
     v:session
       name of the current session or empty string.
     v:servername
       See below.

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

     See "Functions" section below.

     Examples:

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

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

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

     tabpagenr([{arg}])	   Integer     Returns number of current or last tab.
     term({command})	   String      Like system(), but for interactive
     commands.

     chooseopt({opt})

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

     executable({expr})

     If {expr} is absolute or relative path, checks whether path destination
     exists and refers to an executable, otherwise checks whether command
     named {expr} is present in directories listed in $PATH.  Checks for
     various executable extensions on Windows.	Returns boolean value
     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} (in this order).
     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')
       " full path to the current file with backslashes
       :echo expand('%c:p:gs!/!\!')

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

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

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

     Example:

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

     filereadable({path})

     Checks whether {path} exists and refers to a non-directory entry and its
     permissions allow reading.	 Returns boolean value describing result of
     the check.

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

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

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

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

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

     fnameescape({expr})

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

     Usage example:

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

     getpanetype()

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

     has({property})

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

     Usage example:

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

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

     input({prompt} [, {initial} [, {completion}]])

     Creates a command-line prompt to obtain user's input.  Initial value can
     be supplied as an optional second parameter, otherwise empty string is
     used.

     Optional third parameter specifies kind of completion, which can be one
     of:
	 dir   paths to directories
	 file  paths to files and directories
	 ""    (empty string, default) no completion

     Note that behaviour differs from Vim where executing a mapping like
       nnoremap j :echo input('text: ')<cr>input
     leaves you in a prompt mode with "input" typed in.	 Vifm will wait for
     leaving the prompt and then continue executing the mapping.

     Usage example:

       nnoremap ,m : let $DIR_NAME = input('mkdir: ', '', 'dir')
		  \| if $DIR_NAME != ''
		  \|	 execute 'mkdir' fnameescape($DIR_NAME)
		  \| endif<cr>

     layoutis({type})

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

     Usage example:

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

     paneisat({loc})

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

     system({command})

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

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

     Usage example:

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

     tabpagenr([{arg}])

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

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

     term({command})

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

     Usage example:

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

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

     Commands

     :range navigate to a menu line.

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

     :noh[lsearch]
	    reset search match highlighting.

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

     General

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

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

     In all menus

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

     :cd command was used.

     Directory stack menu

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

     File (:file) menu

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

     e - (*nix only) (un)set recursion (for directories only)

     Item states:

     - * - checked flag.

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

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

     Jobs menu (:jobs)

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

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

     r - reload the list of jobs.

     r - reset undo position to group under the cursor.


     Media menu

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

     Selecting a mount point navigates to it.

     Selecting "not mounted" line causes mounting.

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

     [ - put cursor on the previous device.

     ] - put cursor on the next device.


     Plugins menu

     e - display log messages of selected plugin if any were collected.	 They
     are displayed in a new menu, but you can get back to plugins menu by
     pressing h.

     gf - navigate previously active view to the location of selected plugin.
     Leaves menu mode.


Custom views
     Definition

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

     Presentation

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

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

     Custom views normally don't contain any inexistent files.

     Navigation

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

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

     h - go to closes parent node in tree view, otherwise return to the
     original directory.

     gh - return to the original directory.

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

     History

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

     Filters

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

     Search

     Although directory names are visible in listing, they are not searchable.
     Only file names are taken into account (might be changed in future,
     searching whole lines seems quite reasonable).

     Sorting

     Contrary to search sorting by name works on whole visible part of file
     path.

     Highlight

     Whole file name is highlighted as one entity, even if there are directory
     elements.

     Updates

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

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

     Operations

     All operations that add files are forbidden for custom views.  For
     example, moving/copying/putting files into a custom view doesn't work,
     because it doesn't make much sense.

     On the other hand, operations that use files of a custom view as a source
     (e.g. yanking, copying, moving file from custom view, deletion) and
     operations that modify names are all allowed.

Compare views
     Kinds

     :compare can produce four different results depending on arguments:
      - single compare view (ofone and either listall or listdups);
      - single custom view (ofone and listunique);
      - two compare views (ofboth and either listall or listdups);
      - two custom views (ofboth and listunique).

     The first two display files of one file system tree.  Here duplicates are
     files that have at least one copy in the same tree.  The other two kinds
     of operation compare two trees, in which duplicates are files that are
     found in both trees.

     Lists of unique files are presented in custom views because there is no
     file grouping to preserve as all file ids are guaranteed to be distinct.

     Creation

     Arguments passed to :compare form seven categories each with its own
     prefix and is responsible for particular property of operation.

     Which files to compare:
      - ofboth - compares files of two panes against each other;
      - ofone  - compares files of the same directory.

     How files are compared:
      - byname	   - by their name only;
      - bysize	   - only by their size;
      - bycontents - by data they contain (combination of size and hash of
     small chunk of contents is used as first approximation, so don't worry
     too much about large files).

     Which files to display:
      - listall	   - all files;
      - listunique - unique files only;
      - listdups   - only duplicated files.

     How results are grouped (has no effect if "ofone" specified):
      - groupids   - files considered identical are always adjacent in output;
      - grouppaths - file system ordering is preferred (this also enables
     displaying identically named files as mismatches).

     Which files to omit:
      - skipempty - ignore empty files.

     Comparison tweaks:
      - withicase - ignore case when comparing file names/paths;
      - withrcase - respect case when comparing file names/paths.

     Which results to show (has no effect for single pane comparison):
      - showidentical	- toggle showing of identical files;
      - showdifferent	- toggle showing of different files;
      - showuniqueleft	- toggle showing of unique top/left files;
      - showuniqueright - toggle showing of unique bottom/right files.

     Each argument can appear multiple times, the rightmost one of the group
     is considered.  Arguments alter default behaviour instead of substituting
     it.

     When neither "withicase" nor "withrcase" is specified, case depends on
     the running operating system and the file system on which the files are
     located.

     Examples

     The defaults corresponds to probably the most common use case of
     comparing files in two trees with grouping by paths, so the following are
     equivalent:

       :compare
       :compare bycontents grouppaths
       :compare bycontents listall ofboth grouppaths
       :compare showidentical showdifferent showuniqueleft showuniqueright

     Another use case is to find duplicates in the current sub-tree:

       :compare listdups ofone

     The following command lists files that are unique to each pane:

       :compare listunique

     Look

     The view can't switch to ls-like view as it's unable to display diff-like
     data.

     Comparison views have second column displaying id of the file, files with
     same id are considered to be equal.  The view columns configuration is
     predefined.

     The status bar displays only the initial result of the comparison and can
     be out of date.

     Behaviour

     When two views are being compared against each other the following
     changes to the regular behaviour apply:
      - views are scrolled synchronously (as if 'scrollbind' was set);
      - views' cursors are synchronized;
      - local filtering is disabled (its results wouldn't be meaningful);
      - zd excludes groups of adjacent identical files, 1zd gives usual
     behaviour;
      - sorting is permanently disabled (ordering is fixed);
      - removed files hide their counter pairs;
      - exiting one of the views terminates the other immediately;
      - renaming files isn't blocked, but isn't taken into account and might
     require regeneration of comparison;
      - entries which indicate absence of equivalent file have empty names and
     can be matched as such;
      - when unique files of both views are listed custom views can be empty,
     this absence of unique files is stated clearly.

     One compare view has similar properties (those that are applicable for
     single pane).

     Files are gathered in this way:
      - recursively starting at current location of the view;
      - dot files are excluded if view hides them at the moment of comparison,
     file name filters are obeyed as well so you end up comparing what you
     see;
      - directories are not taken into account;
      - symbolic links to directories are ignored.

Startup
     On startup vifm determines several variables that are used during
     execution.	 They are determined in the order they appear below.

     On *nix systems $HOME is normally present and used as is.	On Windows
     systems vifm tries to find correct home directory in the following order:
      - $HOME variable;
      - $USERPROFILE variable (on Windows only);
      - a combination of $HOMEDRIVE and $HOMEPATH variables (on Windows only).

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

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

Configure
     See "Startup" section above for the explanations on $VIFM and $MYVIFMRC.

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

     Use vifmrc to set settings, mappings, filetypes etc.  To use multi line
     commands precede each next line with a slash (whitespace before slash is
     ignored, but all spaces at the end of the lines are saved).  For example:

       set
	   \smartcase

     equals "setsmartcase".  When

       set<space here>
	   \ smartcase

     equals "set  smartcase".

     The $VIFM/vifminfo file contains generic state of the application.	 You
     can control what is stored in vifminfo by setting 'vifminfo' option.
     Vifm always writes this file on exit unless 'vifminfo' option is empty.
     Marks, bookmarks, commands, histories, filetypes, fileviewers and
     registers in the file are merged with vifm configuration (which has
     bigger priority).

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

       - directory stack stored in the file is not overwritten unless
	 something is changed in vifm instance that performs merge;

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

       - all histories are marked with timestamps on storing, this means that
	 last instance to quit puts its elements on top of the list;

       - tabs are merged only if both current instance and stored state
	 contain exactly one tab of any kind.

     The $VIFM/scripts directory can contain shell scripts.  vifm modifies its
     PATH environment variable to let user run those scripts without
     specifying full path.  All subdirectories of the $VIFM/scripts will be
     added to PATH too.	 Script in a subdirectory overlaps script with the
     same name in all its parent directories.

     The $VIFM/colors/ and {prefix}/etc/vifm/colors/ directories contain color
     schemes.  Available color schemes are searched in that order, so on name
     conflict the one in $VIFM/colors/ wins.

     Each color scheme should have ".vifm" extension.  This wasn't the case
     before and for this reason the following rules apply during lookup:

       - if there is no file with .vifm extension, all regular files are
	 listed;

       - otherwise only files with .vifm extension are listed (with the
	 extension being truncated).

Sessions
     Sessions provide a way to have multiple persistent runtime
     configurations.  Think of them as second-level vifminfo files in addition
     to the first-level one used by all sessions.  In other words, they aren't
     a replacement for vifminfo file that exists without sessions, but an
     addition to it.  One can empty 'vifminfo' option and rely solely on
     sessions, but in practice one might want to share some state among
     instances in different sessions or have an "out-of-sessions" state for
     tasks that don't deserve a session of their own.

     This leads to a two-level structure where data in session files has
     higher priority than data in vifminfo files (where this makes sense)
     following the same rules that merging of vifminfo file obeys.  In
     addition to that, history items from session files are never ordered
     before history items from vifminfo file.

     Format

     Sessions have the format of vifminfo files, they do not consist of
     sequence of command-line commands and are not meant to be sourced via
     :source command.

     Storage and naming

     `$VIFM/sessions/` directory serves as a storage for sessions.
     Consequently names should be valid filenames.  The structure of the
     storage is flat meaning that there are no subdirectories, that's why
     names of sessions can't contain slashes.

     Usage model

     Contrary to Vim, vifm automates basic management of sessions.  You can
     start, switch, stop or delete a session using builtin means.

     Current session is saved at the same time vifminfo is saved (on normal
     exits or explicitly on :write command) and right before switching to
     another session.  To avoid saving in those cases use :session command to
     detach (without saving) from a session before proceeding.

Automatic FUSE mounts
     vifm has a builtin support of automated FUSE file system mounts.  It is
     implemented using file associations mechanism.  To enable automated
     mounts, one needs to use a specially formatted program line in filetype
     or filextype commands.  These use special macros, which differ from
     macros in commands unrelated to FUSE.  Currently three formats are
     supported:

     1) FUSE_MOUNT This format should be used in case when all information
     needed for mounting all files of a particular type is the same.  E.g.
     mounting of tar files don't require any file specific options.

     Format line:
       FUSE_MOUNT|mounter %SOURCE_FILE %DESTINATION_DIR [%FOREGROUND]

     Example filetype command:

       :filetype FUSE_MOUNT|fuse-zip %SOURCE_FILE %DESTINATION_DIR

     2) FUSE_MOUNT2 This format allows one to use specially formatted files to
     perform mounting and is useful for mounting remotes, for example remote
     file systems over ftp or ssh.

     Format line:
       FUSE_MOUNT2|mounter %PARAM %DESTINATION_DIR [%FOREGROUND]

     Example filetype command:

       :filetype *.ssh FUSE_MOUNT2|sshfs %PARAM %DESTINATION_DIR

     Example file content:

       root@127.0.0.1:/

     3) FUSE_MOUNT3

     This format is equivalent to FUSE_MOUNT, but omits unmounting.  It is
     useful for cases, when unmounting isn't needed, like when using AVFS.

     Example :filetype command:

       :filetype *.tar,*.tar.bz2,*.tbz2,*.tgz,*.tar.gz,*.tar.xz,*.txz,*.deb
	    \ {Mount with avfs}
	    \ FUSE_MOUNT3|mount-avfs %DESTINATION_DIR %SOURCE_FILE

     Example `mount-avfs` helper script:

       #!/bin/sh

       dest=$1
       file=$2

       rmdir "$dest"
       ln -s "$HOME/.avfs$file#/" "$dest"

     All % macros are expanded by vifm at runtime and have the following
     meaning:
       - %SOURCE_FILE is replaced by full path to selected file;
       - %DESTINATION_DIR is replaced by full path to mount directory, which
     is created by vifm basing on the value of 'fusehome' option;
       - %PARAM value is filled from the first line of file (whole line),
     though in the future it can be changed to whole file content;
       - %FOREGROUND means that you want to run mount command as a regular
     command (required to be able to provide input for communication with
     mounter in interactive way).

     %FOREGROUND is an optional macro.	Other macros are not mandatory, but
     mount commands likely won't work without them.

     %CLEAR is obsolete name of %FOREGROUND, which is still supported, but
     might be removed in future.  Its use is discouraged.

     Unlike macros elsewhere, these are recognized only if they appear at the
     end of a command or are followed by a space.  There is no way to escape %
     either.  These are historical limitations, which might be addressed in
     the future.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     By default the view is filled by lines, 'lsoptions' can be used to get
     filling by columns.

     Note that tree-view and compare view inhibit ls-like view.

Column view
     View columns are described by a comma-separated list of column
     descriptions, each of which has the following format
	 [ '-' | '*' ] [ fw ( [ '.' tw ] | '%' ) ] '{' type | literal '}'
     '.'{0,3}
     where fw stands for full width, tw stands for text width, bar is logical
     or, square brackets denote optional parts and curly braces define range
     of repetitions for a symbol that precedes them.

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

     Alignment specifier

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

     Specifies type of text alignment within a column.	Three types are
     supported:

     - left align

	 set viewcolumns=-{name}

     - right align (default)

	 set viewcolumns={name}

     - dynamic align

       It's like left alignment, but when the text is bigger than the column,
       the alignment is made at the right (so the part of the field is always
       visible).

	 set viewcolumns=*{name}

     Width specifier

     It's a number followed by a percent sign, two numbers (second one should
     be less than or equal to the first one) separated with a dot or a single
     number.

     Specifies column width and its units. There are three size types:

     - absolute size - column width is specified in characters

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     Column contents

     This is usually a sorting key surrounded with curly braces, e.g.

       {name},{ext},{mtime}

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

     Following types don't have corresponding sorting keys:

       - {root}	    - display name without extension (as a complement for
	 {ext})

       - {fileroot} - display name without extension for anything except for
	 directories and symbolic links to directories (as a complement for
	 {fileext})

     Empty curly braces ({}) are replaced with the default secondary column
     for primary sort key. So after the next command view will be displayed
     almost as if 'viewcolumns' is empty, but adding ellipsis for long file
     names:

       set viewcolumns=-{name}..,6{}.

     The last kind of column value is a string literal.	 The literal is used
     as a column value for every row.  The syntax is "{#literal}", for
     example:

       3{#},{#|},{# | }

     This can be used to draw column separators.  Mind that for convenience
     literals have different defaults: truncation and automatically determined
     absolute size, which is what you usually want for them.  Example:

       set viewcolumns=*{name}..,{#|},6{}.

     Cropping specifier

     It's from one to three dots after closing curly brace in column format.

     Specifies type of text truncation if it doesn't fit in the column.
     Currently three types are supported:

       - truncation - text is truncated

	   set viewcolumns=-{name}.

	 results in truncation of names that are too long too fit in the view.

       - adding of ellipsis - ellipsis on the left or right are added when
	 needed

	   set viewcolumns=-{name}..

	 results in that ellipsis are added at the end of too long file names.

       - none (default) - text can pass column boundaries

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

	 results in that long file names can partially be written on the ext
	 column.

Color schemes
     The color schemes in vifm can be applied in two different ways:

       - as the primary color scheme;

       - as local to a pane color scheme.

     Both types are set using :colorscheme command, but of different forms:

       - :colorscheme color_scheme_name - for the primary color scheme;

       - :colorscheme color_scheme_name directory - for local color schemes.

     Look of different parts of the TUI (Text User Interface) is determined in
     this way:

       - Border, TabLine, TabLineSel, TopLineSel, TopLine, CmdLine, ErrorMsg,
	 StatusLine, JobLine, SuggestBox and WildMenu are always determined by
	 the primary color scheme;

       - CurrLine, Selected, Directory, Link, BrokenLink, Socket, Device,
	 Executable, Fifo, CmpMismatch, CmpUnmatched, CmpBlank, Win, AuxWin
	 and OtherWin are determined by primary color scheme and a set of
	 local color schemes, which can be empty.

     There might be a set of local color schemes because they are structured
     hierarchically according to file system structure. For example, having
     the following piece of file system:

       ~
       `-- bin
	  |
	  `-- my

     Two color schemes:

       # ~/.config/vifm/colors/for_bin.vifm
       highlight Win cterm=none ctermfg=white ctermbg=red
       highlight CurrLine cterm=none ctermfg=red ctermbg=black

       # ~/.config/vifm/colors/for_bin_my.vifm
       highlight CurrLine cterm=none ctermfg=green ctermbg=black

     And these three commands in the vifmrc file:

       colorscheme Default
       colorscheme for_bin ~/bin
       colorscheme for_bin_my ~/bin/my

     File list will look in the following way for each level:

     - ~/ - Default color scheme
       black background
       cursor with blue background

     - ~/bin/ - mix of Default and for_bin color schemes
       red background
       cursor with black background and red foreground

     - ~/bin/my/ - mix of Default, for_bin and for_bin_my color schemes
       red background
       cursor with black background and green foreground

Trash directory
     vifm has support of trash directory, which is used as temporary storage
     for deleted files or files that were cut.	Using trash is controlled by
     the 'trash' option, and exact path to the trash can be set with
     'trashdir' option.	 Trash directory in vifm differs from the system-wide
     one by default, because of possible incompatibilities of storing deleted
     files among different file managers.  But one can set 'trashdir' to
     "~/.local/share/Trash" to use a "standard" trash directory.

     There are two scenarios of using trash in vifm:

       1. As a place for storing files that were cut by "d" and may be
	  inserted to some other place in file system.

       2. As a storage of files, that are deleted but not purged yet.

     The first scenario uses deletion ("d") operations to put files to trash
     and put ("p") operations to restore files from trash directory.  Note
     that such operations move files to and from trash directory, which can be
     long term operations in case of different partitions or remote drives
     mounted locally.

     The second scenario uses deletion ("d") operations for moving files to
     trash directory and :empty command-line command to purge all previously
     deleted files.

     Deletion and put operations depend on registers, which can point to files
     in trash directory.  Normally, there are no nonexistent files in
     registers, but vifm doesn't keep track of modifications under trash
     directory, so one shouldn't expect value of registers to be absolutely
     correct if trash directory was modified not by operation that are meant
     for it.  But this won't lead to any issues with operations, since they
     ignore nonexistent files.

Client-Server
     vifm supports remote execution of command-line mode commands, remote
     changing of directories and expression evaluation.	 This is possible
     using --remote and --remote-expr command-line arguments.

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

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

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

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

     Evaluating expression remotely might be useful to query information about
     an instance, for example its location:

       vifm --remote-expr 'expand("%d")'

     If there are several running instances, the target can be specified with
     --server-name option (otherwise, the first one lexicographically is
     used):

       vifm --server-name work --remote ~/work/project

     List of names of running instances can be obtained via --server-list
     option.  Name of the current one is available via v:servername.


     v:servername
	    server name of the running vifm instance.  Empty if client-server
	    feature is disabled.

External Renaming
     When an editor is run to edit list of file names, contents of the
     temporary file has the following format:

       1. Order of lines correspond to the order of files in a view.

       2. Lines that start with a "#" are comments and are ignored.

       3. Single backslash at the beginning of a line is ignored, so that a
	  file starting with a backslash will appear like "\#name".

     If an operation was rejected due to issues with file names, next time
     you'll see the following in this order:

       1. Last error (in comments).

       2. Original file names (in comments).

       3. Failed list of new names.

     Mind that Vim plugin will extract list of original names and show them in
     a vertical split.

     You can cancel renaming by removing all non-comments from the buffer.
     This also erases information about previous edits.

Using mouse
     Note: <ScrollWheelDown> is not available on 32-bit *nix systems, because
     ncurses doesn't support it there (limitation of implementation).

     Note: these are not available in mappings at the momemnt.

     Normal Mode

       event		 position  change  action
			  cursor   window
       <LeftMouse>	   yes	    yes	   <cr> if cursor wasn't move
       <LeftRelease>	    no	    yes
       <MiddleMouse>	    no	    yes	   <c-e>
       <MiddleRelease>	    no	    yes
       <RightMouse>	   yes	    yes	   :file
       <RightRelease>	    no	    yes
       <ScrollWheelUp>	    no	    yes	   <c-y> or :tabprevious
       <ScrollWheelDown>    no	    yes	   <c-e> or :tabnext

     Clicking on or scrolling over an inactive pane (including its title),
     makes it active and does nothing else.  Tabs are scrolled when mouse
     hovers over them.

     Clicking on the left miller column goes to parent directory and clicking
     the right one opens current entry.

     detaches view mode if it wasn't activated for exploring a file.


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

     Commands:

       :EditVifm   select a file or files to open in the current buffer.
       :Vifm	   alias for :EditVifm.
       :SplitVifm  split buffer and select a file or files to open.
       :VsplitVifm vertically split buffer and select a file or files to open.
       :DiffVifm   select a file or files to compare to the current file with
		   :vert diffsplit.
       :TabVifm	   select a file or files to open in tabs.

     Each command accepts up to two arguments: left pane directory and right
     pane directory.  After arguments are checked, vifm process is spawned in
     a special "file-picker" mode.  To pick files just open them either by
     pressing l, i or Enter keys, or by running :edit command.	If no files
     are selected, file under the cursor is opened, otherwise whole selection
     is passed to the plugin and opened in vim.

     The plugin have only two settings.	 It's a string variable named
     g:vifm_term to let user specify command to run GUI terminal.  By default
     it's equal to 'xterm -e'.	And another string variable named g:vifm_exec,
     which equals "vifm" by default and specifies path to vifm's executable.
     To pass arguments to vifm use g:vifm_exec_args, which is empty by
     default.

     To use the plugin copy the vifm.vim file to either the system wide
     vim/plugin directory or into ~/.vim/plugin.

     If you would prefer not to use the plugin and it is in the system wide
     plugin directory add

     let loaded_vifm=1

     to your ~/.vimrc file.

Reserved
     The following command names are reserved and shouldn't be used for user
     commands.

       g[lobal]
       v[global]

ENVIRONMENT
     VIFM   Points to main configuration directory (usually ~/.config/vifm/).

     MYVIFMRC
	    Points to main configuration file (usually ~/.config/vifm/vifmrc).

     These environment variables are valid inside vifm and also can be used to
     configure it by setting some of them before running vifm.

     When $MYVIFMRC isn't set, it's made as $VIFM/vifmrc (exception for
     Windows: vifmrc in the same directory as vifm.exe has higher priority
     than $VIFM/vifmrc).

     See "Startup" section above for more details.

     VIFM_FUSE_FILE
	    On execution of external commands this variable is set to the full
	    path of file used to initiate FUSE mount of the closest mount
	    point from current pane's 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).
