= shortcut filters out everything but matching files How do I negate the filtering, that is NOT show matching files?
=
You can't. The plan is to make local filter accept matches and allow writing =!{pattern} or something analogous, but it hasn't been done yet.
=!{pattern}
My workaround for this: ( limited, for temporary panels only where zd is applicable )
zd
:select //pattern//
this efficiently means //pattern// negation, doesn't it?
Yes.
If you don't care specifically about local filter, you could do :filter !{pattern}. You'll just have to clear the filter with :filter manually later.
:filter !{pattern}
:filter
