Search Syntax

Fzf search syntax

vim-clap adopts most of fzf search syntax. Note that the OR operator defined by a single bar character is unsupported, but you can achieve that by using multiple exact matches.

!fireinverse-exact-matchItems that do not include fire
!^musicinverse-prefix-exact-matchItems that do not start with music
