Close ctrlp

[DAddYE]

Hi, finally I think I found the problem,

when I invoke ctrlp, then I press <esc> when I can found the file, this will not close ctrlp and switch to another buffer. Re-calling ctrlp create a new instance.

How I can close it when no matches was found?

That sounds like <esc> isn't working. Can you use <c-c> or <c-g> (CTRL-C or CTRL-G) to close CtrlP?

Also, are you using Vim in terminal or are you using gVim/MacVim?

ctrlg is working, Im using vim from terminal.

What does it show when you run :echo &term from Vim's command line? And what OS are you on?

[DAddYE]

Im under lion, using iTerm

xterm-256color

notice this doesn't happen even, sometimes specially when I search something and I got "no matches"

This is a really odd behavior and most likely has something to do with the control sequences in terminal (again). So maybe I'll install iTerm and try something out. But for the mean time, I guess you'll just have to use <c-c> or <c-g> to exit CtrlP.

Okey Thank you!

OK, I tried to reproduce this with iTerm 1.0 and Vim 7.2 on Snow Leopard but couldn't; <esc> seemed to work fine in both situations, matches and no matches. I guess there's something else in your setup interfering with the <esc> key.

So if you don't mind, can you capture the error message like this?

1. Run :redir @a (redirect to register a)
2. Call CtrlP and try to reproduce the error with <esc> and "no matches".
3. Exit CtrlP with <c-c> or <c-g>
4. Run :redir END
5. Get the content from register a with "ap and post it here.

Closing this for now as unreproducible and since it's a minor issue.
