Doesn't see files in directories with accented characters about ctrlp.vim HOT 9 CLOSED

Works fine for me on Linux and Windows, haven't tried OSX yet:

What Vim version are you using? If it's 7.0 or 7.1 then you'll just need to upgrade Vim.

from ctrlp.vim.

I'm using Vim v7.3.353 on OSX.
I have copied my .vim and .vimrc to my Linux machine and it works there:

from ctrlp.vim.

Does it work if you have this in your .vimrc?

set termencoding=utf-8
set encoding=utf-8

It works for me on OSX (oddly only after a system restart):

from ctrlp.vim.

Added it to my .vimrc, but no, still nothing, even after system restart.

from ctrlp.vim.

It looks like the problem is with Vim's globpath() not expanding the path correctly when the path has one of those characters. I'm not 100% sure, though.

I think you'll have to use the g:ctrlp_user_command option to get the list of files instead. You can add this to your .vimrc:

let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'find %s -type f'

Or this to filter files that you don't want to be listed:

let g:ctrlp_user_command = "find %s -type f | egrep -v '\.(swp|swo|log|gitkep|keepme|so|o)$'"

Let me know how that works.

from ctrlp.vim.

That works, thank you!

I noticed just now that it's even on the homepage:
let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'find %s -type f' " MacOSX/Linux

Oh well. :)

Hi,
I'm encountering a similar problem in Linux terminal: I can't type any of the Estonian umlaut characters ä, ö, ü, õ on the Ctrl-P command line.

Typing ä points the cursor to the first, topmost match in Ctrl-P window.
Typing ü points cursor to the last match at the bottom.
Typing ö does nothing.
Typing õ enters gUl to the command line.

I tried all the settings described above, including multiple restarts. It looks as though Ctrl-P doesn't recognize my Estonian keyboard. Thanks for any help!

@marttt: that's a different issue and it's a known limitation of the ctrlp prompt. But if you update ctrlp to the latest, you can set the g:ctrlp_key_loop option to allow typing of accented characters. See :help g:ctrlp_key_loop for more details.

@kien: Yes, I had just found and applied the patch a second ago. This works brilliantly, thanks very much!
