+INTRODUCTION                                    *command-t-intro*
+
+The Command-T plug-in provides an extremely fast, intuitive mechanism for
+opening files with a minimal number of keystrokes. It's named "Command-T"
+because it is inspired by the "Go to File" window bound to Command-T in
+TextMate.
+
+Files are selected by typing characters that appear in their paths, and are
+ordered by an algorithm which knows that characters that appear in certain
+locations (for example, immediately after a path separator) should be given
+more weight.
+
+To search efficiently, especially in large projects, you should adopt a
+"path-centric" rather than a "filename-centric" mentality. That is you should
+think more about where the desired file is found rather than what it is
+called. This means narrowing your search down by including some characters
+from the upper path components rather than just entering characters from the
+filename itself.
+
+Screencasts demonstrating the plug-in can be viewed at:

+
+
+REQUIREMENTS                                    *command-t-requirements*
+
+The plug-in requires Vim compiled with Ruby support, a compatible Ruby
+installation at the operating system level, and a C compiler to build
+the Ruby extension.
+
+
+1. Vim compiled with Ruby support
+
+You can check for Ruby support by launching Vim with the --version switch:
+
+  vim --version
+
+If "+ruby" appears in the version information then your version of Vim has
+Ruby support.
+
+Another way to check is to simply try using the :ruby command from within Vim
+itself:
+
+  :ruby 1
+
+If your Vim lacks support you'll see an error message like this:
+
+  E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version
+
+The version of Vim distributed with Mac OS X does not include Ruby support,
+while MacVim does; it is available from:
+
+  http://github.com/b4winckler/macvim/downloads
+
+For Windows users, the Vim 7.2 executable available from www.vim.org does
+include Ruby support, and is recommended over version 7.3 (which links against
+Ruby 1.9, but apparently has some bugs that need to be resolved).
+
+
+2. Ruby
+
+In addition to having Ruby support in Vim, your system itself must have a
+compatible Ruby install. "Compatible" means the same version as Vim itself
+links against. If you use a different version then Command-T is unlikely
+to work (see TROUBLE-SHOOTING below).
+
+On Mac OS X Snow Leopard, the system comes with Ruby 1.8.7 and all recent
+versions of MacVim (the 7.2 snapshots and 7.3) are linked against it.
+
+On Linux and similar platforms, the linked version of Ruby will depend on
+your distribution. You can usually find this out by examining the
+compilation and linking flags displayed by the |:version| command in Vim, and
+by looking at the output of:
+
+  :ruby puts RUBY_VERSION
+
+A suitable Ruby environment for Windows can be installed using the Ruby
+1.8.7-p299 RubyInstaller available at:
+
+  http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/archives
+
+If using RubyInstaller be sure to download the installer executable, not the
+7-zip archive. When installing mark the checkbox "Add Ruby executables to your
+PATH" so that Vim can find them.
+
+
+3. C compiler
+
+Part of Command-T is implemented in C as a Ruby extension for speed, allowing
+it to work responsively even on directory hierarchies containing enormous
+numbers of files. As such, a C compiler is required in order to build the
+extension and complete the installation.
+
+On Mac OS X, this can be obtained by installing the Xcode Tools that come on
+the Mac OS X install disc.
+
+On Windows, the RubyInstaller Development Kit can be used to conveniently
+install the necessary tool chain:
+
+  http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/archives
+
+At the time of writing, the appropriate development kit for use with Ruby
+1.8.7 is DevKit-3.4.5r3-20091110.
+
+To use the Development Kit extract the archive contents to your C:\Ruby
+folder.
+
+
+INSTALLATION                                    *command-t-installation*
+
+Command-T is distributed as a "vimball" which means that it can be installed
+by opening it in Vim and then sourcing it:
+
+  :e command-t.vba
+  :so %
+
+The files will be installed in your |'runtimepath'|. To check where this is
+you can issue:
+
+  :echo &rtp
+
+The C extension must then be built, which can be done from the shell. If you
+use a typical |'runtimepath'| then the files were installed inside ~/.vim and
+you can build the extension with:
+
+  cd ~/.vim/ruby/command-t
+  ruby extconf.rb
+  make
+
+Note: If you are an RVM user, you must perform the build using the same
+version of Ruby that Vim itself is linked against. This will often be the
+system Ruby, which can be selected before issuing the "make" command with:
+
+  rvm use system
+
+
+MANAGING USING PATHOGEN                         *command-t-pathogen*
+
+Pathogen is a plugin that allows you to maintain plugin installations in
+separate, isolated subdirectories under the "bundle" directory in your
+|'runtimepath'|. The following examples assume that you already have
+Pathogen installed and configured, and that you are installing into
+~/.vim/bundle. For more information about Pathogen, see:
+
+  http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2332
+
+If you manage your entire ~/.vim folder using Git then you can add the
+Command-T repository as a submodule:
+
+  cd ~/.vim
+  git submodule add git://git.wincent.com/command-t.git bundle/command-t
+  git submodule init
+
+Or if you just wish to do a simple clone instead of using submodules:
+
+  cd ~/.vim
+  git clone git://git.wincent.com/command-t.git bundle/command-t
+
+Once you have a local copy of the repository you can update it at any time
+with:
+
+  cd ~/.vim/bundle/command-t
+  git pull
+
+Or you can switch to a specific release with:
+
+  cd ~/.vim/bundle/command-t
+  git checkout 0.8b
+
+After installing or updating you must build the extension:
+
+  cd ~/.vim/bundle/command-t
+  rake make
+
+While the Vimball installation automatically generates the help tags, under
+Pathogen it is necessary to do so explicitly from inside Vim:
+
+  :call pathogen#helptags()
+
+
+TROUBLE-SHOOTING                                *command-t-trouble-shooting*
+
+Most installation problems are caused by a mismatch between the version of
+Ruby on the host operating system, and the version of Ruby that Vim itself
+linked against at compile time. For example, if one is 32-bit and the other is
+64-bit, or one is from the Ruby 1.9 series and the other is from the 1.8
+series, then the plug-in is not likely to work.
+
+As such, on Mac OS X, I recommend using the standard Ruby that comes with the
+system (currently 1.8.7) along with the latest version of MacVim (currently
+version 7.3). If you wish to use custom builds of Ruby or of MacVim (not
+recommmended) then you will have to take extra care to ensure that the exact
+same Ruby environment is in effect when building Ruby, Vim and the Command-T
+extension.
+
+For Windows, the following combination is known to work:
+
+  - Vim 7.2 from http://www.vim.org/download.php:
+      ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pc/gvim72.exe
+  - Ruby 1.8.7-p299 from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/archives:
+      http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/71492/rubyinstaller-1.8.7-p299.exe
+  - DevKit 3.4.5r3-20091110 from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/archives:
+      http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/66888/devkit-3.4.5r3-20091110.7z
+
+If a problem occurs the first thing you should do is inspect the output of:
+
+  ruby extconf.rb
+  make
+
+During the installation, and:
+
+  vim --version
+
+And compare the compilation and linker flags that were passed to the
+extension and to Vim itself when they were built. If the Ruby-related
+flags or architecture flags are different then it is likely that something
+has changed in your Ruby environment and the extension may not work until
+you eliminate the discrepancy.
+
+
+USAGE                                           *command-t-usage*
+
+Bring up the Command-T match window by typing:
+
+  <Leader>t
+
+This mapping is set up automatically for you, provided you do not already have
+a mapping for <Leader>t or |:CommandT|. You can also bring up the match window
+by issuing the command:
+
+  :CommandT
+
+A prompt will appear at the bottom of the screen along with a match window
+showing all of the files in the current directory (as returned by the
+|:pwd| command).
+
+For the most efficient file navigation within a project it's recommended that
+you |:cd| into the root directory of your project when starting to work on it.
+If you wish to open a file from outside of the project folder you can pass in
+an optional path argument (relative or absolute) to |:CommandT|:
+
+  :CommandT ../path/to/other/files
+
+Type letters in the prompt to narrow down the selection, showing only the
+files whose paths contain those letters in the specified order. Letters do not
+need to appear consecutively in a path in order for it to be classified as a
+match.
+
+Once the desired file has been selected it can be opened by pressing <CR>.
+(By default files are opened in the current window, but there are other
+mappings that you can use to open in a vertical or horizontal split, or in
+a new tab.) Note that if you have |'nohidden'| set and there are unsaved
+changes in the current window when you press <CR> then opening in the current
+window would fail; in this case Command-T will open the file in a new split.
+
+The following mappings are active when the prompt has focus:
+
+    <BS>        delete the character to the left of the cursor
+    <Del>       delete the character at the cursor
+    <Left>      move the cursor one character to the left
+    <C-h>       move the cursor one character to the left
+    <Right>     move the cursor one character to the right
+    <C-l>       move the cursor one character to the right
+    <C-a>       move the cursor to the start (left)
+    <C-e>       move the cursor to the end (right)
+    <C-u>       clear the contents of the prompt
+    <Tab>       change focus to the match listing
+
+The following mappings are active when the match listing has focus:
+
+    <Tab>       change focus to the prompt
+
+The following mappings are active when either the prompt or the match listing
+has focus:
+
+    <CR>        open the selected file
+    <C-CR>      open the selected file in a new split window
+    <C-s>       open the selected file in a new split window
+    <C-v>       open the selected file in a new vertical split window
+    <C-t>       open the selected file in a new tab
+    <C-j>       select next file in the match listing
+    <C-n>       select next file in the match listing
+    <Down>      select next file in the match listing
+    <C-k>       select previous file in the match listing
+    <C-p>       select previous file in the match listing
+    <Up>        select previous file in the match listing
+    <C-c>       cancel (dismisses match listing)
+
+The following is also available on terminals which support it:
+
+    <Esc>       cancel (dismisses match listing)
+
+Note that the default mappings can be overriden by setting options in your
+~/.vimrc file (see the OPTIONS section for a full list of available options).
+
+In addition, when the match listing has focus, typing a character will cause
+the selection to jump to the first path which begins with that character.
+Typing multiple characters consecutively can be used to distinguish between
+paths which begin with the same prefix.
+
+
+COMMANDS                                        *command-t-commands*
+
+                                                *:CommandT*
+|:CommandT|     Brings up the Command-T match window, starting in the
+                current working directory as returned by the|:pwd|
+                command.
+
+                                                *:CommandTFlush*
+|:CommandTFlush|Instructs the plug-in to flush its path cache, causing
+                the directory to be rescanned for new or deleted paths
+                the next time the match window is shown. In addition, all
+                configuration settings are re-evaluated, causing any
+                changes made to settings via the |:let| command to be picked
+                up.
+
+
+MAPPINGS                                        *command-t-mappings*
+
+By default Command-T comes with only one mapping:
+
+  <Leader>t     bring up the Command-T match window
+
+However, Command-T won't overwrite a pre-existing mapping so if you prefer
+to define a different mapping use a line like this in your ~/.vimrc:
+
+  nmap <silent> <Leader>t :CommandT<CR>
+
+Replacing "<Leader>t" with your mapping of choice.
+
+Note that in the case of MacVim you actually can map to Command-T (written
+as <D-t> in Vim) in your ~/.gvimrc file if you first unmap the existing menu
+binding of Command-T to "New Tab":
+
+  if has("gui_macvim")
+    macmenu &File.New\ Tab key=<nop>
+    map <D-t> :CommandT<CR>
+  endif
+
+When the Command-T window is active a number of other additional mappings
+become available for doing things like moving between and selecting matches.
+These are fully described above in the USAGE section, and settings for
+overriding the mappings are listed below under OPTIONS.
+
+
+OPTIONS                                         *command-t-options*
+
+A number of options may be set in your ~/.vimrc to influence the behaviour of
+the plug-in. To set an option, you include a line like this in your ~/.vimrc:
+
+    let g:CommandTMaxFiles=20000
+
+To have Command-T pick up new settings immediately (that is, without having
+to restart Vim) you can issue the |:CommandTFlush| command after making
+changes via |:let|.
+
+Following is a list of all available options:
+
+                                                *g:CommandTMaxFiles*
+  |g:CommandTMaxFiles|                           number (default 10000)
+
+      The maximum number of files that will be considered when scanning the
+      current directory. Upon reaching this number scanning stops.
+
+                                                *g:CommandTMaxDepth*
+  |g:CommandTMaxDepth|                           number (default 15)
+
+      The maximum depth (levels of recursion) to be explored when scanning the
+      current directory. Any directories at levels beyond this depth will be
+      skipped.
+
+                                                *g:CommandTMaxHeight*
+  |g:CommandTMaxHeight|                          number (default: 0)
+
+      The maximum height in lines the match window is allowed to expand to.
+      If set to 0, the window will occupy as much of the available space as
+      needed to show matching entries.
+
+                                                *g:CommandTAlwaysShowDotFiles*
+  |g:CommandTAlwaysShowDotFiles|                 boolean (default: 0)
+
+      By default Command-T will show dot-files only if the entered search
+      string contains a dot that could cause a dot-file to match. When set to
+      a non-zero value, this setting instructs Command-T to always include
+      matching dot-files in the match list regardless of whether the search
+      string contains a dot. See also |g:CommandTNeverShowDotFiles|.
+
+                                                *g:CommandTNeverShowDotFiles*
+  |g:CommandTNeverShowDotFiles|                  boolean (default: 0)
+
+      By default Command-T will show dot-files if the entered search string
+      contains a dot that could cause a dot-file to match. When set to a
+      non-zero value, this setting instructs Command-T to never show dot-files
+      under any circumstances. Note that it is contradictory to set both this
+      setting and |g:CommandTAlwaysShowDotFiles| to true, and if you do so Vim
+      will suffer from headaches, nervous twitches, and sudden mood swings.
+
+                                                *g:CommandTScanDotDirectories*
+  |g:CommandTScanDotDirectories|                 boolean (default: 0)
+
+      Normally Command-T will not recurse into "dot-directories" (directories
+      whose names begin with a dot) while performing its initial scan. Set
+      this setting to a non-zero value to override this behavior and recurse.
+      Note that this setting is completely independent of the
+      |g:CommandTAlwaysShowDotFiles| and |g:CommandTNeverShowDotFiles|
+      settings; those apply only to the selection and display of matches
+      (after scanning has been performed), whereas
+      |g:CommandTScanDotDirectories| affects the behaviour at scan-time.
+
+      Note also that even with this setting on you can still use Command-T to
+      open files inside a "dot-directory" such as ~/.vim, but you have to use
+      the |:cd| command to change into that directory first. For example:
+
+        :cd ~/.vim
+        :CommandT
+
+                                                *g:CommandTMatchWindowAtTop*
+  |g:CommandTMatchWindowAtTop|                   boolean (default: 0)
+
+      When this settings is off (the default) the match window will appear at
+      the bottom so as to keep it near to the prompt. Turning it on causes the
+      match window to appear at the top instead. This may be preferable if you
+      want the best match (usually the first one) to appear in a fixed location
+      on the screen rather than moving as the number of matches changes during
+      typing.
+
+As well as the basic options listed above, there are a number of settings that
+can be used to override the default key mappings used by Command-T. For
+example, to set <C-x> as the mapping for cancelling (dismissing) the Command-T
+window, you would add the following to your ~/.vimrc:
+
+  let g:CommandTCancelMap='<C-x>'
+
+Multiple, alternative mappings may be specified using list syntax:
+
+  let g:CommandTCancelMap=['<C-x>', '<C-c>']
+
+Following is a list of all map settings and their defaults:
+
+                              Setting   Default mapping(s)
+
+                                       *g:CommandTBackspaceMap*
+              |g:CommandTBackspaceMap|  <BS>
+
+                                       *g:CommandTDeleteMap*
+                 |g:CommandTDeleteMap|  <Del>
+
+                                       *g:CommandTAcceptSelectionMap*

+
+In addition to the options provided by Command-T itself, some of Vim's own
+settings can be used to control behavior:
+
+                                                *command-t-wildignore*
+  |'wildignore'|                                 string (default: '')
+
+      Vim's |'wildignore'| setting is used to determine which files should be
+      excluded from listings. This is a comma-separated list of glob patterns.
+      It defaults to the empty string, but common settings include "*.o,*.obj"
+      (to exclude object files) or ".git,.svn" (to exclude SCM metadata
+      directories). For example:
+
+        :set wildignore+=*.o,*.obj,.git
+
+      A pattern such as "vendor/rails/**" would exclude all files and
+      subdirectories inside the "vendor/rails" directory (relative to
+      directory Command-T starts in).
+
+      See the |'wildignore'| documentation for more information.

+
+As this was the first Vim plug-in I had ever written I was heavily influenced
+by the design of the LustyExplorer plug-in by Stephen Bach, which I understand
+is one of the largest Ruby-based Vim plug-ins to date.
+
+While the Command-T codebase doesn't contain any code directly copied from
+LustyExplorer, I did use it as a reference for answers to basic questions (like
+"How do you do 'X' in a Ruby-based Vim plug-in?"), and also copied some basic
+architectural decisions (like the division of the code into Prompt, Settings
+and MatchWindow classes).
+
+LustyExplorer is available from:

+HISTORY                                         *command-t-history*
+
+1.0.1 (5 January 2011)
+
+- work around bug when mapping |:CommandTFlush|, wherein the default mapping
+  for |:CommandT| would not be set up
+- clean up when leaving the Command-T buffer via unexpected means (such as
+  with <C-W k> or similar)
+
+1.0 (26 November 2010)
+
+- make relative path simplification work on Windows
+
+1.0b (5 November 2010)
+
+- work around platform-specific Vim 7.3 bug seen by some users (wherein
+  Vim always falsely reports to Ruby that the buffer numbers is 0)
+- re-use the buffer that is used to show the match listing, rather than
+  throwing it away and recreating it each time Command-T is shown; this
+  stops the buffer numbers from creeping up needlessly
+
+0.9 (8 October 2010)
+
+- use relative paths when opening files inside the current working directory
+  in order to keep buffer listings as brief as possible (patch from Matthew
+  Todd)
+
+0.8.1 (14 September 2010)
+
+- fix mapping issues for users who have set |'notimeout'| (patch from Sung
+  Pae)
+
+0.8 (19 August 2010)
+
+- overrides for the default mappings can now be lists of strings, allowing
+  multiple mappings to be defined for any given action
+- <Leader>t mapping only set up if no other map for |:CommandT| exists
+  (patch from Scott Bronson)
+- prevent folds from appearing in the match listing
+- tweaks to avoid the likelihood of "Not enough room" errors when trying to
+  open files
+- watch out for "nil" windows when restoring window dimensions
+- optimizations (avoid some repeated downcasing)
+- move all Ruby files under the "command-t" subdirectory and avoid polluting
+  the "Vim" module namespace
+
+0.8b (11 July 2010)
+
+- large overhaul of the scoring algorithm to make the ordering of returned
+  results more intuitive; given the scope of the changes and room for
+  optimization of the new algorithm, this release is labelled as "beta"
+
+0.7 (10 June 2010)
+
+- handle more |'wildignore'| patterns by delegating to Vim's own |expand()|
+  function; with this change it is now viable to exclude patterns such as
+  'vendor/rails/**' in addition to filename-only patterns like '*.o' and
+  '.git' (patch from Mike Lundy)
+- always sort results alphabetically for empty search strings; this eliminates
+  filesystem-specific variations (patch from Mike Lundy)
+
+0.6 (28 April 2010)
+
+- |:CommandT| now accepts an optional parameter to specify the starting
+  directory, temporarily overriding the usual default of Vim's |:pwd|
+- fix truncated paths when operating from root directory
+
+0.5.1 (11 April 2010)
+
+- fix for Ruby 1.9 compatibility regression introduced in 0.5
+- documentation enhancements, specifically targetted at Windows users
+
+0.5 (3 April 2010)
+
+- |:CommandTFlush| now re-evaluates settings, allowing changes made via |let|
+  to be picked up without having to restart Vim
+- fix premature abort when scanning very deep directory hierarchies
+- remove broken |<Esc>| key mapping on vt100 and xterm terminals
+- provide settings for overriding default mappings
+- minor performance optimization
+
+0.4 (27 March 2010)
+
+- add |g:CommandTMatchWindowAtTop| setting (patch from Zak Johnson)
+- documentation fixes and enhancements
+- internal refactoring and simplification
+
+0.3 (24 March 2010)
+
+- add |g:CommandTMaxHeight| setting for controlling the maximum height of the
+  match window (patch from Lucas de Vries)
+- fix bug where |'list'| setting might be inappropriately set after dismissing
+  Command-T
+- compatibility fix for different behaviour of "autoload" under Ruby 1.9.1
+- avoid "highlight group not found" warning when run under a version of Vim
+  that does not have syntax highlighting support
+- open in split when opening normally would fail due to |'hidden'| and
+  |'modified'| values
+
+0.2 (23 March 2010)
+
+- compatibility fixes for compilation under Ruby 1.9 series
+- compatibility fixes for compilation under Ruby 1.8.5
+- compatibility fixes for Windows and other non-UNIX platforms
+- suppress "mapping already exists" message if <Leader>t mapping is already
+  defined when plug-in is loaded
+- exclude paths based on |'wildignore'| setting rather than a hardcoded
+  regular expression
+
+0.1 (22 March 2010)
+
+- initial public release
