Helm Generic Help

`helm' is an Emacs incremental completion and selection narrowing framework.

Narrow the list by typing some pattern, Multiple patterns are allowed by separating with a space. Select with natural Emacs operations, choose with RET.

Helm Buffer

Tips

Completion

Major-mode

You can enter a partial name of major-mode (e.g. lisp, sh) to narrow down buffers. To specify the major-mode, prefix it with "*" e.g. "*lisp". If you want to match all buffers but the ones with a specific major-mode (negation), prefix the major-mode with "!" e.g. "*!lisp". If you want to specify more than one major-mode, separate them with ",", e.g. "*!lisp,!sh,!fun" will list all buffers but the ones in lisp-mode, sh-mode and fundamental-mode.

Enter then a space and a pattern to narrow down to buffers matching this pattern.

Search inside buffers

If you enter a space and a pattern prefixed by "@" helm will search for text matching this pattern INSIDE the buffer (i.e not in the name of buffer). NOTE that if you enter your pattern prefixed with "@" but escaped, helm will search a buffer matching "@pattern" but will not search inside.

Search by directory name

If you prefix the beginning of pattern with "/" the match will occur on directory name of buffer, it is interesting to narrow down to one directory for example, subsequent string entered after a space will match on buffer-name only. Note that negation is not supported for matching on buffer-file-name. You can specify more than one directory starting from helm v1.6.8

Fuzzy matching

Note that if `helm-buffers-fuzzy-matching' is non--nil you will have fuzzy matching on buffer names (not on directory name matching and major-mode though). A pattern starting with "^" will disable fuzzy matching and will match by exact regexp.

Examples

if I enter in pattern prompt:

"*lisp ^helm @moc"

helm will narrow down the list by selecting only buffers that are in lisp mode, start by helm and match "moc" in their contents.

if I enter in pattern prompt:

"*lisp ^helm moc"

Notice there is no "@" this time helm will look for lisp mode buffers starting by "helm" and have "moc" in their name.

if I enter in pattern prompt:

"*!lisp !helm"

helm will narrow down to buffers that are not in "lisp" mode and that do not match "helm"

if I enter in pattern prompt:

helm w3

helm will narrow down to buffers that are in any "helm" subdirectory and matching w3.

Creating buffers

When creating a new buffer use C-u to choose a mode for your buffer in a list. This list is customizable, see `helm-buffers-favorite-modes'.

Killing buffers

You have a command to kill buffer(s) and quit emacs and a command to kill buffers one by one (no marked) without quitting helm.

You can run this persistent kill buffer command either with the regular `helm-execute-persistent-action' called with a prefix arg (C-u C-j) or with its specific command `helm-buffer-run-kill-persistent' see binding below.

Meaning of colors and prefixes for buffers

Remote buffers are prefixed with '@'. Red => Buffer have its file modified on disk by an external process. Indianred2 => Buffer exists but its file have been deleted. Orange => Buffer is modified and its file not saved to disk. Italic => A non--file buffer.

Commands

M-g s Grep Buffer(s) works as zgrep too (C-u grep all buffers but non--file buffers). C-s Multi Occur buffer or marked buffers. (C-u toggle force searching current-buffer). C-c o Switch other window. C-c C-o Switch other frame. C-M-% Query replace regexp in marked buffers. M-% Query replace in marked buffers. C-c = Ediff current buffer with candidate. If two marked buffers ediff those buffers. M-= Ediff merge current buffer with candidate. If two marked buffers ediff merge those buffers. C-= Toggle Diff buffer with saved file without quitting. M-U Revert buffer without quitting. C-x C-s Save buffer without quitting. M-D Delete marked buffers and quit. C-c d Delete buffer without quitting helm. M-m Toggle all marks. M-a Mark all. C-] Toggle details. C-c a Show hidden buffers. C-M-SPC Mark all buffers with same type (color) than current.

Helm Find Files

Tips

Navigation summary

For a better experience you can enable auto completion by setting `helm-ff-auto-update-initial-value' to non-nil in your init file. It is not enabled by default to not confuse new users.

Use `C-j' (persistent action) on a directory to go down one level

On a symlinked directory a prefix arg will allow expanding to its true name.

Use `C-l' on a directory to go up one level

Use `C-r' to walk back the resulting tree of all the `C-l' you did

Note: The tree is reinitialized each time you enter a new tree with `C-j' or by entering some pattern in prompt.

Find file at point

Helm is using `ffap' partially or completely to find file at point depending on value of `helm-ff-guess-ffap-filenames'. You can use full `ffap' by setting this to non-nil (annoying). Default value is nil which make `ffap' working partially.

Find file at number line

With something like this at point:

~/elisp/helm/helm.el:1234

Helm will find this file at line number 1234.

Find url at point

When an url is found at point, helm expand to that url only. Pressing RET jump to that url using `browse-url-browser-function'.

Find mail at point

When a mail address is found at point helm expand to this email address prefixed by "mailto:". Pressing RET open a message buffer with this mail address.

Quick pattern expansion

Enter `~/' at end of pattern to quickly reach home directory

Enter `/' at end of pattern to quickly reach root of your file system

Enter `./' at end of pattern to quickly reach `default-directory' (initial start of session)

If you are already in `default-directory' this will move cursor on top.

Enter `../' at end of pattern will reach upper directory, moving cursor on top

NOTE: This is different to using `C-l' in that `C-l' don't move cursor on top but stay on previous subdir name.

Enter any environment var (e.g. `$HOME') at end of pattern, it will be expanded

You can yank any valid filename after pattern, it will be expanded

Helm find files is fuzzy matching (start on third char entered)

e.g. "fob" or "fbr" will complete "foobar" but "fb" will wait for a third char for completing.

Use `C-u C-j' to watch an image or `C-'

`C-j' on a filename will expand in helm-buffer to this filename

Second hit on `C-j' will display buffer filename. Third hit on `C-j' will kill buffer filename. NOTE: `C-u C-j' will display buffer directly.

To browse images directories turn on `helm-follow-mode' and navigate with arrow keys

You can also use `helm-follow-action-forward' and `helm-follow-action-backward' (`C-').

You can turn off/on (toggle) autoupdate completion at any moment with `C-DEL'

It is useful when auto completion is enabled and when trying to create a new file or directory you want to prevent helm trying to complete what you are writing. NOTE: On a terminal C- may not work, use in this case C-c .

You can create a new directory and a new file at the same time

Just write the path in prompt and press `'. e.g. You can create "~/new/newnew/newnewnew/my_newfile.txt".

To create a new directory, add a "/" at end of new name and press

To create a new file just write the filename not ending with "/"

Recursive search from helm find files

You can use helm browse project (see binding below)

• With no prefix arg
If your current directory is under version control with one of git or hg and you have installed helm-ls-git and/or helm-ls-hg https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm-ls-git.git https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm-ls-hg you will see all your files under version control, otherwise you will be back to helm-find-files.
• With one prefix arg
You will see all the files under this directory and other subdirectories (recursion) and this list of files will be cached.
• With two prefix args
same but the cache will be refreshed.

You can start a recursive search with Locate of Find (See commands below)

With Locate you can use a local db with a prefix arg. If the localdb doesn't already exists, you will be prompted for its creation, if it exists and you want to refresh it, give two prefix args.

Insert filename at point or complete filename at point

On insertion (no completion, i.e nothing at point):

• `C-c i' => insert absolute file name.
• `C-u C-c i' => insert abbreviate file name.
• `C-u C-u C-c i' => insert relative file name.

On completion:

• target starts by ~/ => insert abbreviate file name.
• target starts by / or [a-z]:/ => insert full path.
• otherwise => insert relative file name.

Using wildcard to select multiple files

Use of wilcard is supported to give a set of files to an action:

e.g. You can copy all the files with ".el" extension by using "*.el" and then run your copy action.

You can do the same but with "**.el" (note the two stars), this will select recursively all ".el" files under current directory.

NOTE: When using an action that involve an external backend (e.g. grep), using "**" is not advised (even if it works fine) because it will be slower to select all your files, you have better time letting the backend doing it, it will be faster. However, if you know you have not many files it is reasonable to use this, also using not recursive wilcard (e.g. "*.el") is perfectly fine for this.

This feature ("**") is activated by default with the option `helm-file-globstar'. The directory selection with "**foo/" like bash shopt globstar option is not supported yet.

Copying renaming asynchronously

If you use async library (if you have installed helm from MELPA you do) you can enable async for copying/renaming etc... your files by enabling `dired-async-mode'.

Note that even when async is enabled, running a copy/rename action with a prefix arg will execute action synchronously, it will follow also the first file of the marked files in its destination directory.

Bookmark your `helm-find-files' session

You can bookmark your `helm-find-files' session with `C-x r m'. You can retrieve later these bookmarks easily by using M-x helm-filtered-bookmarks or from the current `helm-find-files' session just hitting `C-x r b'.

Run Gid from `helm-find-files'

You can navigate to a project containing an ID file created with the `mkid' command from id-utils, and run the `gid' command which will use the symbol at point in `helm-current-buffer' as default.

Commands

C-x C-f Run Locate (C-u to specify locate db, M-n insert basename of candidate) C-x C-d Browse project (`C-u' recurse, `C-u C-u' recurse and refresh db) C-c / Run Find shell command from this directory. C-s Run Grep (C-u Recursive). M-g p Run Pdfgrep on marked files. M-g z Run zgrep (C-u Recursive). M-g a Run AG grep on current directory. M-g g Run git-grep on current directory. C-c g Run gid (id-utils). M-. Run Etags (C-u use thing-at-point `C-u C-u' reload cache) M-R Rename File (C-u Follow). M-% Query replace on marked files. M-C Copy File (C-u Follow). M-B Byte Compile File (C-u Load). M-L Load File. M-S Symlink File. M-H Hardlink file. M-D Delete File. M-K Kill buffer candidate without quitting. C-c d Delete file without quitting. M-e Switch to Eshell. M-! Eshell command on file (C-u Apply on marked files, otherwise treat them sequentially). C-c = Ediff file. M-= Ediff merge file. C-c i Complete file name at point. C-c o Switch other window. C-c C-o Switch other frame. C-c C-x Open file with external program (C-u to choose). C-c X Open file externally with default tool. M-l Rotate Image Left. M-r Rotate Image Right. C-l Go down precedent directory. M-p Switch to last visited directories history. C-c h Switch to file name history. M-i Show file properties in a tooltip. M-a Mark all visibles candidates. C-c DEL Toggle auto expansion of directories. M-u Unmark all candidates, visibles and invisibles. C-c C-a Gnus attach files to message buffer. C-c p Print file, (C-u to refresh printers list). C-{ Enlarge helm window. C-} Narrow helm window. C-] Toggle basename/fullpath. C-c r Find file as root. C-x C-v Find alternate file. C-c @ Insert org link.

Helm read file name

Tips

If you are here, you are probably using a vanilla command like `find-file' helmized by `helm-mode', this is cool, but it is even better for your file navigation to use `helm-find-files' which is fully featured.

Navigation

Enter `~/' at end of pattern to quickly reach home directory

Enter `/' at end of pattern to quickly reach root of your file system

Enter `./' at end of pattern to quickly reach `default-directory' (initial start of session)

If you are in `default-directory' move cursor on top.

Enter `../' at end of pattern will reach upper directory, moving cursor on top

NOTE: This different to using `C-l' in that `C-l' don't move cursor on top but stay on previous subdir name.

You can complete with partial basename (start on third char entered)

E.g. "fob" or "fbr" will complete "foobar" but "fb" will wait for a third char for completing.

Persistent actions

By default `helm-read-file-name' use the persistent actions of `helm-find-files'

Use `C-u C-j' to watch an image

`C-j' on a filename will expand in helm-buffer to this filename

Second hit on `C-j' will display buffer filename. Third hit on `C-j' will kill buffer filename. NOTE: `C-u C-j' will display buffer directly.

To browse images directories turn on `helm-follow-mode' and navigate with arrow keys

Delete characters backward

When you want to delete backward characters, e.g. to create a new file or directory, autoupdate may keep updating to an existent directory preventing you from doing so. In this case, type C- and then . This should not be needed when copying/renaming files because autoupdate is disabled by default in that case. NOTE: On a terminal C- may not work, use in this case C-c .

Create new directory and files

Create a new directory and a new file at the same time

You can create a new directory and a new file at the same time, just write the path in prompt and press . E.g. You can create "~/new/newnew/newnewnew/my_newfile.txt".

To create a new directory, add a "/" at end of new name and press

To create a new file just write the filename not ending with "/"

_NOTE_: File and directory creation work only in some commands (e.g `find-file') and will not work in other commands where it is not intended to return a file or a directory (e.g `list-directory').

Commands

C-l Go down precedent directory. C-c DEL Toggle auto expansion of directories. C-] Toggle basename. C-c h File name history. C/M-RET Maybe return empty string (unless `must-match'). C-o Goto next source. Goto previous source.

Helm Generic files

Tips

Locate

You can add after writing search pattern any of the locate command line options. e.g. -b, -e, -n ...etc. See Man locate for more infos.

Some other sources (at the moment recentf and file in current directory sources) support the -b flag for compatibility with locate when they are used with it.

Browse project

When your directory is not under version control, don't forget to refresh your cache when files have been added/removed in your directory.

Find command

Recursively search files using "find" shell command.

Candidates are all filenames that match all given globbing patterns. This respects the options `helm-case-fold-search' and `helm-findutils-search-full-path'.

You can pass arbitrary options directly to find after a "*" separator. For example, this would find all files matching "book" that are larger than 1 megabyte:

book * -size +1M

Commands

C-] Toggle basename. C-s Run grep (C-u recurse). M-g z Run zgrep. C-c g Run gid (id-utils). M-g p Run Pdfgrep on marked files. M-C Copy file(s) M-R Rename file(s). M-S Symlink file(s). M-H Hardlink file(s). M-D Delete file(s). M-B Byte compile file(s) (C-u load) (elisp). M-L Load file(s) (elisp). C-= Ediff file. C-c = Ediff merge file. C-c o Switch other window. M-i Show file properties. M-. Run etags (C-u use tap, C-u C-u reload DB). C-w Yank text at point. C-c C-x Open file with external program (C-u to choose). C-c X Open file externally with default tool. C-c @ Insert org link.

Helm Grep

Tips

You can start grep with a prefix arg to recurse in subdirectories

You can use wild card when selecting files (e.g. *.el)

You can grep in many differents directories by marking files or wild cards

You can save your results in a `helm-grep-mode' buffer, see commands below

Once in this buffer you can use emacs-wgrep to edit your changes.

Important

Grepping on remote file will work only with grep, not ack-grep, but it is anyway bad supported as tramp doesn't support multiple process running in a short delay (less than 5s actually) among other things, so I strongly advice hitting `C-!' (i.e suspend process) before entering anything in pattern, and hit again `C-!' when your regexp is ready to send to remote process, even if helm is handling this by delaying each process at 5s. Or even better don't use tramp at all and mount your remote file system on SSHFS.

Helm Gid

Tips

Helm gid read the database created with the `mkid' command from id-utils. The name of the database file can be customized with `helm-gid-db-file-name', it is usually "ID". Helm Gid use the symbol at point as default-input. You have access to this command also from `helm-find-files' which allow you to navigate to another directory to consult its database.

Helm AG

Tips

Helm AG is different from grep or ack-grep in that it works on a directory and not a list of files. You can ignore files and directories by using a ".agignore" file, local to directory or global when placed in home directory (See AG man page for more infos). This file supports same entries as what you will find in `helm-grep-ignored-files' and `helm-grep-ignored-directories'. As always you can access helm AG from `helm-find-files'.

Commands

Next File. Precedent File. C-w Yank Text at point in minibuffer. C-c o Jump other window. C-c C-o Jump other frame. Run default action (Same as RET). C-x C-s Save to a `helm-grep-mode' enabled buffer.

M-x helm-ucs-persistent-insert Insert char. M-x helm-ucs-persistent-forward Forward char. M-x helm-ucs-persistent-backward Backward char. M-x helm-ucs-persistent-delete Delete char backward.

Helm bookmark name

Commands

C-c o Jump other window. C-d Delete bookmark. M-e Edit bookmark. C-] Toggle bookmark location visibility.

Helm eshell on file

Tips

Passing extra args after filename

Normally your command or alias will be called with file as argument. E.g.,

'candidate_file'

But you can also pass an argument or more after 'candidate_file' like this:

%s [extra_args]

'candidate_file' will be added at '%s' and your command will look at this:

'candidate_file' [extra_args]

Specify many files as args (marked files)

E.g. file1 file2 ...

Call `helm-find-files-eshell-command-on-file' with one prefix-arg Otherwise you can pass one prefix-arg from the command selection buffer. NOTE: This is not working on remote files.

With two prefix-arg before starting or from the command selection buffer the output is printed to your `current-buffer'.

Note that with no prefix-arg or a prefix-arg value of '(16) (C-u C-u) the command is called once for each file like this:

file1 file2 etc...

Commands

Uses keymap `helm-esh-on-file-map', which is not currently defined.

Helm ido virtual buffers

Commands

C-c o Switch other window. C-c C-o Switch other frame. M-g s Grep file. M-g z Zgrep file. M-D Delete file. C-c C-x Open file externally.

Helm Moccur

Tips

Matching

Multiple regexp matching is allowed, just enter a space to separate your regexps.

Matching empty lines is supported with the regexp "^$", you will get the results with only the buffer-name and the line number, you can of course save and edit these results (i.e add text to the empty line) .

Automatically matching symbol at point

You can match automatically the symbol at point, but keeping the minibuffer empty ready to write into. This is disabled by default, to enable this you have to add `helm-source-occur' and `helm-source-moccur' to `helm-sources-using-default-as-input'.

Jump to the corresponding line in the searched buffer

You can do this with `C-j' (persistent-action), to do it repetitively you can use `C-' and `C-' or enable `helm-follow-mode' with `C-c C-f'.

Saving results

Same as with helm-grep, you can save the results with `C-x C-s'. Of course if you don't save your results, you can get back your session with `helm-resume'.

Refreshing the resumed session.

When the buffer(s) where you ran helm-(m)occur have been modified, you will be warned of this with the buffer flashing to red, you can refresh the buffer by running `C-c C-u'. This can be done automatically by customizing `helm-moccur-auto-update-on-resume'.

Refreshing a saved buffer

Type `g' to update your buffer.

Edit a saved buffer

First, install wgrep https://github.com/mhayashi1120/Emacs-wgrep and then:

1) C-c C-p to edit the buffer(s). 2) C-x C-s to save your changes.

Tip: Use the excellent iedit https://github.com/tsdh/iedit to modify occurences in your buffer.

Commands

Next Buffer. Precedent Buffer. C-w Yank Text at point in minibuffer. C-c o Goto line in other window. C-c C-o Goto line in new frame.

Helm Top

Tips

Commands

Uses keymap `helm-top-map', which is not currently defined.

M-x helm-apt-show-all Show all packages. M-x helm-apt-show-only-installed Show installed packages only. M-x helm-apt-show-only-not-installed Show not installed packages only. M-x helm-apt-show-only-deinstalled Show deinstalled (not purged yet) packages only.>

Helm elisp package

Tips

Compile all your packages asynchronously

When using async (if you have installed from MELPA you do), only helm, helm-core, and magit are compiled asynchronously, if you want all your packages compiled async, add to your init file:

(setq async-bytecomp-allowed-packages '(all))

Upgrade elisp packages

On initial start (when emacs is fetching packages on remote), if helm find package to upgrade it will start in the upgradables packages view showing the packages availables to upgrade. On further starts, you will have to refresh the list with `C-c C-u', if helm find upgrades you will have a message telling you some packages are available for upgrade, you can switch to upgrade view (see below) to see what packages are available for upgrade or just hit `C-c U'. to upgrade all.

To see upgradables packages hit .

Then you can install all upgradables packages with the upgrade all action (`C-c C-u'), or upgrade only the specific packages by marking them (the new ones) and running the upgrade action (visible only when there is upgradables packages). Of course you can upgrade a single package by just running the upgrade action without marking it (`C-c u' or RET) .

WARNING You are strongly advised to RESTART emacs after UPGRADING packages.

Meaning of flags prefixing packages (Emacs-25)

• The flag "S" that prefix package names mean that this package is one of `package-selected-packages'.
This feature is only available with emacs-25.

• The flag "U" that prefix package names mean that this package is no more needed.
This feature is only available with emacs-25.

Commands

Uses keymap `helm-el-package-map', which is not currently defined.

Helm M-x

Tips

You can get help on any command with persistent action (C-j)

Prefix Args

All the prefix args passed BEFORE running `helm-M-x' are ignored, you should get an error message if you do so. When you want to pass prefix args, pass them AFTER starting `helm-M-x', you will see a prefix arg counter appearing in mode-line notifying you the number of prefix args entered.
