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  with-
       out having to learn a new set of commands.

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

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

       <path> Starts Vifm in the specified path.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       --remote
	      Sends  the rest of the command line to another instance of vifm,
	      --server-name is treated just like any other argument and should
	      precede  --remote on the command line.  When there is no server,
	      quits silently.  There is no limit on how many arguments can  be
	      processed.  One can combine --remote with -c <command> or +<com-
	      mand> 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 dou-
	      ble  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.  In addition	to  that  Escape  also	aborts
	      waiting  for  more  input when the current input is insufficient
	      for determining the shortcut.

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

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

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

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

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

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

       gg     move to the first line of the file list.

       G      move to the last line in the file list.

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

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

       H      move to the first file in the window.

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

       L      move to the last file in the window.

       Ctrl-F or Page Down
	      move forward one page.

       Ctrl-B or Page Up
	      move back one page.

       Ctrl-D jump back one half page.

       Ctrl-U jump forward one half page.

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

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

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

       Space  switch file lists.

       gt     switch to the next tab (wrapping around).

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

       gT     switch to the previous tab (wrapping around).

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

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

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

       [count]j
	      move down [count] files.

       [count]k
	      move up [count] files.

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

       [count]h
	      go up [count] directories.

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

       zz     redraw pane with file in center of list.

       zb     redraw pane with file in bottom of list.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


       Ctrl-W h
	      switch to the left pane.

       Ctrl-W j
	      switch to the pane below.

       Ctrl-W k
	      switch to the pane above.

       Ctrl-W l
	      switch to the right pane.


       Ctrl-W b
	      switch to bottom-right window.

       Ctrl-W t
	      switch to top-left window.


       Ctrl-W p
	      switch to previous window.

       Ctrl-W w
	      switch to other pane.


       Ctrl-W o
	      leave only one pane.

       Ctrl-W s
	      split window horizontally.

       Ctrl-W v
	      split window vertically.


       Ctrl-W x
	      exchange panes.

       Ctrl-W z
	      quit preview pane or view modes.


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

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

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

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


       Ctrl-W |
	      set current view size to count.

       Ctrl-W _
	      set current view size to count.

       Ctrl-W =
	      make size of two views equal.

       For Ctrl-W +, Ctrl-W -, Ctrl-W <, Ctrl-W >, Ctrl-W | and Ctrl-W _  com-
       mands  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	direc-
	      tion and advance cursor to next match.

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

       If 'hlsearch' option is set, hitting n/N to perform a search and go  to
       a  matching  item can reset existing selection in normal mode.  It hap-
       pens when there are no prior search results (i.e., no files with  high-
       lighting  of  the matched part), otherwise the selection is left as is.
       Resetting search matches in any way (like running :nohlsearch or press-
       ing  Escape)  will  force the search next time n/N is pressed and cause
       matching files to be selected.

       See also "Regular expressions" section.


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

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

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

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

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

File Filters
       There are three basic file filters:

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

	 - permanent filter;

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

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

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

	 - one edited explicitly via :filter command;

	 - another one which is edited implicitly via zf shortcut.

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


       Each file list has its own copy of each filter.

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

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


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

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

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

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

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


       za     toggle visibility of dot files.

       zo     show dot files.

       zm     hide dot files.

       zf     add selected files to permanent filter.

       zO     reset permanent filter.

       zR     save and reset all filters.

       zr     clear local filter.

       zM     restore all filters (undoes last zR).

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

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

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

       [z     go to first sibling of current entry.

       ]z     go to last sibling of current entry.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       ga     calculate directory size.  Uses cached directory sizes when pos-
	      sible 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, oth-
       erwise only current file is updated.

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

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

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

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

       gv     go into visual mode restoring last selection.

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

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

       gu<selector>
	      make names of selected files lowercase.

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

       gU<selector>
	      make names of selected files uppercase.

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

       e      explore file in the current pane.

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

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

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

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

       co     only for *nix
	      change file owner.

       cg     only for *nix
	      change file group.

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

       [count]C
	      clone file(s) [count] times.

       [reg][count]dd
	      move  files  to trash directory if 'trash' option is set, other-
	      wise delete them permanently.   See  "Trash  directory"  section
	      below.

	      When  "s"  is present in 'cpoptions', operates on selected files
	      or, in the absence of selection, the current one.  When the flag
	      isn't set, always operates on the current file only.

       [reg]d[count]<selector>
	      like dd, but accepts motions/selectors.

       [count]DD or D[count]<selector>
	      like  dd and d<selector>, but always omits trash directory (even
	      when 'trash' option is set).  Affected by  "s"  flag  in	'cpop-
	      tions'.

       [reg][count]Y or [reg][count]yy
	      yank files.

	      When  "s"  is present in 'cpoptions', operates on selected files
	      or, in the absence of selection, the current one.  When the flag
	      isn't set, always operates on the current file only.

       [reg]y[count]<selector>
	      yank files specified by motion/selector.

       [reg]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" and "File copying" sections below.

       [reg]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.

       [reg]al
	      put symbolic links with absolute paths.

       [reg]rl
	      put symbolic links with relative paths.

       t      select or unselect (tag) the current file.

       u      undo last change.

       Ctrl-R redo last change.

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

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

       v or V enter visual mode, clears current selection.

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

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

       ZQ     same as :quit!.

       ZZ     same as :quit.

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

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

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

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

       ]S     same as ]s, but wraps.

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
	      downward.

Registers
       vifm  supports  multiple  registers  to temporary store lists of yanked
       and/or deleted files.

       Registers are specified by pressing double quote key followed by a reg-
       ister  name before typing a command.  Count is specified after a regis-
       ter name.  By default commands use unnamed register, which  has	double
       quote as its name.

       Though  all  commands  accept registers, most commands ignore them (for
       example, H or Ctrl-U).  Other commands  fill  a	register,  append  new
       files to it or use it as a source of list of files.

       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 a named register (a-z and A-Z) is used,
       unnamed register is updated to contain the same list of files.

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

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

       Registers contain each  file  at  most  once.   Nonexistent  files  are
       dropped	from  them.  In particular, registers can be changed on :empty
       command if they include files under trash directory (see "Trash	direc-
       tory" section below).

       Example:

	 "a2yy

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

	 "Add

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

	 p or "ap or "Ap

       inserts previously yanked and deleted files into current directory.

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

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

       a      all files in current view.

       s      selected files.

       S      all files except selected.

       Examples:

	 - dj - delete file under cursor and one below;

	 - d2j - delete file under cursor and two below;

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

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

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

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

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

Visual Mode
       Visual mode has two generic operating submodes:

	 - plain selection as it is in Vim;

	 - selection editing submode.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       gv     restore previous visual selection.

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

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

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

       o      switch active selection bound.

       O      switch active selection bound.

       gu, u  make names of selected files lowercase.

       gU, U  make names of selected files uppercase.

       cl     change target of symbolic link(s).

       cw     same as running :rename command without arguments.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       R      reload view preserving scroll position.

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

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

       A      switch  to  the  previous viewer.  Does nothing for preview con-
	      structed via %q macro.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Ctrl-I, Tab
	      complete	command or its argument on editing of a :command, com-
	      plete file names in file name prompts, move cursor onto the next
	      search  match  in  file  search prompt (including in navigation)
	      when 'incsearch' is set.

       Shift-Tab
	      complete in reverse order or move cursor onto the previous  file
	      search match.

       Ctrl-_ stop completion and restore original input.

       Ctrl-B, Left
	      move cursor to the left.

       Ctrl-F, Right
	      move cursor to the right.

       Ctrl-A, Home
	      go to line beginning.

       Ctrl-E, End
	      go to line end.

       Alt-B  go to the beginning of previous word.

       Alt-F  go to the end of next word.

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

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

       Ctrl-H, Backspace
	      remove character before the cursor.

       Ctrl-D, Delete
	      remove character under the cursor.

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Ctrl-P recall older command-line from history.

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

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

       Ctrl-] trigger abbreviation expansion.

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

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

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

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

	   nnoremap / /<c-y>


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

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

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

       Ctrl-O, Left
	      go to parent directory.

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

       Ctrl-N, Down
	      move view cursor down.

       Ctrl-P, Up
	      move view cursor up.

       Page Down
	      scroll view down.

       Page Up
	      scroll view up.

       Home   move view cursor to the first item.

       End    move view cursor to the last item.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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


       Ctrl-X /
	      last pattern from search history.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 com-
       ment.  Not all commands support inline comments as it's not always pos-
       sible to identify one unambiguously:

	 - the syntax conflicts with names of registers

	 - the syntax conflicts with quoting arguments to commands

	 - mapping/abbreviation  commands  can	expand	to arbitrary sequences
	   which can look like a comment without being one

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

	 :noh[lsearch]

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

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

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

	 - :view command;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       :[count]

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

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

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

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

       :command [args]

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

       :[range]!command &

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

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

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

       Accepts macros.

						:!!

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

       :!!    repeat the last command.

						:alink

       :[range]alink[!?]
	      create absolute symbolic links to files in directory of inactive
	      view.  With "?"  prompts for destination file names in  an  edi-
	      tor.  "!" 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  argu-
	      ment list.

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

						:apropos

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

						:autocmd

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

	      {pat}  is  a  comma-separated  list  of modified globs patterns,
	      which can contain tilde or environment variables.  All paths use
	      slash  ('/') as directory separator.  The pattern can start with
	      a '!', which negates it.	Patterns that do not  contain  slashes
	      are  matched  against the last item of the path only (e.g. "dir"
	      in "/path/dir").	Literal comma can be entered by  doubling  it.
	      Two modifications to globs matching are as follows:
		-  *  - never matches a slash (i.e., can signify single direc-
	      tory level)
		- ** - matches any character (i.e., can match  path  of  arbi-
	      trary 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  combina-
	      tion.
	      {event}  and  {pat} can be omitted to list all autocommands.  To
	      list any autocommands for specific pattern one can use *	place-
	      holder 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 bookmark-
	      ing files.

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

						:bmarks

       :bmarks
	      display all bookmarks in a menu.

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

						:bmgo

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

						:cabbrev

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

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

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

						:call

       :cal[l] {function}([{expr1}, ...])
	      invoke a {function} discarding its return value.
	      Unlike in Vim, a call expression followed by trailing characters
	      is not invoked.

						:chistory

       :chi[story]
	      display  menu  of  saved menus.  See "Menus and dialogs" section
	      for controls, also see "Menus history" section.

						:cnoreabbrev

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

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

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

						:cd

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

       :cd -  go to the last visited directory.

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

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

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

						:cds

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

       Available flags:

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

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

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

						:change

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

						:chmod

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

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

						:chown

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

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

						:clone

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

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

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

						:colorscheme

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

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

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

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

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

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

						:comclear

       :comc[lear]
	      remove all user defined commands.

						:command

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

						:compare

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

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

						:copen

       :cope[n]
	      reopens  the  last  visible menu that has navigation to files by
	      default, if any.	See also "Menus history" section.

						:copy

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

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

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

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

       Also see "File copying" section below.

						:cquit

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

						:cunabbrev

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

       :cuna[bbrev] rhs

	      display menu with registers content.

       :di[splay] list ...
	      display the contents of the numbered and	named  registers  that

	      directories (see "Trash directory" section below).  Trash direc-
	      tories  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

	      same as :quit.

						:file

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

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

						:filetype

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

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

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

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

						:filextype

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

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

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

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

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

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

	      1. lynx
	      2. links

	      Just as if all :filextype commands were not there.

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

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

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

						:fileviewer

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

	      Example for zip archives:

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

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

						:filter

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

	      Example:

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


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

	      Example:

		:filter //I


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

       :filter!
	      same as :invert.

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

						:find

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

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

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

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

						:finish

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

						:goto

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

						:grep

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

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

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

						:help

       :h[elp]
	      show the help file.

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

						:hideui

       :hideui
	      hide interface to show previous commands' output.

						:highlight

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

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

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

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

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

       Group names, style values and color names are case  insensitive.   Note
       that  this  doesn't include column names as that would make builtin and
       custom columns indistinguishable.

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

       Column names match names of  columns  of  |vifm-'viewcolumns'|  option,
       which  in  turn are based on values of |vifm-'sort'| and custom columns
       added from Lua.	Regardless of the source,  columns  are  specified  as
       "column:{name}", for example:

	 highlight column:fileext ctermfg=red

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Here is the hierarchy of highlight groups, which you need to  know  for
       using transparency:
	 JobLine
	 SuggestBox
	 StatusLine
	   WildBox
	     WildMenu
	   User1..User20
	 Border
	 CmdLine
	   ErrorMsg
	 Win
	   OtherWin
	     AuxWin
	       OddLine

	     User1..User20

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

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

						:history

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

       :his[tory] x
	      x can be:
		d[ir]	  or . show directory history.
		c[md]	  or : show command line history.
		s[earch]  or / show search history and	search	forward  on  l
	      key.
		f[search]  or  /  show	search history and search forward on l
	      key.
		b[search] or ? show search history and search  backward  on  l
	      key.
		i[nput]    or  @  show prompt history (e.g. on one file renam-
	      ing).
		fi[lter]  or = show local filter history (see  description  of
	      the "=" normal mode command).
		e[xprreg]	show expression register history (see descrip-
	      tion of Ctrl+R = in command-line mode).
		mc[md]	       show command-line history of menus.
	      See "Menus and dialogs" section for controls.

						:histnext

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

						:histprev

       :histprev
	      same as <c-o>.

						:if

       :if {expr1}
	      start conditional  block.   Commands  are  executed  until  next
	      matching	:elseif,  :else or :endif command if {expr1} evaluates
	      to non-zero, otherwise they are ignored.	An error during evalu-
	      ation  of {expr1} results in not taking any conditional branches
	      (not even an else-branch).  See also help on  :else  and	:endif
	      commands.

	      Example:

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

						:invert

       :invert [f]
	      invert file name filter.

       :invert? [f]
	      show current filter state.

       :invert s
	      invert selection.

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

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

						:jobs

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

						:keepsel

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

	      Example:

		:keepsel view

						:let

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

						:locate

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

       :locate
	      repeat last :locate command.

						:ls

       :ls    lists windows of active terminal multiplexer (only when terminal
	      multiplexer is used).  This is achieved by issuing  proper  com-
	      mand  for active terminal multiplexer, thus the list is not han-
	      dled by vifm.

						:lstrash

       :lstrash
	      display a menu with list of files in trash.  Each element of the
	      list  is original path of a deleted file, thus the list can con-
	      tain duplicates.	See "Menus and dialogs" section for  controls.

						:mark

       :[range]ma[rk][?] x [/full/dir/path [filename]]
	      set  mark  x  (a-zA-Z0-9)  at  /full/dir/path  and filename.  By
	      default current file in current directory is used.  If no  file-
	      name was given and /full/dir/path is current directory, then the
	      last file of the [range] is used.  Question mark stops the  com-
	      mand  from overwriting an existing mark.	Macros and environment
	      variables are expanded.

						:marks

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

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

						:media

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

						:messages

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

						:mkdir

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

						:move

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

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

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

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

						:nohlsearch

       :noh[lsearch]
	      clear selection in current pane.

						:normal

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

						:only

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

						:open

       :[range]o[pen]
	      open current file, selection or files in the range as  if  Enter
	      was pressed.

						:plugin

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


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

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

						:plugins

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

						:popd

       :popd  remove pane directories from stack.

						:pushd

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

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

						:put

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

						:pwd

       :pw[d] show the present working directory.

						:qall

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

						:quit

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

						:redraw

       :redr[aw]
	      redraw the screen immediately.

						:regedit

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

						:registers

       :reg[isters]
	      display menu with registers content.

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

						:regular

       :regular

       switch to regular view leaving custom view.
						       :rename

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

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

						:restart

       :restart
	      free  a lot of things (histories, commands, etc.), reread
	      vifminfo, vifmrc and session files and run  startup  com-
	      mands  passed  in  the  argument	list,  thus  losing all
	      unsaved changes (e.g. recent history or keys mapped after
	      starting	this instance).  Session that wasn't yet stored
	      gets reset.

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

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

						:restore

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

						:rlink

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

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

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

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

						:screen

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

       :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  con-
	      verted to absolute ones beforehand.

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

						:session

       :session?
	      print name of the current session.

       :session
	      detach current session without saving it.  Resets  v:ses-
	      sion.

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

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

						:set

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

       :se[t] all
	      display all options.

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

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

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

						:setglobal

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

       :setg[lobal] all
	      display all global options.

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

						:setlocal

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

       :setl[ocal] all
	      display all local options.

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

						:shell

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


						:siblnext

       :[count]siblnext[!]

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

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

		  bin/
		  boot/
		  dev/
		  ...

	      Issuing :siblnext will navigate to /dev.


						:siblprev

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

						:sort

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

						:source

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

						:split

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

       :sp[lit]!
	      toggle horizontal window splitting.

       :sp[lit] path
	      splits the window horizontally to show both file directo-
	      ries.  Also changes other pane to path (absolute or rela-
	      tive to current directory of active pane).

						:stop

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

						:substitute

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

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

       Pattern is stored in search history.

       Available flags:

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

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

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

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

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

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

						:sync

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

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


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

		- location - current directory of the pane;

		- cursorpos - cursor position (doesn't make sense with-
		  out "location");

		- localopts - all local options;

		- filters - all filters;

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

		- tree - tree structure for tree view  (implies  "loca-
		  tion");

		- all - all of the above.

						:tabclose

       :tabc[lose]
	      close  current tab, unless it's the only one open at cur-
	      rent 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.   Argu-
	      ment of `0` moves current tab to the first position.

						:tabname

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

						:tabnew

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

						:tabnext

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

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

						:tabonly

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

						:tabprevious

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

       :tabp[revious] {n}
	      go  to  the {n}-th previous tab.	Note that :tabnext han-
	      dles 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 direc-
	      tories 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 represen-
	      tations, so values of 'lsview' and  'millerview'	options
	      are ignored.

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

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

						:undolist

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

						:unlet

       :unl[et][!] {var}...
	      remove   one  or	more  environment  (`$VAR`)  or  global
	      (`g:global`) variables.  Use "!" to omit displaying warn-
	      ings 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 com-
	      mand.  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 (preview of file's
	      contents).  See also 'quickview' option.

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

						:volumes

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

						:vsplit

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

       :vs[plit]!
	      toggle window vertical splitting.

       :vs[plit] path
	      split the window vertically to show  both  file  directo-
	      ries.   And changes other pane to path (absolute or rela-
	      tive 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	%  com-
	      mand).

						:wingo

       :wingo {id} [{substr}]
	      navigate	to  a view by its id number.  The {substr} part
	      is used for completion (can be any number of words,  only
	      leading whitespace is removed).  The view will become the
	      current one by switching to  the	corresponding  tab  and
	      pane.   Matching	is  case  sensitive substring search in
	      view title or its full current path  (with  `~`  expanded
	      regardless of any settings).

       :wingo {substr}
	      this form navigates to a view that is uniquely identified
	      by {substr} or errors.  The form will not be used if  the
	      first word of {substr} is a valid number that starts with
	      a digit (i.e., no `+` or `-` in front).

						:winrun

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

						:write

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

						:wq

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

       :wqa[ll][!]
	      same  as	:qall,	but  ! disables only the check of back-
	      grounded commands, while	state  of  the	application  is
	      always written.

						:xall

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


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

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

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

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

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

       %f %"f All of the selected files or the current	file,  but  see
	      "Selection" section below.

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

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

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

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

       %d %"d Full path to current directory.

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

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

       %m     Show command output in a menu.

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

       %u     Process command output as list of paths and compose  cus-
	      tom view out of it.

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

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

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

       %S     Show command output in the status bar.

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

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

       %v     Same as %s, but splits vertically.

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

       %N     Do   not	detach	viewer	from  terminal	session  (keeps
	      `/dev/tty` available) or process group (keeps the command
	      in  the set of foreground clients of the terminal).  This
	      flag is a workaround for	rare  commands/terminals  which
	      might need a working TTY for :fileviewer command to oper-
	      ate correctly and has no effect otherwise.

       %i     Run in background and suppress error dialogs, but collect
	      errors internally for viewing via :jobs menu.  This macro
	      doesn't  detach  the  command   from   terminal	session
	      (`/dev/tty`)  on	its  own, add " &" to leave the command
	      without access to the terminal.

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

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

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

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

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

       The following dimensions and coordinates are in characters:

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

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

       %pw    width of preview area.

       %ph    height of preview area.


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

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

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

       Note  that  a  previewer  containing  %pd  is considered a pass-
       through previewer, otherwise a previewer containing both %px and
       %py  is	considered  to	be  a graphical previewer, the rest are
       treated as text previewers.

       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  com-
	   puter 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 exten-
	   sion)

	 - :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	charac-
       ters  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 relative paths, while %C and %F
       are always expanded to full paths.  The same applies to	%f  and
       %F implicitly used by %b.

       :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 direc-
	      tory.

       :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 back-
       grounding:

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

Command backgrounding
       File  system  operations  can  take  a  lot  of time to proceed.
       That's why vifm supports  backgrounding	them.	To  run  :copy,
       :move or :delete command in background just append " &" to it.

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

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

       Background operations cannot be undone.

       See "File copying" section below.

Cancellation
       Note that cancellation works somewhat different on Windows plat-
       form  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  a set of operations is cancelled (e.g. copying of
       5th file of 10 files), further operations are cancelled too.  In
       this  case  undo  history  will	contain only actually performed
       operations.

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

       File system operations

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

       Cancelling  commands when they are repeated for undo/redo opera-
       tions is allowed for convenience, but is not recommended as fur-
       ther  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 a notification on
       the status bar is shown.

       External application calls

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

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

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

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


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


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


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


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

Patterns
       :highlight,  :filetype,	:filextype,  :fileviewer  commands  and
       'classify'  option  support  globs, regular expressions and mime
       types to match file names or their paths.  Directory  paths  get
       an  implicit  trailing slash on matching against a pattern, keep
       that in mind for globs or regular expressions that end with `$`.

       There are six possible ways to write a single pattern:

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

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

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

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

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

	 6. undecorated-pattern

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

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

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

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

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

       Patterns with regular expressions

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

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

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

       Patterns with globs

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

       Patterns with mime-types

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

       Examples

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

       `*`, `?`, `[` and `]` are treated as special symbols in the pat-
       tern.  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  sub-
       string),  with  one exception: asterisk at the pattern beginning
       doesn't match dot in the first position.  E.g.

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

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

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

	 :fileviewer ?.out file %c

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

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

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

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

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


       Inside  square  brackets `^` or `!` can be used for symbol class
       negation 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 directo-
       ries 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 con-
       tain single digit in their name.

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

       'autochpos'
	      type: boolean
	      default: true
	      When  disabled  vifm will set cursor to the first line in
	      the view after :cd and :pushd commands instead  of  saved
	      cursor  position.   Disabling  this  will  also make vifm
	      clear information about cursor position in the view  his-
	      tory  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 navigat-
	      ing 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 sensitiv-
	      ity 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  let-
	      ters 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 direc-
	      tory 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  (mind  that directory names have an
	      implicit trailing slash).  The format is either of:
		- [{prefix}]:{filetype}:[{suffix}]
		- [{prefix}]::{pattern}::[{suffix}]
	      Possible {pattern} forms are described in "Patterns" sec-
	      tion 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 {suf-
	      fix}  should  consist  of at most eight characters.  Ele-
	      ments are separated by commas.  Neither prefixes nor suf-
	      fixes  are  part of file names, so they don't affect com-
	      mands 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  file-
	      type() 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  :fil-
	      ter!  in	inverted (matching files are left) filter, when
	      omitted, meaning of the exclamation mark changes	to  the
	      opposite;
	       -  s  - when included, yy, Y, dd and DD normal mode com-
	      mands act on selection if there is  any,	otherwise  they
	      operate on the current file; when omitted, those commands
	      always operate on the current file;
	       - 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  directo-
	      ries:
	       - 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, other-
	      wise this command is invoked on each  file  by  appending
	      its name.  If the command doesn't remove files, they will
	      remain on the file system.

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

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

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

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

       'dotfiles'
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      Whether  dot  files  are	shown in the view.  Can be con-
	      trolled 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
		hborder:c    '' 	middle horizontal border
		millersep:c  '' 	separator of miller columns
		vborder:c    ' '	left, middle and right vertical
	      borders

	      An empty string for millersep or vborder is equivalent to
	      a space.

	      An empty string for hborder omits the horizontal	border.

	      Example:

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

       'findprg'
	      type: string
	      default: "find %s %a"
	      Specifies format for an external command to be invoked by
	      the :find command.   The	format	supports  expansion  of
	      macros   specific  for  this  particular	option	and  %%
	      sequence	for  inserting	percent  sign  literally.   The
	      macros are:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

		  set findprg="find %s %a"


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

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

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

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

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

       vifm-'hloptions'
	      type: string list
	      default: "filehi:onerow"
	      Configures behaviour of highlighting.

		item	    default
		filehi:str  onerow

	      The "filehi" item specifies which columns of the view get
	      colored according to file type and its name:
	       - path	 - highlight columns that  display  file  path,
	      name, root or extension
	       -  onerow   - same as "path" and also highlight all col-
	      umns of the current line
	       - allrows - highlight all columns of each row

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

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

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

       '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 posi-
	      tion each time search pattern is changed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	      Configures ls-like view.

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


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

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

	      Configures miller view.

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

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

	      rpreview	specifies  what  file-system  objects should be
	      previewed in the right column  and  takes  three	values:
	      dirs (only directories), files (only files) or all.  Nei-
	      ther value enables preview of parent directory ("..").

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

		set milleroptions=lsize:1,csize:2


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

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

       'mouse'
	      type: charset
	      default: ""

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

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

	      Configures behaviour of navigation mode.

		item	  default
		open:str  dirs

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	      Example:

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

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

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

				      nonumber		     number

		  norelativenumber   | first		    |	1 first
				     |	second		     |	 2 sec-
	      ond
				     | third		    |	3 third

		    relativenumber   |	 1 first	    |	1 first
				     |	 0 second	    |2	   sec-
	      ond
				     |	 1 third	    |	1 third


       'rulerformat' 'ruf'
	      type: string
	      default: "%l/%S "
	      Determines the content of the ruler.  Its  minimal  width
	      is  13  characters  and  it's  right  aligned.  Following
	      macros are supported:
	       %=  - separation point between left  and  right	aligned
	      halves of the line
	       %l  - file number
	       %L   - total number of files in view (including filtered
	      out ones)
	       %x  - number of files excluded by filters
	       %0- - old name for %x macro
	       %P  - percentage through file list  (All,  Top,	xx%  or
	      Bot), always 3 in length
	       %S  - number of displayed files
	       %=   -  separation  point  between  left and right align
	      items
	       %%  - literal percent sign
	       %[  - designates beginning of an optional block
	       %]  - designates end of an optional block

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

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

	      Example:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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


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

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

	      Numbers are rounded from zero.  Trailing zeros are
	      dropped.

	      Example:

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


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

	      Example for autofs root /mnt/autofs:

		set slowfs+=/mnt/autofs

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

       'sort' type: string list
	      default: +name on *nix and +iname on Windows
	      scope: local
	      Sets list of sorting keys (first item  is  primary
	      key, second is secondary key, etc.):
		 [+-]ext      -  extension of files and directo-
	      ries
		 [+-]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, exe-
	      cuted)
		 [+-]ctime   - time changed  (changes  in  meta-
	      data, like mode)
		 [+-]mtime   - time modified (when file contents
	      is changed)

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

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

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

		set sort+=dir

	      or

		set sort=-size,dir

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

		- type key is added at the beginning;

		- default key is added at the end;

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

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

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

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

	      The regular expressions are used to  extract  sub-
	      strings  of  file names to serve as keys for sort-
	      ing.  It is essentially a way to	ignore	uninter-
	      esting parts of file names during sorting by name.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	      - %T - symbolic link target (empty for other file-
		types)

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

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

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

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

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

	      - %s - file size in human readable format

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

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

	      - %D - path of the other pane for single-pane lay-
		out

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

	      - %c - size of current FS

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

	      - %{<expr>}  -  evaluate arbitrary vifm expression
		'<expr>', e.g. '&sort' or `expand('%d')`; a  raw
		`}` can be inserted as `\}` (mind that the slash
		doesn't need to be doubled to be inserted liter-
		ally)

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

	      - all 'rulerformat' macros

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

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

	      Example without colors:

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

	      Example with colors:

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


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

       'syncregs'
	      type: string
	      default: ""
	      Specifies identifier of group  of  instances  that
	      share  registers	among  each other.  When several
	      instances of vifm have this option set to  identi-
	      cal 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 applica-
	      tions to perform file-system operations, otherwise
	      system calls are used  instead  (much  faster  and
	      supports	progress  tracking).   The option should
	      eventually be removed.  Mostly  *nix-like  systems
	      are affected.

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

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

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

	      - %C	 - flag of a current tab

	      - %N	 - number of the tab

	      - %T	 - flag of a tree mode

	      - %c	 - description of a custom view

	      - %n	 - name of the tab

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

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

	      - %%	 - literal percent sign

	      - %[	  -  designates beginning of an optional
		block

	      - %]	 - designates end of an optional block

	      - %*, %0*  - resets highlighting

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

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

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

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

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

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

	      The following macros can appear in the format:

	      - %*, %0*  - resets highlighting

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       'trash'
	      type: boolean
	      default: true
	      Use trash directory.  See "Trash	directory"  sec-
	      tion below.

       'trashdir'
	      type: string
	      default:
		on *nix:
		  "%r/.vifm-
	      Trash-%u,$XDG_DATA_HOME/vifm/Trash,%r/.vifm-Trash"
		  or
		  "%r/.vifm-Trash-%u,$VIFM/Trash,%r/.vifm-Trash"
		on Windows:
		  "%r/.vifm-Trash,$XDG_DATA_HOME/vifm/Trash"
		  or
		  "%r/.vifm-Trash,$VIFM/vifm/Trash"
	      List of trash directory path specifications, sepa-
	      rated  with commas.  Each list item either defines
	      an absolute path to trash directory or a path rel-
	      ative  to  a  mount  point  root when list element
	      starts with "%r/".  Value of the option  can  con-
	      tain  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 owner is able to use it.
	      Note that even this setup is not completely secure
	      when combined with "%r/" and it's overall safer to
	      keep files in home  directory,  but  that  implies
	      cost of copying files between partitions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

       'uioptions'
	      type: set
	      default:
	      Tweaks UI behaviour.   The  following  values  are
	      available:
	       -  iodetails  -	show I/O progress details dialog
	      automatically instead of	displaying  progress  on
	      statusbar  until	user presses "i" to see the dia-
	      log.

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

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

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

	      Additionally `+{num}` and `+'call cursor()'` argu-
	      ments 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		   view-
	      columns=-{name}..,6{size},11{perms}

       'vixcmd'
	      type: string
	      default: value of 'vicmd'
	      Same as 'vicmd', but takes precedence over it when
	      running inside a graphical environment.

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

		 bmarks     -  named  bookmarks (see :bmark com-
	      mand)
		 bookmarks - marks, except for special ones like
	      '< and '>
		 cs	   - primary color scheme
		 dirstack   - directory stack (overwrites previ-
	      ous stack, unless stack of
			     current instance is empty)
		 registers - registers content
		 savedirs  - last visited directory
		 state	   - file name and dot filters and  ter-
	      minal multiplexers integration
			     state
		 tabs	   - global or pane tabs

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

       'wildinc'
	      type: string
	      default: ""
	      A comma-separated list of globs which defines what
	      should be completed incrementally.  Currently,  it
	      can  only  be :commands which are matched with the
	      colon in front of their name.  For  such	commands
	      completion  is always active and is displayed even
	      if there is only one completion item.  Examples:

		" for all :commands
		set wildinc=:*
		" only for these two
		set wildinc=:wingo,:bmgo

	      See  "Patterns"  and  "Globs"  sections  for  more
	      information on syntax.

       '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: charac-
	      ter representing itself or number encoding charac-
	      ter  according to ASCII table.  In case of ambigu-
	      ous characters (dash, comma,  digit)  use  numeric
	      form.  Accepted characters are in the range from 0
	      to 255.  Any Unicode character with  code  greater
	      than 255 is considered to be part of a word.

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

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

	      To get the latter use the following mapping:

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

	      Also used for abbreviations.

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

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

Mappings
       A  user mapping like `nnoremap lhs rhs` defines a substi-
       tution of the left-hand-side (LHS) with	the  right-hand-
       side (RHS) in the input stream.	A regular mapping (with-
       out  "nore"  in	:command's  name)   expands   recognized
       sequences  in  the  RHS,  while "*noremap" mapping always
       interprets RHS as if no user mappings  were  defined  and
       each key has its builtin meaning.  In most cases you want
       to use noremap variant and if your RHS includes LHS, only
       noremap	variant will work because recursion in a mapping
       is not allowed.

       In order to define a mapping determine in which mode  you
       want  to  activate  it  and use an appropriate "*noremap"
       :command (e.g., :nnoremap for  a  normal  mode  mapping).
       RHS doesn't have to limit itself to the mode in which the
       mapping was started and can span multiple modes.

       Map arguments

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

       <silent>
	      Postpone	UI  updates until RHS is completely pro-
	      cessed.

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

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


       Special sequences

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

       <cr>   Enter key.

       <esc>  Escape key.

       <space>
	      Space key.

       <lt>   Less-than character (<).

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

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

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

       <home> <end>
	      Home/End.

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

       <pageup> <pagedown>
	      PageUp/PageDown.

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

       <insert>
	      Insert key.

       <s-home> <s-end>
       <s-left> <s-right> <s-up> <s-down>
       <s-pageup> <s-pagedown>
       <s-delete> <s-insert>
	       Shift  +  one of the keys from above, if terminal
	       and its terminfo supports it.

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

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

       <a-a>,<a-b>,...,<a-z>
       <m-a>,<m-b>,...,<m-z>
       <a-0>,<a-1>,...,<a-9> {only for *nix}
       <m-0>,<m-1>,...,<m-9> {only for *nix}
	       Alt + some key.

       <a-s-a>,<a-s-b>,...,<a-s-z> {only for *nix}
       <s-a-a>,<s-a-b>,...,<s-a-z> {only for *nix}
       <m-s-a>,<m-s-b>,...,<m-s-z> {only for *nix}
       <s-m-a>,<s-m-b>,...,<s-m-z> {only for *nix}
	       Alt + Shift + some key.

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

       <f0> - <f63>
	      functional  keys.   These  also correspond to keys
	      like <c-f1> and can be used in their place.

       <c-f1> - <c-f12>
	      functional keys with Control key pressed.

       <a-f1> - <a-f12>, <m-f1> - <m-f12>
	      functional keys with Alt key pressed.

       <s-f1> - <s-f12>
	      functional keys with Shift key pressed.

       Note that whether and  how  functional  keys  work  might
       depend on the terminal and corresponding terminfo record.

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

	 - <cr> and <c-m>;

	 - <tab> and <c-i>;

	 - <c-h> and <bs> and <del>;

	 - etc.

       Most of the time they are defined consistently and  don't
       cause  surprises,  but <c-h> and <bs> are treated differ-
       ently in different environments (although they match each
       other  all  the time), that's why they correspond to dif-
       ferent 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 fol-
       lowing:

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

       Also sometimes neither of them might work and it's  <del>
       key  which  corresponds to your backspace (don't mind the
       name).

       Whitespace

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

	 cmap <f1> man<space>

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

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

       expr1
       -----
       expr2 || expr2

       Arguments are converted to numbers before evaluation.

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

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

       expr2
       -----
       expr3 && expr3

       Arguments are converted to numbers before evaluation.

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

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

       expr3
       -----
       expr4 {cmp} expr4

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

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

       Examples:

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

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

       Examples:

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

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

       Examples:

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

       expr6
       -----

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

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

       A String will be converted to a Number first.

       These operations can be repeated and mixed.  Examples:

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

       expr7
       -----

       number		    number constant
       -----

       Decimal number.	Examples:

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

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

       Note that double quotes are used.

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

       Examples:

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

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

       Note that single quotes are used.

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

       Examples:

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

       option
       ------
       &option		     option value  (local  one	is  pre-
       ferred,	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.'

       global variable
       ---------------
       g:var		     global variable

       A  typed  storage  of  data for use in scripting.  Can be
       created/removed dynamically (via  :let  and  :unlet)  and
       used in expressions.

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

       Information  exposed  by vifm for use in scripting.  Such
       variables are predefined and read-only, but not necessar-
       ily constant.

       v:count
	 count	passed	to : command, 0 by default.  Can be used
       in mappings to passthe count to a different command.
       v:count1
	 same as v:count, but 1 by default.
       v:jobcount
	 number of active jobs (as can	be  seen  in  the  :jobs
       menu).
       v:session
	 name of the current session or empty string.
       v:servername
	 See below.
       v:version
	 version  of  the  application	as  an integer.  Version
       `x.y.z` becomes number `x*100*100 + y*100 + z`, examples:
	  -  v0.14  (that  is  v0.14.0)  is 1400 (leading zeroes
       omitted)
	  - v1.0.2 is 10002
	 Release candidates aren't real  releases,  they  report
       the number of a corresponding release.

       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.

       and installed
	 " in predefined system directory, otherwise try to find
       it elsewhere
	 if executable('/usr/local/bin/defviewer')

       this  order).   Returns	a  string.  See "Command macros"
       section above.

       Examples:

	 " percent sign
	 :echo expand('%%')
	 " the last part of directory name of the other pane
	 :echo expand('%D:t')
	 " $PATH environment variable (same as `:echo $PATH`)
	 :echo expand('$PATH')
	 " full path to the current file with backslashes
	 :echo expand('%c:p:gs!/!\!')

       extcached({cache}, {path}, {extcmd})

       Caches value of {extcmd} external  command  automatically
       updating  it as necessary based on monitoring change date
       of a {path}.  The cache is invalidated when file  or  its
       meta-data  is  updated.	 A single path can have multiple
       caches associated with it.

       {path} value is normalized,  but  symbolic  links  in  it
       aren't resolved.

       Example:

	 "  display number and size of blocks actually used by a
       file or directory
	 set statusline+=" Uses: %{ extcached('uses',
					    \ expand('%c'),
					    \	    expand('stat
       --format=%%bx%%B %c')) }"

       filereadable({path})

       Checks  whether	{path} exists and refers to a non-direc-
       tory entry and its permissions  allow  reading.	 Returns
       boolean value describing result of the check.

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

       Checks  type  of a view's entry or of a file specified by
       its path.

       Parameter {file} can be of the following forms:
	- '.' to get type of file under the cursor in the active
       pane
	-  numerical  value base 1 to get type of file on speci-
       fied line number (only if there are no  characters  other
       than "+-0123456789")
	- a path (prepend "./" to force interpretation of a num-
       ber or '.' as a path)

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

       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 hap-
       pen) or
		   non-file (pseudo-entries in compare view)

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

       fnameescape({expr})

       Escapes parameter to make it suitable for use as an argu-
       ment 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.  Possi-
       ble return values:
	   regular	regular file listing of some directory
	   custom	custom file list (%u)
	   very-custom	very custom file list (%U)
	   tree 	tree view
	   compare	compare view

       has({property})

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

       Usage example:

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

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

       input({prompt} [, {initial} [, {completion}]])

       Creates	a  command-line  prompt  to obtain user's input.
       Initial value can  be  supplied	as  an	optional  second
       parameter, otherwise empty string is used.

       Optional  third	parameter  specifies kind of completion,
       which can be one of:
	   dir	 paths to directories
	   file  paths to files and directories
	   ""	 (empty string, default) no completion

       Note that behaviour differs from Vim  where  executing  a
       mapping like
	 nnoremap j :echo input('text: ')<cr>input leaves you in
       a prompt mode with "input" typed in.  Vifm will wait  for
       leaving	the  prompt and then continue executing the map-
       ping.

       Usage example:

	 nnoremap ,m : let  $DIR_NAME  =  input('mkdir:  ',  '',
       'dir')
		    \| if $DIR_NAME != ''
		    \|		      execute		 'mkdir'
       fnameescape($DIR_NAME)
		    \| endif<cr>

       layoutis({type})

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

       Usage example:

	 " automatically split vertically before  enabling  pre-
       view
	 :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

       selected()

       Retrieves number of files selected in the active pane.

       system({command})

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

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

       Usage example:

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

       tabpagenr([{arg}])

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

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

       term({command})

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

       Usage example:

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

Menus and dialogs
       When  navigating to some path from a menu there is a dif-
       ference in the end location depending on whether the path
       has a trailing slash.  Files normally don't have trailing
       slashes so "file/" won't work.  In  case  of  directories
       there  are two options: navigate to a directory or inside
       of it.  To allow both use  cases,  the  first  action  is
       taken for "dir" and the second one for "dir/".

       Menu commands

       :range navigate to a menu line.

						:chistory

       :chi[story]
	      display  menu  of  saved	menus.	 See  "Menus and
	      dialogs" section for  controls,  also  see  "Menus
	      history" section.

						:colder

       :col[der]
	      load  an	older  navigation  menu if there is one.
	      See also "Menus history" section.

						:cnewer

       :cnew[er]
	      load a newer navigation menu if there is one.  See
	      also "Menus history" section.

						:find

       :fin[d]
	      the  behaviour  matches  that  of  non-menu  :find
	      except that no range is accepted.  If active  view
	      contained selection before entering menu mode, the
	      command takes it into account.

						:grep

       :gr[ep]
	      the  behaviour  matches  that  of  non-menu  :grep
	      except  that no range is accepted.  If active view
	      contained selection before entering menu mode, the
	      command takes it into account.

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

       :noh[lsearch]
	      reset search match highlighting.

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

       Common keys of all menus and dialogs


       j, Ctrl-N
	      move the cursor down.

       k, Ctrl-P
	      move the cursor up.

       Enter  select and usually close menu/dialog.

       Ctrl-L redraw menu/dialog.

       Escape, Ctrl-C
       ZZ, ZQ
       q
	      close menu/dialog.


       Common keys of all menus

       Ctrl-B, Ctrl-F
       Ctrl-D, Ctrl-U
       Ctrl-E, Ctrl-Y
       /, ?
       n, N
       [count]G, [count]gg
       H, M, L
       zb, zt, zz
	      these keys have the  same  meaning  as  in  normal
	      mode.


       [count]zh
	      scroll   menu   items  [count]  characters  (1  by
	      default) to the right.

       [count]zl

	      default) to the left.

       zH     scroll  menu  items  half  the screen width to the
	      right.

       zL     scroll menu items half the  screen  width  to  the
	      left.



       :      enter command line mode for menus.

       b      interpret  content  of the menu as a list of paths
	      and use it to create custom view in place  of  the
	      previously  active  pane.  See "Custom views" sec-
	      tion below.

       B      same as above, but create an unsorted view.

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


       Navigation menus

       This applies to the following menus:
	- :bmarks, :bmgo
	- :find
	- :grep
	- :locate
	- user menu with navigation (%M macro)


       gf     navigate	 previously  active  view  to  currently
	      selected item.  Leaves menu mode except for  :grep
	      menu.  Pressing Enter or l has the same effect.

       e      open  selected  path  in	an editor, stays in menu
	      mode.

       c      leave menu preserving file  selection  and  insert
	      file  name  after  :!  in command-line mode.  Does
	      nothing in :bmarks and :bmgo.

       Note that each of these menus can have  additional  keys,
       see below.

       History menus (:history *)
       ==========================


       Command-line history menu

       Enter, l
	      execute the item as a command-line command, search
	      query or local filter.

       c      leave  the  menu	preserving  file  selection  and
	      insert the item into the command-line of appropri-
	      ate kind.


       Directory history menu

       Enter, l
	      navigate into the selected directory.


       Menu commands history menu

       Enter, l
	      execute command without leaving the menu.

       c      insert menu item into command-line for editing.


       Other menus
       ===========

       Apropos (:apropos) menu

       Enter, l
	      run man on a given topic.  Menu  won't  be  closed
	      automatically  to  allow viewing several pages one
	      by one.


       Bookmarks (:bmarks, :bmgo) menu

       Enter, l
	      navigate to the selected bookmark.

       dd     remove bookmark under the cursor.

       See above for "gf" and "e" keys.

       Command-line mode abbreviations (:cabbrev) menu

       dd     remove abbreviation under the cursor.


       Color scheme (:colorscheme) menu

       Enter, l
	      apply selected  colorscheme  as  if  ":colorscheme
	      <name>" was executed on the command-line.


       Commands (:command) menu

       Enter, l
	      execute  the  command  with  empty  arguments  (%a
	      macro).

       dd     remove command under the cursor.

       c      leave menu preserving file  selection  and  insert
	      right-hand  side of selected command into the com-
	      mand-line.


       Directory stack (:dirs) menu

       Enter, l
	      rotate the stack to put selected directory pair at
	      the top.


       File (:file) menu

       Commands  from  vifmrc  or  typed on the command-line are
       displayed above an empty line if it's present.  All  com-
       mands below the empty line come from .desktop files.

       Commands  detected  as  available have "[present]" to the
       left of them.


       Enter, l
	      run selected command (regardless	whether  it  was
	      detected to be present or not).

       c      leave  menu  preserving  file selection and insert
	      command after :! in the command-line mode.

       See above for "gf", "e" and "c" keys.

       Jobs (:jobs) menu

       dd     request cancellation of job under the 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  win-
	      dows.

       e      display  errors  of  selected job if any were col-
	      lected.  They are displayed in a new menu, but you
	      can return to jobs menu by pressing h.

       r      reload the list of jobs.


       Marks (:marks) menu

       Enter, l
	      navigate to selected mark.

       dd     remove mark under the cursor.


       Media (:media) menu

       Enter, l
	      behaviour  is  different	for  different	kinds of
	      lines:
	       - mount an unmounted device
	       - navigate to the first mount point of a  mounted
	      device
	       - navigate to a mount point
	       - do nothing for "not mounted" or an empty line

       r      reload the list.

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

       [      put cursor on the previous device.

       ]      put cursor on the next device.


       Menus history (:chistory) menu

       Enter, l
	      load selected menu.


       Plugins (:plugins) menu

       e      display log messages of  selected  plugin  if  any
	      were collected.  They are displayed in a new menu,
	      but you can return to plugins menu by pressing  h.

       gf     navigate previously active view to the location of
	      selected plugin.	Leaves the menu mode.


       Trash (:lstrash) menu

       r      restore a file from  the	trash  to  its	original
	      location.

       dd     delete file under the cursor.

	      whole line after :! in command-line mode.


       Volumes (:volumes) menu
       only for MS-Windows

       Enter, l
	      navigate into the root of the selected drive.


       Dialog-specific operations
       ==========================

       Attributes (permissions or properties) dialog

       h, Space
	      check/uncheck.

       q      close the dialog.

       r      (*nix only) (un)set all read bits.

       w      (*nix only) (un)set all write bits.

       x      (*nix only) (un)set all execute bits.

       s      (*nix only) (un)set all special  (SetUID,  SetGID,
	      Sticky) bits.

       e      (*nix  only)  (un)set  recursion	(for directories
	      only).


       Possible item states:

       - * - checked flag.

       - X - selected files  have  inconsistent  value	of  this
	 flag.

       - 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 permis-
	 sion bit from all files, but preserve it  for	directo-
	 ries,	set  all  execute  flags  to  'd' and check 'Set
	 Recursively' flag.


       Fileinfo (Ctrl-G) dialog

       Enter, q
	      close the dialog.


       Sort (:sort) dialog

       h, Space
	      switch ascending/descending order.

       q      close the dialog.


       There is also a shortcut per sorting key  (drawn  on  the
       dialog).


Menus history
       Menus  are  often  used	to present results of operations
       (like finding or grepping files).  Once closed  they  can
       be  recreated  by  repeating  a	command, but it might be
       inconvenient (require  changing	directory,  finding  the
       command and possibly finding position in a menu) and time
       consuming to re-run the operation.  To make referring  to
       older  menus  possible,	vifm  stores  up to 25 last such
       menus and provides means for recalling them using  famil-
       iar set of Vim commands.

       As already hinted above, this doesn't apply to every menu
       because things like :version or :commands rely solely  on
       internal  data  and  don't  need to be saved.  Only menus
       that are derived from external sources and support  navi-
       gation (like via gf) are remembered.

       Navigating through history

       Re-opening  the last viewed menu of relevant type is done
       by running :copen command.  Once opened	:colder  can  be
       used  to view older menus and :cnewer to view newer ones.

       Closing a menu after moving through the history remembers
       the position such that running :copen again will open the
       last viewed menu and allow one to continue exploring his-
       tory in both directions.

       The  history  always contains menus sorted from oldest to
       newest.	After opening more than 25 menus the oldest  one
       is likely to be forgotten.  It's not guaranteed to happen
       because after viewing an older menu  new  entry	replaces
       all  more recent ones.  As an example, assume the history
       looks like this:

	1. :find 1
	2. :find 2
	...  23. :find 23 (current element)  24.  :find  24  25.
       :find 25

       Running `:find 11` results in:

	1. :find 1
	2. :find 2
	...   23.  :find  23  24. :find 26 (current element) 25.
       None

       For convenience, :colder and :cnewer can be used any time
       you're  in  a  menu, not just after :copen.  :cnewer will
       work only if current menu can't be saved and you've moved
       back  in  menus	history before.  Behaviour of :colder is
       like this:
	- if current menu  can	be  stashed,  behave  as  :quit,
       :copen,	:colder  sequence  (current  menu is stashed the
       same way as described above)
	- if current menu can't be  stashed,  behave  as  :quit,
       :copen sequence

       Viewing history

       In  order  to  avoid  enumerating  menus  looking for the
       matching one, :chistory command can be  used  to  get  an
       overview  of  saved  menus, maybe search for one and then
       open it.  The command is also available in menu mode.

Custom views
       Definition

       Normally,  file views present a list of files from a sin-
       gle directory, but sometimes it's useful to populate them
       with files from unrelated locations.  This is what custom
       views are mainly for.

       Presentation

       Custom views are still related to the 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 the same directory have to be named differently
       but custom views are free  from	this  constraint,  hence
       seeing  file  names  alone might be rather confusing.  In
       order to give an idea where files come from  paths  rela-
       tive to the original directory of the view are used, when
       that's not possible full paths are shown.

       Custom views normally don't contain any inexistent files.

       Navigation/exiting

       Navigation  in  custom views somewhat differs compared to
       regular views.

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

       h  -  goes to the closest parent node in the tree view or
       terminates the custom
	   view returning to the original directory.

       gh - terminates the custom view returning to the original
       directory.

       Going  to  the parent directory in other ways (whether by
       opening ".." entry or executing	`:cd  ..`)  also  causes
       termination and return to the original location.

       All  other  ways of changing location (e.g., marks, book-
       marks, :cd, :sync) also cause termination of  the  custom
       view.

       History

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

       Filters

       Only  local filter affects contents of the view.  This is
       intentional.  Presumably, if one loads a particular list,
       precisely that list should be displayed (except for inex-
       istent 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 the 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 pre-
       viously affected by an operation which was  later  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 that's not a real file
       system location.

       On the other hand, operations that use files of a  custom
       view  as  a  source  (e.g., yanking, copying, moving file
       from a 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 a single 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.   See  "Custom  views"
       section.

       Creation

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

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

       How files are compared:
	- byname     - by their name only;
	- bysize     - only by their size;
	- bycontents - by data they contain (combination of size
       and  hash  of  small  chunk  of contents is used as first
       approximation, so don't worry too much about large files;
       non-regular files like pipes are assumed to be empty).

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

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

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

       Comparison tweaks:
	-   withicase	-   ignore   case  when  comparing  file
       names/paths;
	-  withrcase  -  respect  case	 when	comparing   file
       names/paths.

       Which results to show (has no effect for single pane com-
       parison):
	- showidentical    -  control  visibility  of  identical
       files;
	- showdifferent   - control visibility of changed files;
	-  showuniqueleft   -  control	visibility   of   unique
       top/left files;
	-  showuniqueright  -  control visibility of unique bot-
       tom/right files.

       Each argument can appear multiple  times,  the  rightmost
       one  of	the  group defines the behaviour.  All arguments
       alter default behaviour instead of substituting it.

       When neither "withicase" nor  "withrcase"  is  specified,
       case depends on the running operating system and the file
       system on which the files are located.

       Exiting

       Comparing two views results in them  entering  a  special
       state  implemented  on  top  of custom views.  Both views
       leave this state when either of them stops being  custom.
       Custom  views  terminate on changing to a different loca-
       tion or as a result of a  command  like	:regular,  going
       into  the  parent  directory (like with h key or `:cd ..`
       command) returns to a regular state without changing  the
       location.  See "Custom views" section for more details.

       Examples

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

	 :compare
	 :compare bycontents grouppaths
	 :compare bycontents listall ofboth grouppaths
	 :compare   showidentical  showdifferent  showuniqueleft
       showuniqueright

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

	 :compare listdups ofone

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

	 :compare listunique

       Look

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

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

       The  status  bar  displays only the initial result of the
       comparison and can be out of date.

       Behaviour

       When two views are being compared against one another 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  immedi-
       ately;
	-  renaming  files  isn't  blocked, but isn't taken into
       account and might require regeneration of comparison;
	- entries which indicate absence of equivalent file have
       empty names and can be matched as such;
	-  when  unique  files	of both views are listed, custom
       views can be empty,  this  absence  of  unique  files  is
       stated clearly.

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

       Files are gathered in this way:
	- recursively starting at current location of the view;
	- dot files are excluded  if  view  hides  them  at  the
       moment  of  comparison,	file  name filters are obeyed as
       well so you end up comparing what you see;
	- directories are not taken into account;
	- symbolic links to directories are ignored.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	 set
	     \smartcase

       equals "setsmartcase".  When

	 set<space here>
	     \ smartcase

       equals "set  smartcase".

       The  $VIFM/vifminfo  file  contains  generic state of the
       application.  You can control what is stored in	vifminfo
       by  setting  'vifminfo'	option.  Vifm always writes this
       file on exit unless 'vifminfo' option is  empty.   Marks,
       bookmarks,  commands,  histories,  filetypes, fileviewers
       and registers in the file are merged with vifm configura-
       tion (which has bigger priority).

       Generally, runtime configuration has bigger priority dur-
       ing merging, but there are some exceptions:

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

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

	 - all	histories are marked with timestamps on storing,
	   this means that last instance to quit puts  its  ele-
	   ments on top of the list;

	 - tabs  are  merged  only  if both current instance and
	   stored state contain exactly one tab of any kind.

       The $VIFM/scripts directory can	contain  shell	scripts.
       vifm  modifies  its PATH environment variable to let user
       run those scripts without specifying full path.	All sub-
       directories  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/ directo-
       ries contain color schemes.  Available color schemes  are
       searched  in  that  order, so on name conflict the one in
       $VIFM/colors/ wins.

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

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

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

Sessions
       Sessions provide a way to have multiple	persistent  run-
       time  configurations.   Think  of  them	as  second-level
       vifminfo files in addition to the first-level one used by
       all  sessions.  In other words, they aren't a replacement
       for vifminfo file that exists without  sessions,  but  an
       addition to it.	One can empty 'vifminfo' option and rely
       solely on sessions, but in practice  one  might	want  to
       share some state among instances in different sessions or
       have an "out-of-sessions"  state  for  tasks  that  don't
       deserve a session of their own.

       This leads to a two-level structure where data in session
       files has higher priority than  data  in  vifminfo  files
       (where  this  makes  sense) following the same rules that
       merging of vifminfo file obeys.	 In  addition  to  that,
       history items from session files are never ordered before
       history items from vifminfo file.

       Format

       Sessions have the format of vifminfo files, they  do  not
       consist	of sequence of command-line commands and are not
       meant to be sourced via :source command.

       Storage and naming

       `$VIFM/sessions/` directory serves as a storage for  ses-
       sions.	Consequently  names  should  be valid filenames.
       The structure of the storage is flat meaning  that  there
       are no subdirectories, that's why names of sessions can't
       contain slashes.

       Usage model

       Contrary to Vim, vifm automates basic management of  ses-
       sions.	You  can start, switch, stop or delete a session
       using builtin means.

       Current session is saved at the	same  time  vifminfo  is
       saved  (on  normal exits or explicitly on :write command)
       and right before switching to another session.  To  avoid
       saving  in  those  cases  use  :session command to detach
       (without saving) from a session before proceeding.

Automatic FUSE mounts
       vifm has a builtin support of automated FUSE file  system
       mounts.	It is implemented using file associations mecha-
       nism.  To enable automated mounts, one  needs  to  use  a
       specially formatted program line in filetype or filextype
       commands.  These use special macros,  which  differ  from
       macros  in  commands  unrelated to FUSE.  Currently three
       formats are supported:

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

       Format line:
	 FUSE_MOUNT|mounter	%SOURCE_FILE	%DESTINATION_DIR
       [%FOREGROUND]

       Example filetype command:

	 :filetype  FUSE_MOUNT|fuse-zip  %SOURCE_FILE  %DESTINA-
       TION_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	 [%FORE-
       GROUND]

       Example filetype command:

	 :filetype   *.ssh  FUSE_MOUNT2|sshfs  %PARAM  %DESTINA-
       TION_DIR

       Example file content:

	 root@127.0.0.1:/

       3) FUSE_MOUNT3

       This  format  is  equivalent  to  FUSE_MOUNT,  but  omits
       unmounting.   It  is  useful  for  cases, when unmounting
       isn't needed, like when using AVFS.

       Example :filetype command:

	 :filetype
       *.tar,*.tar.bz2,*.tbz2,*.tgz,*.tar.gz,*.tar.xz,*.txz,*.deb
	      \ {Mount with avfs}
	      \     FUSE_MOUNT3|mount-avfs	%DESTINATION_DIR
       %SOURCE_FILE

       Example `mount-avfs` helper script:

	 #!/bin/sh

	 dest=$1
	 file=$2

	 rmdir "$dest"
	 ln -s "$HOME/.avfs$file#/" "$dest"

       All % macros are expanded by vifm at runtime and have the
       following meaning:
	 - %SOURCE_FILE is replaced by	full  path  to	selected
       file;
	 -  %DESTINATION_DIR  is  replaced by full path to mount
       directory, which is created by vifm basing on  the  value
       of 'fusehome' option;
	 -  %PARAM  value  is filled from the first line of file
       (whole line), though in the future it can be  changed  to
       whole file content;
	 -  %FOREGROUND means that you want to run mount command
       as a regular command (required  to  be  able  to  provide
       input for communication with mounter in interactive way).

       %FOREGROUND is an optional macro.  Other macros	are  not
       mandatory,  but	mount commands likely won't work without
       them.

       %CLEAR is obsolete name of %FOREGROUND,	which  is  still
       supported,  but	might  be removed in future.  Its use is
       discouraged.

       Unlike macros elsewhere, these  are  recognized	only  if
       they  appear at the end of a command or are followed by a
       space.  There is no way to escape %  either.   These  are
       historical  limitations,  which might be addressed in the
       future.

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

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

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

View look
       vifm supports displaying of file list view in two differ-
       ent 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, ter-
       minal 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 for-
       mat
	   [ '-' | '*' ] [ fw ( [ '.' tw ] | '%' ) ] '{' type  |
       literal '}' '.'{0,3}
       where fw stands for full width, tw stands for text width,
       bar is logical or, square brackets denote optional  parts
       and curly braces define range of repetitions for a symbol
       that precedes them.

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

       Alignment specifier

       It's an optional minus or asterisk sign as the first sym-
       bol 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}

       - middle align

	 It's like left alignment, but when the text  is  bigger
	 than  the column, it is cut in the middle (so the start
	 and the end of the field are always visible).

	   set viewcolumns=^{name}

       - dynamic align

	 It's like left alignment, but when the text  is  bigger
	 than the column, the alignment is made at the right (so
	 the part of the field is always visible).

	   set viewcolumns=*{name}

       Width specifier

       It's a number followed by a  percent  sign,  two  numbers
       (second	one  should  be  less than or equal to the first
       one) separated with a dot or a single number.

       Specifies column width and its  units.  There  are  three
       size types:

       - absolute size - column width is specified in characters

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

       Column contents

       This is usually	a  sorting  key  surrounded  with  curly
       braces, e.g.

	 {name},{ext},{mtime}

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

       The following column types don't have corresponding sort-
       ing keys:

	 - {root}      -  display  name  without extension (as a
	   complement for {ext})

	 - {fileroot} - display name without extension for  any-
	   thing  except  for  directories and symbolic links to
	   directories (as a complement for {fileext})

       Empty curly braces ({}) are  replaced  with  the  default
       secondary column for primary sort key.  So after the next
       command view will be displayed almost as if 'viewcolumns'
       was empty, but adding ellipsis for long file names:

	 set viewcolumns=-{name}..,6{}.

       The  last  kind of column value is a string literal.  The
       literal is used as a column value  for  every  row.   The
       syntax is "{#literal}", examples:

	 " double-character pseudo-padding on both sides
	 set viewcolumns='2{#},*{name}..,{},2{#}'
	 " pseudo-border between columns
	 set viewcolumns='*{name}..,{#|},6{}'
	 " pseudo-border with padding between columns
	 set viewcolumns='*{name}..,{# | },6{}'

       This  can  be  used to draw column separators.  Mind that
       for convenience literals have different defaults: trunca-
       tion and automatically determined absolute size, which is
       what you usually want for them.	Make sure  to  quote  or
       escape  spaces,	vertical  bars and other special symbols
       when using them as part of literals.

       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,
	   WildBox  and  WildMenu  are	always determined by the
	   primary color scheme;

	 - CurrLine,  Selected,  Directory,  Link,   BrokenLink,
	   Socket, Device, Executable, Fifo, CmpMismatch, CmpUn-
	   matched,  CmpBlank,	Win,  AuxWin  and  OtherWin  are
	   determined by primary color scheme and a set of local
	   color schemes, which can be empty.

       There might be a set of local color schemes because  they
       are  structured	hierarchically	according to file system
       structure. For example, having  the  following  piece  of
       file system:

	 ~
	 `-- bin
	    |
	    `-- my

       Two color schemes:

	 # ~/.config/vifm/colors/for_bin.vifm
	 highlight Win cterm=none ctermfg=white ctermbg=red
	 highlight CurrLine cterm=none ctermfg=red ctermbg=black

	 # ~/.config/vifm/colors/for_bin_my.vifm
	 highlight     CurrLine     cterm=none	   ctermfg=green
       ctermbg=black

       And these three commands in the vifmrc file:

	 colorscheme Default
	 colorscheme for_bin ~/bin
	 colorscheme for_bin_my ~/bin/my

       File list will look in the following way for each level:

       - ~/ - Default color scheme
	 black background
	 cursor with blue background

       - ~/bin/ - mix of Default and for_bin color schemes
	 red background
	 cursor with black background and red foreground

       - ~/bin/my/  -  mix  of	Default,  for_bin and for_bin_my
	 color schemes
	 red background
	 cursor with black background and green foreground

Trash directory
       vifm has support of trash directory,  which  is	used  as
       temporary  storage  for	deleted files or files that were
       cut.  Using trash is controlled by  the	'trash'  option,
       and  exact  path  to the trash can be set with 'trashdir'
       option.	Trash directory in vifm differs from the system-
       wide  one  by default, because of possible incompatibili-
       ties of storing deleted files among different  file  man-
       agers.	   But	   one	  can	 set	'trashdir'    to
       "~/.local/share/Trash" to use a "standard"  trash  direc-
       tory.

       There are two scenarios of using trash in vifm:

	 1. As	a  place  for storing files that were cut by "d"
	    and may be inserted to some other place in file sys-
	    tem.

	 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 cor-
       rect 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.

File copying
       For enabling copy-on-write of BTRFS on Linux, set  "fast-
       filecloning" flag of 'iooptions' option.

       File  copying  within an XFS file system uses reflinks by
       default.  Any file copied from another file  system  will
       be copied without reflinks even if it has a matching list
       of XFS extents.	Reflinks are not guaranteed  when  using
       external  programs.  This behaviour was observed on Linux
       and doesn't necessarily hold for other environments.

Client-Server
       vifm supports remote execution of command-line mode  com-
       mands,  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  avail-
       able via v:servername.


       v:servername
	      server  name  of the running vifm instance.  Empty
	      if client-server feature is disabled.

External Renaming
       When an editor is run to edit list of  file  names,  con-
       tents of the temporary file has the following format:

	 1. Order of lines correspond to the order of files in a
	    view.

	 2. Lines that start with a "#"  are  comments	and  are
	    ignored.

	 3. Single  backslash  at  the	beginning  of  a line is
	    ignored, so that a file starting  with  a  backslash
	    will appear like "\#name".

       If  an  operation  was  rejected  due to issues with file
       names, next time you'll see the following in this order:

	 1. Last error (in comments).

	 2. Original file names (in comments).

	 3. Failed list of new names.

       Mind that Vim plugin will extract list of original  names
       and show them in a vertical split.

       You can cancel renaming by removing all non-comments from
       the buffer.  This also erases information about	previous
       edits.

Using mouse
       Note:  <ScrollWheelDown>  is not available on 32-bit *nix
       systems, because ncurses doesn't support it there  (limi-
       tation of implementation).

       Note:  these are not available in mappings at the moment.

       Normal Mode

	 event		   position  change  action
			    cursor   window
	 <LeftMouse>	      yes	yes	<cr>  if  cursor
       wasn't move
	 <LeftRelease>	      no      yes
	 <MiddleMouse>	      no      yes    <c-e>
	 <MiddleRelease>      no      yes
	 <RightMouse>	     yes      yes    :file
	 <RightRelease>       no      yes
	 <ScrollWheelUp>      no      yes    <c-y> or :tabprevi-
       ous
	 <ScrollWheelDown>    no      yes    <c-e> or :tabnext

       Clicking on or scrolling over an inactive pane (including
       its  title), makes it active and does nothing else.  Tabs
       are scrolled when mouse hovers over them.

       Clicking on the left miller column goes to parent  direc-
       tory and clicking the right one opens current entry.

       Visual Mode

	 event		   position  selection	action
			    cursor
	 <LeftMouse>	      yes	update	  <cr> if cursor
       wasn't move

       view Mode

	 event		     action

	 <ScrollWheelUp>     k
	 <ScrollWheelDown>   j

       Clicking on or scrolling over an inactive pane (including
       its title), detaches view mode if it wasn't activated for
       exploring a file.


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

       Commands:

	 :EditVifm    select a file or files to open in the cur-
       rent buffer.
	 :Vifm	     alias for :EditVifm.
	 :SplitVifm  split buffer and select a file or files  to
       open.
	 :VsplitVifm  vertically  split buffer and select a file
       or files to open.
	 :DiffVifm   select a file or files to	compare  to  the
       current file with
		     :vert diffsplit.
	 :TabVifm    select a file or files to open in tabs.

       Each  command  accepts  up  to  two  arguments: left pane
       directory and right pane directory.  After arguments  are
       checked,  vifm  process	is  spawned  in a special "file-
       picker" mode.  To pick files just  open	them  either  by
       pressing l, i or Enter keys, or by running :edit command.
       If no files  are  selected,  file  under  the  cursor  is
       opened, otherwise whole selection is passed to the plugin
       and opened in vim.

       The plugin have only two settings.  It's a  string  vari-
       able 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  exe-
       cutable.  To pass arguments to vifm use g:vifm_exec_args,
       which is empty by default.

       To use the plugin copy the vifm.vim file  to  either  the
       system wide vim/plugin directory or into ~/.vim/plugin.

       If  you	would  prefer not to use the plugin and it is in
       the system wide plugin directory add

       let loaded_vifm=1

       to your ~/.vimrc file.

Reserved
       The following command names are reserved and shouldn't be
       used for user commands.

	 g[lobal]
	 v[global]

ENVIRONMENT
       VIFM   Points  to  main	configuration directory (usually
	      ~/.config/vifm/).

       MYVIFMRC
	      Points to main configuration file (usually ~/.con-
	      fig/vifm/vifmrc).

       These  environment  variables  are  valid inside vifm and
       also can be used to configure it by setting some of  them
       before running vifm.

       When  $MYVIFMRC	isn't  set,  it's  made  as $VIFM/vifmrc
       (exception for Windows: vifmrc in the same  directory  as
       vifm.exe has higher priority than $VIFM/vifmrc).

       See "Startup" section above for more details.

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