Matcher
This is a standalone library that does the same fuzzy-find matching as Command-T.vim.
Installation
$ make
# move `matcher` somewhere useful
$ make install
# make install will install it to /usr/local/bin.
Usage
Matcher searches for a string in a list of filenames, and returns the ones it thinks you are most likely referring to. It works exactly like fuzzy-finder, Command-T, and so on.
Usage:
$ matcher [options] <search>
Options:
--limit
: The number of matches to return (default 10)--no-dotfiles
: Dotfiles will never be returned (by default, they may be)--manifest
: Specify a file containing the list of files to scan. If none given, matcher will read the list from stdin.
Examples
$ matcher --limit 20 --no-dotfiles --manifest filelist.txt customer.rb
$ find . | matcher order
Using with CtrlP.vim
let g:path_to_matcher = "/path/to/matcher"
let g:ctrlp_user_command = ['.git/', 'cd %s && git ls-files . -co --exclude-standard']
let g:ctrlp_match_func = { 'match': 'GoodMatch' }
function! GoodMatch(items, str, limit, mmode, ispath, crfile, regex)
" Create a cache file if not yet exists
let cachefile = ctrlp#utils#cachedir().'/matcher.cache'
if !( filereadable(cachefile) && a:items == readfile(cachefile) )
call writefile(a:items, cachefile)
endif
if !filereadable(cachefile)
return []
endif
" a:mmode is currently ignored. In the future, we should probably do
" something about that. the matcher behaves like "full-line".
let cmd = g:path_to_matcher.' --limit '.a:limit.' --manifest '.cachefile.' '
if !( exists('g:ctrlp_dotfiles') && g:ctrlp_dotfiles )
let cmd = cmd.'--no-dotfiles '
endif
let cmd = cmd.a:str
return split(system(cmd), "\n")
endfunction
Using with zsh
_matcher_complete() {
git ls-files | /Users/burke/bin/matcher -l20 ${words[CURRENT]} | while read line; do
compadd -U "$line"
done
compstate[insert]=menu # no expand
}
zle -C matcher-complete 'menu-select' _matcher_complete
bindkey '^X^T' matcher-complete # C-x C-t to find matches for the search under the cursor
# bindkey '^T' matcher-complete # C-t to find matches for the search under the cursor
