NAME
       vifm - vi file manager

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

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

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

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

       <path> Starts Vifm in the specified path.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       --no-configs
	      Skip reading vifmrc and vifminfo.


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

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

       Ctrl-L clear and redraw the screen.

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

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

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

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

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

       gg     move to the first line of the file list.

       G      move to the last line in the file list.

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

       gl or Enter
	      enter directory or launch a file.

       H      move to the first file in the window.

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

       L      move to the last file in the window.

       Ctrl-F or Page Down
	      move forward one page.

       Ctrl-B or Page Up
	      move back one page.

       Ctrl-D jump back one half page.

       Ctrl-U jump forward one half page.

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

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

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

       Space  switch file lists.

       gt     switch to the next tab (wrapping around).

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

       gT     switch to the previous tab (wrapping around).

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

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

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

       [count]j
	      move down [count] files.

       [count]k
	      move up [count] files.

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

       [count]h
	      go up [count] directories.

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

       zz     redraw pane with file in center of list.

       zb     redraw pane with file in bottom of list.

       Ctrl-E scroll pane one line down.

       Ctrl-Y scroll pane one line up.

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

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

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

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

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


       Ctrl-W h
	      switch to the left pane.

       Ctrl-W j
	      switch to the pane below.

       Ctrl-W k
	      switch to the pane above.

       Ctrl-W l
	      switch to the right pane.


       Ctrl-W b
	      switch to bottom-right window.

       Ctrl-W t
	      switch to top-left window.


       Ctrl-W p
	      switch to previous window.

       Ctrl-W w
	      switch to other pane.


       Ctrl-W o
	      leave only one pane.

       Ctrl-W s
	      split window horizontally.

       Ctrl-W v
	      split window vertically.


       Ctrl-W x
	      exchange panes.

       Ctrl-W z
	      quit preview pane or view modes.


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

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

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

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


       Ctrl-W |
	      set current view size to count.

       Ctrl-W _
	      set current view size to count.

       Ctrl-W =
	      make size of two views equal.

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

File Filters
       There are three basic file filters:

	 - dot files filter (excluding "." and ".." special directories, whose
	   appearance is controlled by the 'dotdirs' option);

	 - manual filter for file names;

	 - automatic filter for file names;

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

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

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

       Each file list has its own copy of each filter.

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

       Files and directories are filtered separately.  For this a slash is
       appended to a directory name before testing whether it matches the
       filter.	Examples:


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

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

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

       Note: vifm uses extended regular expressions.

       za     toggle visibility of dot files.

       zo     show dot files.

       zm     hide dot files.

       zf     add selected files to file name filter.

       zO     show files hidden by file name filter.

       zM     restore all filters.

       zR     remove all filters.

       zr     remove local filter.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       av     go to visual mode into selection amending state preserving
	      current selection.

       gv     go to visual mode restoring last selection.

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

       gu<selector>
	      make names of selected files lowercase.

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

       gU<selector>
	      make names of selected files uppercase.

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

       e      explore file in the current pane.

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

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

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

       cl     change link target.

       co     only for *nix
	      change file owner.

       cg     only for *nix
	      change file group.

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

       [count]C
	      clone file [count] times.

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

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

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

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

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

       al     put symbolic links with absolute paths.

       rl     put symbolic links with relative paths.

       t      select or unselect (tag) the current file.

       u      undo last change.

       Ctrl-R redo last change.

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

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

       v or V enter visual mode, clears current selection.

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

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

       ZQ     same as :quit!.

       ZZ     same as :quit.

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

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

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

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

       }      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.

       [z     go to first sibling of current entry.

       ]z     go to last sibling of current entry.

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

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

Using Count
       You can use count with commands like yy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Registers do not contain one file more than once.

       Example:

	 "a2yy

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

	 "Ad

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

	 p or "ap or "Ap

       inserts previously yanked and deleted files into current directory.

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

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

       a      all files in current view.

       s      selected files.

       S      all files except selected.

       Examples:

	 - dj - delete file under cursor and one below;

	 - d2j - delete file under cursor and two below;

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

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

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

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

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

Visual Mode
       Visual mode has to generic operating submodes:

	 - plain selection as it is in Vim;

	 - selection editing submode.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       gv     restore previous visual selection.

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

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

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

       o      switch active selection bound.

       O      switch active selection bound.

       gu, u  make names of selected files lowercase.

       gU, U  make names of selected files uppercase.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       R      reload view preserving scroll position.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Ctrl-I, Tab
	      complete command or its argument.

       Shift-Tab
	      complete in reverse order.

       Ctrl-_ stop completion and return original input.

       Ctrl-B, Left
	      move cursor to the left.

       Ctrl-F, Right
	      move cursor to the right.

       Ctrl-A, Home
	      go to line beginning.

       Ctrl-E, End
	      go to line end.

       Alt-B  go to the beginning of previous word.

       Alt-F  go to the end of next word.

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

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

       Ctrl-H, Backspace
	      remove character before the cursor.

       Ctrl-D, Delete
	      remove character under the cursor.

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Ctrl-P recall older command-line from history.

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

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

       Ctrl-] trigger abbreviation expansion.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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


       Ctrl-X /
	      last pattern from search history.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       The following keys are handled in this mode:


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

       Backspace, k or Up
	      scroll one line up.


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

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


       Space, f or PageDown
	      scroll down a screen.

       b or PageUp
	      scroll up a screen.


       G      scroll to the bottom.

       g      scroll to the top.


       q, Escape or Ctrl-C
	      quit the mode.

       :      switch to command-line mode.

Commands
       Commands are executed with :command_name<Enter>

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

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

	 :noh[lsearch]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       :[count]

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

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

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

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

       :command [args]

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

       :[range]!command &

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

       Programs that write to stdout like "ls" create an error message showing
       partial output of the command.

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

       Accepts macros.

						:!!

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

       :!!    repeat the last command.

						:alink

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

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

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

						:apropos

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

						:autocmd

       :au[tocmd] {event} {pat} {cmd}
	      register autocommand for the {event}, which can be:
		- DirEnter - performed on entering a directory
	      Event name is case insensitive.

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

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

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

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

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

       :apropos
	      repeat last :apropos command.

						:bmark

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

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

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

						:bmarks

       :bmarks
	      display all bookmarks in a menu.

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

						:bmgo

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

						:cabbrev

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

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

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

						:cnoreabbrev

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

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

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

						:cd

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

       :cd -  go to the last visited directory.

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

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

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

						:change

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

						:chmod

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

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

						:chown

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

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

						:clone

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

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

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

						:colorscheme

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

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

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

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

						:comclear

       :comc[lear]
	      remove all user defined commands.

						:command

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

						:compare

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

						:copen

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

						:copy

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

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

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

						:cquit

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

						:cunabbrev

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

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

						:delbmarks

       :delbmarks
	      remove bookmarks from current directory.

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

       :delbmarks!
	      remove all bookmarks.

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

						:delcommand

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

						:delete

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

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

						:delmarks

       :delm[arks]!
	      delete all marks.

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

						:display

       :di[splay]
	      display menu with registers content.

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

						:dirs

       :dirs  display directory stack.

						:echo

       :ec[ho] [<expr>...]
	      evaluate each argument as an expression and output them
	      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.

       :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.  See also "Automatic FUSE mounts" section below.
	      Example for zip archives and several actions:

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

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

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

						:filextype

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

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

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

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

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

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

	      1. lynx
	      2. links

	      Just as if all :filextype commands were not there.

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

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

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

						:fileviewer

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

	      Example for zip archives:

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

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

						:filter

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

	      Example:

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


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

	      Example:

		:filter //I


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

       :filter!
	      same as :invert.

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

						:find

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

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

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

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

						:finish

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

						:goto

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

						:grep

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

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

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

						:help

       :h[elp]
	      show the help file.

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

						:highlight

       :hi[ghlight]
	      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/ )
	      removes specified rule.

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

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

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

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

       Available group-name values:
	- Win - color of all windows (views, dialogs, menus) and default color
       for their content (e.g. regular files in views)
	- AuxWin - color of auxiliary areas of windows
	- Border - color of vertical parts of the border
	- TabLine - tab line color
	- TabLineSel - color of the tip of selected tab
	- TopLineSel - top line color of the current pane
	- TopLine - top line color of the other pane
	- CmdLine - the command line/status bar color
	- ErrorMsg - color of error messages in the status bar
	- StatusLine - color of the line above the status bar
	- JobLine - color of job line that appears above the status line
	- WildMenu - color of the wild menu items
	- SuggestBox - color of key suggestion box
	- CurrLine - line at cursor position in active view
	- OtherLine - line at cursor position in inactive view
	- Selected - color of selected files
	- Directory - color of directories
	- Link - color of symbolic links in the views
	- BrokenLink - color of broken symbolic links
	- Socket - color of sockets
	- Device - color of block and character devices
	- Executable - color of executable files
	- Fifo - color of fifo pipes
	- CmpMismatch - color of mismatched files in side-by-side comparison
       by path
	- User1..User9 - 9 colors which can be used via %* 'statusline' macro

       Available colors:
	- -1 or default or none - default or transparent
	- black   and lightblack
	- red	  and lightred
	- green   and lightgreen
	- yellow  and lightyellow
	- blue	  and lightblue
	- magenta and lightmagenta
	- cyan	  and lightcyan
	- white   and lightwhite
	- 0-255 - corresponding colors from 256-color palette

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

						:history

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

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

						:histnext

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

						:histprev

       :histprev
	      same as <c-o>.

						:if

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

	      Example:

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

						:invert

       :invert [f]
	      invert file name filter.

       :invert? [f]
	      show current filter state.

       :invert s
	      invert selection.

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

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

						:jobs

       :jobs  shows menu of current backgrounded processes.

						:let

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

						:locate

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

       :locate
	      repeats last :locate command.

						:ls

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

						:lstrash

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

						:mark

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

						:marks

       :marks create a pop-up menu of marks.

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

						:media

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

						:messages

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

						:mkdir

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

						:move

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

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

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

						: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.

						:popd

       :popd  remove pane directories from stack.

						:pushd

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

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

						:put

       :[line]pu[t][!] [reg] [ &]
	      puts files from specified register (" by default) into current
	      directory.  The [line] can be used to pick node in a tree-view.
	      "!" moves files "!" moves files from their original location
	      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 changes and checking for active
	      backgrounded commands).

						:redraw

       :redr[aw]
	      redraw the screen immediately.

						:registers

       :reg[isters]
	      display menu with registers content.

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

						:regular

       :regular

       switch to regular view leaving custom view.
						       :rename

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

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

						:restart

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

						:restore

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

						: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.

						: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.

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

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

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

						:setglobal

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

       :setg[lobal] all
	      display all global options.

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

						:setlocal

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

       :setl[ocal] all
	      display all local options.

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

						:shell

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


						:siblnext

       :[count]siblnext[!]

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

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

		  bin/
		  boot/
		  dev/
		  ...

	      Issuing :siblnext will navigate to /dev.


						:siblprev

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

						:sort

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

						:source

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

						:split

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

       :sp[lit]!
	      toggle horizontal window splitting.

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

						:substitute

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

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

       Pattern is stored in search history.

       Available flags:

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

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

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

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

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

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

						:sync

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

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


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

		- location - current directory of the pane;

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

		- localopts - all local options;

		- filters - all filters;

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

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

		- all - all of the above.

						:tabclose

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

						:tabmove

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

						:tabname

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

						:tabnew

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

						:tabnext

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

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

						:tabprevious

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

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

						:touch

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

						:tr

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

						:trashes

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

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

						:tree

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

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

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

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

						:undolist

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

						: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

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

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

						:volumes

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

						:vsplit

       :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 vifminfo file.

						:wq

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

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

	      same as :qall.

						:xit

       :x[it][!]
	      same as :quit.

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

       Examples:

	 :%delete

       would delete all files in the directory.

	 :2,4delete

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

	 :.,$delete

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

	 :3delete4

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

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

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

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

       %a     User arguments.  When user arguments contain macros, they are
	      expanded before preforming substitution of %a.

       %c %"c The current file under the cursor.

       %C %"C The current file under the cursor in the other directory.

       %f %"f All of the selected files.

       %F %"F All of the selected files in the other directory list.

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

       %d %"d Full path to current directory.

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

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

       %m     Show command output in a menu.

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

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

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

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

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

       %S     Show command output in the status bar.

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

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

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

       %i     Completely ignore command output.


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

       The following dimensions and coordinates are in characters:

       %px    x coordinate of top-left corner of preview area.

       %py    y coordinate of top-left corner of preview area.

       %pw    width of preview area.

       %ph    height of preview area.


       Use %% if you need to put a percent sign in your command.

       Note that %m, %M, %s, %S, %i, %u and %U macros are mutually exclusive.
       Only the last one of them on the command will take effect.

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

	 - :p		- full path

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

	 - :~		- relative to the home directory

	 - :.		- relative to current directory

	 - :h		- head of the file name

	 - :t		- tail of the file name

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Rewriting the example command with macros given above with
       backgrounding:

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

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

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

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

       Background operations cannot be undone.

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

       There are two types of operations that can be cancelled:

	 - file system operations;

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

	 - calls of external applications.

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

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

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

       File system operations

       Currently the following commands can be cancelled: :alink, :chmod,
       :chown, :clone, :copy, :delete, :mkdir, :move, :restore, :rlink,
       :touch.	File putting (on p/P key) can be cancelled as well.  It's not
       hard to see that these are mainly long-running operations.

       Cancelling commands when they are repeated for undo/redo operations is
       allowed for convenience, but is not recommended as further undo/redo
       operations might get blocked by side-effects of partially cancelled
       group of operations.

       These commands can't be cancelled: :empty, :rename, :substitute, :tr.

       Mounting with FUSE

       It's not considered to be an error, so only notification on the status
       bar is shown.

       External application calls

       Each of this operations can be cancelled: :apropos, :find, :grep,
       :locate.

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

       There are six possible ways to write a single pattern:

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

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

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

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

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

	 6. undecorated-pattern

       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").

       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}

       Five first 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.

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

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

       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.

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.

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

	 :fileviewer ?.out file %c

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

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

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

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

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


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

	 :filetype *.[!d]/ inspect_dir

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

	 :filetype [0-9].jpg sxiv

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	      Example:

		set cdpath=~

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       'dotdirs'
	      type: set
	      default: nonrootparent
	      Controls displaying of dot directories.  The following values
	      are possible:
	       - rootparent    - show "../" in root directory of file system
	       - nonrootparent - show "../" in non-root directories of file
	      system

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

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

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

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

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

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

		set fillchars=vborder:.

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

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

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

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

	      Starting from Windows Server 2003 a where command is available,
	      one can configure vifm to use it in the following way:

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

	      As the syntax of this command is rather limited, one can't use
	      :find command with selection of more than one item in this case.
	      The command looks for files only completely ignoring
	      directories.

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

		set findprg="find %s %a"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       'mediaprg'
	      type: string
	      default: path to bundled script that supports udevil and udisks
	      {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")
	       - 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 error
	      stream and exit code of `mount` and `unmount` is taken into
	      account to determine whether operation was performed
	      successfully.

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

	      Configures ls-like view.

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


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

       'milleroptions'
	      type: string list
	      default: "lsize:1,csize:1,rsize:1"
	      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

	      *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.

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

		set milleroptions=lsize:1,csize:2


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

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

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

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

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

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

	      Example:

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

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

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

				      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
	       %S  - number of displayed files
	       %=  - separation point between left and right align items
	       %%  - percent sign
	       %[  - designates beginning of an optional block
	       %]  - designates end of an optional block

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

	      Example:

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

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

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

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

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

       '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:
	       - 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).

	      Numbers are rounded from zero.  Trailing zeros are dropped.

	      Example:

		set sizefmt=units:iec,precision:2


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

	      Example for autofs root /mnt/autofs:

		set slowfs+=/mnt/autofs

       'smartcase' 'scs'
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      Overrides the ignorecase option if the search pattern contains
	      at least one upper case character.  Only used when ignorecase
	      option is enabled.  It doesn't affect file filtering.

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

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

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

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

		set sort+=dir

	      or

		set sort=-size,dir

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

		- type key is added at the beginning;

		- default key is added at the end;

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

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

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

       'sortgroups'
	      type: string
	      default: ""
	      scope: local
	      Sets comma-separated list of regular expressions to use for
	      group sorting, double comma is literal comma.  Each expression
	      should contain at least one group or its value will be
	      considered to be always empty.  Only first match of each regular
	      expression is considered.  Groups are considered from right to
	      first similar to 'sort', first group divides list of files into
	      sub-groups, each of which is sorted by the second group and so
	      on.

	      Example:
		set sortgroups=-(done|todo).*
	      this would put files with "-done" in their names above all files
	      with "-todo".

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

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

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

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

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

	      - %A - file attributes (permissions on *nix or properties on
		Windows) %u - user name or uid (if it cannot be resolved)

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

	      - %s - file size in human readable format

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

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

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

	      - %a - amount of free space available at current partition

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

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

	      - %* - resets or applies one of User1..User9 highlight groups;
		reset happens when width field is 0 or not specified, one of
		groups gets picked when width field is in the range from 1 to
		9

	      - all 'rulerformat' macros

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

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

	      Example without colors:

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

	      Example with colors:

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       'title'
	      type: boolean
	      default: true when title can be restored, false otherwise
	      When enabled title of the terminal or terminal multiplexer's
	      window is updated according to current location.

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

       'trashdir'
	      type: string
	      default: on *nix:
		 "%r/.vifm-Trash-%u,$VIFM/Trash,%r/.vifm-Trash"
		 or if $VIFM/Trash doesn't exist
		 "%r/.vifm-Trash-%u,$XDG_DATA_HOME/vifm/Trash,%r/.vifm-Trash"
		       on Windows:
		 "%r/.vifm-Trash,$XDG_DATA_HOME/vifm/Trash"
	      List of trash directory path specifications, separated with
	      commas.  Each list item either defines an absolute path to trash
	      directory or a path relative to a mount point root when list
	      element starts with "%r/".  Value of the option can contain
	      environment variables (of form "$envname"), which will be
	      expanded (prepend $ with a slash to prevent expansion).
	      Environment variables are expanded when the option is set.

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

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

	      Default value tries to use trash directory per mount point and
	      falls back to ~/.vifm/Trash on failure.

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

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

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

       'vicmd'
	      type: string
	      default: "vim"
	      The actual command used to start vi.  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 in X.

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

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

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

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

       'wildstyle'
	      type: enumeration
	      default: bar
	      Picks presentation style of wild menu.  Possible values:
	       - bar   - one-line with left-to-right cursor
	       - popup - multi-line with top-to-bottom cursor

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

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

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

	      To get the latter use the following mapping:

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

	      Also used for abbreviations.

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

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

Mappings
       Map arguments

       LHS of mappings can be preceded by arguments which take the form of
       special sequences:

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

       <wait> In case of builtin mapping causing conflict for a user-defined
	      mapping (e.g., `t` builtin to a partially typed `ta` user-
	      defined mapping), ignore the builtin mapping and wait for input
	      indefinitely as opposed to default behaviour of triggering the
	      builtin mapping after a delay defined by 'timeoutlen'.  Example:

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

       Special sequences

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

       <cr>   Enter key.

       <esc>  Escape key.

       <space>
	      Space key.

       <lt>   Less-than character (<).

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

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

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

       <home> <end>
	      Home/End.

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

       <pageup> <pagedown>
	      PageUp/PageDown.

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

       <insert>
	      Insert key.

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

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

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

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

       <f0> - <f63>
	      Functional keys.

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

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

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

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

	 - <cr> and <c-m>;

	 - <tab> and <c-i>;

	 - <c-h> and <bs>;

	 - etc.

       Most of the time they are defined consistently and don't cause
       surprises, but <c-h> and <bs> are treated differently in different
       environments (although they match each other all the time), that's why
       they correspond to different keys in vifm.  As a consequence, if you
       map <c-h> or <bs> be sure to repeat the mapping with the other one so
       that it works in all environments.  Alternatively, provide your mapping
       in one form and add one of the following:

	 " if mappings with <c-h> in the LHS work
	 map <c-h> <bs>
	 " if mappings with <bs> in the LHS work
	 map <bs> <c-h>

       Whitespace

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

	 cmap <f1> man<space>

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

Expression syntax

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

       expr1
       -----
       expr2 || expr2

       Arguments are converted to numbers before evaluation.

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

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

       expr2
       -----
       expr3 && expr3

       Arguments are converted to numbers before evaluation.

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

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

       expr3
       -----
       expr4 {cmp} expr4

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

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

       Examples:

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

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

       Examples:

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

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

       Examples:

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

       expr6
       -----

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

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

       A String will be converted to a Number first.

       These operations can be repeated and mixed.  Examples:

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

       expr7
       -----

       number		    number constant
       -----

       Decimal number.	Examples:

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

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

       Note that double quotes are used.

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

       Examples:

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

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

       Note that single quotes are used.

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

       Examples:

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

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

       Examples:

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

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

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

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

       Examples:

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

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

       Information exposed by vifm for use in scripting.

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

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

       See "Functions" section below.

       Examples:

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

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

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


Functions
       USAGE		     RESULT	 DESCRIPTION

       chooseopt({opt})      String	 Queries choose parameters passed on
       startup.
       executable({expr})    Integer	 Checks whether {expr} command
       available.
       expand({expr})	     String	 Expands special keywords in {expr}.
       filetype({fnum} [, {resolve}])
			     String	 Returns file type from position.
       fnameescape({expr})   String	 Escapes {expr} for use in a :command.
       getpanetype()	     String	 Returns type of current pane.
       has({property})	     Integer	 Checks whether instance has
       {property}.
       layoutis({type})      Integer	 Checks whether layout is of type
       {type}.
       paneisat({loc})	     Integer	 Checks whether current pane is at
       {loc}.
       system({command})     String	 Executes shell command and returns
       its output.
       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} just like it's done
       for command-line commands.  Returns a string.  See "Command macros"
       section above.

       Examples:

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

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

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

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

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

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

       fnameescape({expr})

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

       Usage example:

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

       getpanetype()

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

       has({property})

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

       Usage example:

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

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

       layoutis({type})

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

       Usage example:

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

       paneisat({loc})

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

       system({command})

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

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

       Usage example:

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

       tabpagenr([{arg}])

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

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

       term({command})

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

       Usage example:

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

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

       Commands

       :range navigate to a menu line.

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

       :noh[lsearch]
	      reset search match highlighting.

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

       General

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

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

       In all menus

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

       Item states:

       - * - checked flag.

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

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

       Jobs menu

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

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


       Undolist menu

       r - reset undo position to group under the cursor.


       Media menu

       r - reload the list.

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


Custom views
       Definition

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

       Presentation

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

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

       Custom views normally don't contain any inexistent files.

       Navigation

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

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

       h - go to closes parent node in tree view, otherwise return to the
       original directory.

       gh - return to the original directory.

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

       History

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

       Filters

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

       Search

       Although directory names are visible in listing, they are not
       searchable.  Only file names are taken into account (might be changed
       in future, searching whole lines seems quite reasonable).

       Sorting

       Contrary to search sorting by name works on whole visible part of file
       path.

       Highlight

       Whole file name is highlighted as one entity, even if there are
       directory elements.

       Updates

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

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

       Operations

       All operations that add files are forbidden for custom views.  For
       example, moving/copying/putting files into a custom view doesn't work,
       because it doesn't make much sense.

       On the other hand, operations that use files of a custom view as a
       source (e.g. yanking, copying, moving file from custom view, deletion)
       and operations that modify names are all allowed.

Compare views
       Kinds

       :compare can produce four different results depending on arguments:
	- single compare view (ofone and either listall or listdups);
	- single custom view (ofone and listunique);
	- two compare views (ofboth and either listall or listdups);
	- two custom views (ofboth and listunique).

       The first two display files of one file system tree.  Here duplicates
       are files that have at least one copy in the same tree.	The other two
       kinds of operation compare two trees, in which duplicates are files
       that are found in both trees.

       Lists of unique files are presented in custom views because there is no
       file grouping to preserve as all file ids are guaranteed to be
       distinct.

       Creation

       Arguments passed to :compare form four categories each with its own
       prefix and is responsible for particular property of operation.

       Which files to compare:
	- ofboth - compares files of two panes against each other;
	- ofone  - compares files of the same directory.

       How files are compared:
	- byname     - by their name only;
	- bysize     - only by their size;
	- bycontents - by combination of size and hash of file contents.

       Which files to display:
	- listall    - all files;
	- listunique - unique files only;
	- listdups   - only duplicated files.

       How results are grouped (has no effect if "ofone" specified):
	- groupids   - files considered identical are always adjacent in
       output;
	- grouppaths - file system ordering is preferred (this also enables
       displaying identically named files as mismatches).

       Which files to omit:
	- skipempty - ignore empty files.

       Each argument can appear multiple times, the rightmost one of the group
       is considered.  Arguments alter default behaviour instead of
       substituting it.

       Examples

       The defaults corresponds to probably the most common use case of
       comparing files in two trees with grouping by paths, so the following
       are equivalent:

	 :compare
	 :compare bycontents grouppaths
	 :compare bycontents listall ofboth grouppaths

       Another use case is to find duplicates in the current sub-tree:

	 :compare listdups ofone

       The following command lists files that are unique to each pane:

	 :compare listunique

       Look

       The view can't switch to ls-like view as it's unable to display diff-
       like data.

       Comparison views have second column displaying id of the file, files
       with same id are considered to be equal.  The view columns
       configuration is predefined.

       Behaviour

       When two views are being compared against each other the following
       changes to the regular behaviour apply:
	- views are scrolled synchronously (as if 'scrollbind' was set);
	- views' cursors are synchronized;
	- local filtering is disabled (its results wouldn't be meaningful);
	- zd excludes groups of adjacent identical files, 1zd gives usual
       behaviour;
	- sorting is permanently disabled (ordering is fixed);
	- removed files hide their counter pairs;
	- exiting one of the views terminates the other immediately;
	- renaming files isn't blocked, but isn't taken into account and might
       require regeneration of comparison;
	- entries which indicate absence of equivalent file have empty names
       and can be matched as such;
	- when unique files of both views are listed custom views can be
       empty, this absence of unique files is stated clearly.

       One compare view has similar properties (those that are applicable for
       single pane).

       Files are gathered in this way:
	- recursively starting at current location of the view;
	- dot files are excluded if view hides them at the moment of
       comparison;
	- directories are not taken into account;
	- symbolic links to directories are ignored.

Startup
       On startup vifm determines several variables that are used during the
       session.  They are determined in the order they appear below.

       On *nix systems $HOME is normally present and used as is.  On Windows
       systems vifm tries to find correct home directory in the following
       order:
	- $HOME variable;
	- $USERPROFILE variable (on Windows only);
	- a combination of $HOMEDRIVE and $HOMEPATH variables (on Windows
       only).

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

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

Configure
       See "Startup" section above for the explanations on $VIFM and
       $MYVIFMRC.

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

       Use vifmrc to set settings, mappings, filetypes etc.  To use multi line
       commands precede each next line with a slash (whitespace before slash
       is ignored, but all spaces at the end of the lines are saved).  For
       example:

	 set
	     \smartcase

       equals "setsmartcase".  When

	 set<space here>
	     \ smartcase

       equals "set  smartcase".

       The $VIFM/vifminfo file contains session settings.  You may edit it by
       hand to change the settings, but it's not recommended to do that, edit
       vifmrc instead.	You can control what settings will be saved in
       vifminfo by setting 'vifminfo' option.  Vifm always writes this file on
       exit unless 'vifminfo' option is empty.	Marks, bookmarks, commands,
       histories, filetypes, fileviewers and registers in the file are merged
       with vifm configuration (which has bigger priority).

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

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

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

       The $VIFM/scripts directory can contain shell scripts.  vifm modifies
       its PATH environment variable to let user run those scripts without
       specifying full path.  All subdirectories of the $VIFM/scripts will be
       added to PATH too.  Script in a subdirectory overlaps script with the
       same name in all its parent directories.

       The $VIFM/colors/ and {prefix}/etc/vifm/colors/ directories contain
       color schemes.  Available color schemes are searched in that order, so
       on name conflict the one in $VIFM/colors/ wins.

       Each color scheme should have ".vifm" extension.  This wasn't the case
       before and for this reason the following rules apply during lookup:

	 - if there is no file with .vifm extension, all regular files are
	   listed;

	 - otherwise only files with .vifm extension are listed (with the
	   extension being truncated).

Automatic FUSE mounts
       vifm has a builtin support of automated FUSE file system mounts.  It is
       implemented using file associations mechanism.  To enable automated
       mounts, one needs to use a specially formatted program line in filetype
       or filextype commands.  Currently two formats are supported:

       1) FUSE_MOUNT This format should be used in case when all information
       needed for mounting all files of a particular type is the same.	E.g.
       mounting of tar files don't require any file specific options.

       Format line:
	 FUSE_MOUNT|mounter %SOURCE_FILE %DESTINATION_DIR [%FOREGROUND]

       Example filetype command:

	 :filetype FUSE_MOUNT|fuse-zip %SOURCE_FILE %DESTINATION_DIR

       2) FUSE_MOUNT2 This format allows one to use specially formatted files
       to perform mounting and is useful for mounting remotes, for example
       remote file systems over ftp or ssh.

       Format line:
	 FUSE_MOUNT2|mounter %PARAM %DESTINATION_DIR [%FOREGROUND]

       Example filetype command:

	 :filetype FUSE_MOUNT2|sshfs %PARAM %DESTINATION_DIR

       Example file content:

	 root@127.0.0.1:/

       All % macros are expanded by vifm at runtime and have the following
       meaning:
	 - %SOURCE_FILE is replaced by full path to selected file;
	 - %DESTINATION_DIR is replaced by full path to mount directory, which
       is created by vifm basing on the value of 'fusehome' option;
	 - %PARAM value is filled from the first line of file (whole line),
       though in the future it can be changed to whole file content;
	 - %FOREGROUND means that you want to run mount command as a regular
       command (required to be able to provide input for communication with
       mounter in interactive way).

       %FOREGROUND is an optional macro.  Other macros are not mandatory, but
       mount commands likely won't work without them.

       %CLEAR is obsolete name of %FOREGROUND, which is still supported, but
       might be removed in future.  Its use is discouraged.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       By default the view is filled by lines, 'lsoptions' can be used to get
       filling by columns.

       Note that tree-view and compare view inhibit ls-like view.

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

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

       Alignment specifier

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

       Specifies type of text alignment within a column.  Three types are
       supported:

       - left align

	   set viewcolumns=-{name}

       - right align (default)

	   set viewcolumns={name}

       - dynamic align

	 It's like left alignment, but when the text is bigger than the
	 column, the alignment is made at the right (so the part of the field
	 is always visible).

	   set viewcolumns=*{name}

       Width specifier

       It's a number followed by a percent sign, two numbers (second one
       should be less than or equal to the first one) separated with a dot or
       a single number.

       Specifies column width and its units. There are three size types:

       - absolute size - column width is specified in characters

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Column name

       This is just a sort key surrounded with curly braces or {root}, e.g.

	 {name},{ext},{mtime}

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

       Following keys don't have corresponding sorting keys:

	 - {root} - display name without extension (as a complement for {ext})

       Empty curly braces ({}) are replaced with the default secondary column
       for primary sort key. So after the next command view will be displayed
       almost as if 'viewcolumns' is empty, but adding ellipsis for long file
       names:

	 set viewcolumns=-{name}..,6{}.

       Cropping specifier

       It's from one to three dots after closing curly brace in column format.

       Specifies type of text truncation if it doesn't fit in the column.
       Currently three types are supported:

	 - truncation - text is truncated

	     set viewcolumns=-{name}.

	   results in truncation of names that are too long too fit in the
	   view.

	 - adding of ellipsis - ellipsis on the left or right are added when
	   needed

	     set viewcolumns=-{name}..

	   results in that ellipsis are added at the end of too long file
	   names.

	 - none (default) - text can pass column boundaries

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

	   results in that long file names can partially be written on the ext
	   column.

Color schemes
       The color schemes in vifm can be applied in two different ways:

	 - as the primary color scheme;

	 - as local to a pane color scheme.

       Both types are set using :colorscheme command, but of different forms:

	 - :colorscheme color_scheme_name - for the primary color scheme;

	 - :colorscheme color_scheme_name directory - for local color schemes.

       Look of different parts of the TUI (Text User Interface) is determined
       in this way:

	 - Border, TabLine, TabLineSel, TopLineSel, TopLine, CmdLine,
	   ErrorMsg, StatusLine, JobLine, SuggestBox and WildMenu are always
	   determined by the primary color scheme;

	 - CurrLine, Selected, Directory, Link, BrokenLink, Socket, Device,
	   Executable, Fifo, CmpMismatch, Win and AuxWin are determined by
	   primary color scheme and a set of local color schemes, which can be
	   empty.

       There might be a set of local color schemes because they are structured
       hierarchically according to file system structure. For example, having
       the following piece of file system:

	 ~
	 `-- bin
	    |
	    `-- my

       Two color schemes:

	 # ~/.vifm/colors/for_bin
	 highlight Win cterm=none ctermfg=white ctermbg=red
	 highlight CurrLine cterm=none ctermfg=red ctermbg=black

	 # ~/.vifm/colors/for_bin_my
	 highlight CurrLine cterm=none ctermfg=green ctermbg=black

       And these three commands in the vifmrc file:

	 colorscheme Default
	 colorscheme for_bin ~/bin
	 colorscheme for_bin_my ~/bin/my

       File list will look in the following way for each level:

       - ~/ - Default color scheme
	 black background
	 cursor with blue background

       - ~/bin/ - mix of Default and for_bin color schemes
	 red background
	 cursor with black background and red foreground

       - ~/bin/my/ - mix of Default, for_bin and for_bin_my color schemes
	 red background
	 cursor with black background and green foreground

Trash directory
       vifm has support of trash directory, which is used as temporary storage
       for deleted files or files that were cut.  Using trash is controlled by
       the 'trash' option, and exact path to the trash can be set with
       'trashdir' option.  Trash directory in vifm differs from the system-
       wide one by default, because of possible incompatibilities of storing
       deleted files among different file managers.  But one can set
       'trashdir' to "~/.local/share/Trash" to use a "standard" trash
       directory.

       There are two scenarios of using trash in vifm:

	 1. As a place for storing files that were cut by "d" and may be
	    inserted to some other place in file system.

	 2. As a storage of files, that are deleted but not purged yet.

       The first scenario uses deletion ("d") operations to put files to trash
       and put ("p") operations to restore files from trash directory.	Note
       that such operations move files to and from trash directory, which can
       be long term operations in case of different partitions or remote
       drives mounted locally.

       The second scenario uses deletion ("d") operations for moving files to
       trash directory and :empty command-line command to purge all previously
       deleted files.

       Deletion and put operations depend on registers, which can point to
       files in trash directory.  Normally, there are no nonexistent files in
       registers, but vifm doesn't keep track of modifications under trash
       directory, so one shouldn't expect value of registers to be absolutely
       correct if trash directory was modified not by operation that are meant
       for it.	But this won't lead to any issues with operations, since they
       ignore nonexistent files.

Client-Server
       vifm supports remote execution of command-line mode commands, remote
       changing of directories and expression evaluation.  This is possible
       using --remote and --remote-expr command-line arguments.

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

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

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

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

       Evaluating expression remotely might be useful to query information
       about an instance, for example its location:

	 vifm --remote-expr 'expand("%d")'

       If there are several running instances, the target can be specified
       with --server-name option (otherwise, the first one lexicographically
       is used):

	 vifm --server-name work --remote ~/work/project

       List of names of running instances can be obtained via --server-list
       option.	Name of the current one is available via v:servername.


       v:servername
	      server name of the running vifm instance.  Empty if client-
	      server feature is disabled.

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

       Commands:

	 :EditVifm   select a file or files to open in the current buffer.
	 :SplitVifm  split buffer and select a file or files to open.
	 :VsplitVifm vertically split buffer and select a file or files to
       open.
	 :DiffVifm   select a file or files to compare to the current file
       with
		     :vert diffsplit.
	 :TabVifm    select a file or files to open in tabs.

       Each command accepts up to two arguments: left pane directory and right
       pane directory.	After arguments are checked, vifm process is spawned
       in a special "file-picker" mode.  To pick files just open them either
       by pressing l, i or Enter keys, or by running :edit command.  If no
       files are selected, file under the cursor is opened, otherwise whole
       selection is passed to the plugin and opened in vim.

       The plugin have only two settings.  It's a string variable named
       g:vifm_term to let user specify command to run GUI terminal.  By
       default it's equal to 'xterm -e'.  And another string variable named
       g:vifm_exec, which equals "vifm" by default and specifies path to
       vifm's executable.  To pass arguments to vifm use g:vifm_exec_args,
       which is empty by default.

       To use the plugin copy the vifm.vim file to either the system wide
       vim/plugin directory or into ~/.vim/plugin.

       If you would prefer not to use the plugin and it is in the system wide
       plugin directory add

       let loaded_vifm=1

       to your ~/.vimrc file.

Reserved
       The following command names are reserved and shouldn't be used for user
       commands.

	 g[lobal]
	 v[global]

ENVIRONMENT
       VIFM   Points to main configuration directory (usually ~/.vifm/).

       MYVIFMRC
	      Points to main configuration file (usually ~/.vifm/vifmrc).

       These environment variables are valid inside vifm and also can be used
       to configure it by setting some of them before running vifm.

       When $MYVIFMRC isn't set, it's made as $VIFM/vifmrc (exception for
       Windows: vifmrc in the same directory as vifm.exe has higher priority
       than $VIFM/vifmrc).

       See "Startup" section above for more details.

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