Hitting F5 in CTRLP result in == NO ENTRIES ==

702 views Asked by At

I wanted to update the content of CTRLP so I hit F5 while in the CTRLP mode but now no files shows up and instead i get == NO ENTRIES ==.

What did I do wrong and what can I do to repopulate the buffer with my pwd?

I use the silver searcher to ctrl-p my files and folders in vim (s. this introduction as a great reference). As the silver searcher respects your .gitignore-settings and because I had, by mistake, a ~/.gitignore-file excluding basically every file, I had no entries in my ctrl-p buffer.
