CtrlSpace GitIgnore

Sounds reasonable. 👍 Goes to TODO. I should have some vacation soon and I plan to spend some time on processing that TODO list :).

Perhaps the following function might come in handy for escaping special characters (other than the *), netrw Gitignore only escapes the ..

function! s:EscapeString (string)
  let string=a:string
  " Escape regex characters. See http://www.regular-expressions.info/characters.html
  let string = escape(string, '^$.|?*+(){[\')
  return string
endfunction

Nice holidays !

After latest changes this goal (to obey .gitignore) could be achieved easily with the Ag support: https://github.com/szw/vim-ctrlspace#gctrlspace_glob_command. Ag obeys .gitignore out of the box.

It works with

if executable("ag")
  let g:ctrlspace_glob_command = 'ag -l --nocolor -g ""'
endif

instead (no dot). Can you remove the trailing \r when listing the files? Ag's output on Windows gives them with a \r\n separator.

👍 Thanks @Konfekt, you are right. I've added the CR removal and improved the example in the docs. Cheers!
