Use your favorite grep tool
(ag,
ack, git grep,
ripgrep,
pt,
sift,
findstr,
grep) to start an asynchronous search. All matches will be put in a
quickfix or location list.
This plugin works with Vim and Neovim on Unix-like systems. It's mostly working
on Windows as well.
Disclaimer: From my point of view it's feature-complete, so I won't add new
features or put much time into reviewing complex PRs.
- Prompt: Use
:Grepperto open a prompt, enter your query, optionally cycle through the
list of tools, fire up the search. - Operator: Use
the current visual selection to pre-fill the prompt or start searching right
away. - Commands:
:Greppersupports a wide range of flags which makes it extremely flexible.
All supported tools come with their own command for convenience:
:GrepperGit,:GrepperAg, and so on. They're all built atop of:Grepper. - Custom tools: Changing
the behaviour of the default tools is very easy. And so is adding new tools.
If you like ack.vim and
ag.vim, you will love vim-grepper.
