Support +/$text command line argument

[luca020400]

This is a feature found in vim and for example used by Linux kernel test robots to give context about warnings and/or failures.

e.g. vim +/imem_size +623 drivers/net/ipa/ipa_mem.c

Means to search for imem_size and move cursor to line 623.

The behavior found in VIM is as follows:

• If line:col is specified before the search starts from that position and if a match is found the cursor jumps to the match (also wrapping around the buffer).
• If the search if specified before and a match is found it highlights the search field and then moves the cursor as specified in line:col.

As for multi-file handling it applies the last rule in command line takes over.

Not sure if that's something you'd be interesting to support but it's quite handy.

There's a crude implementation here https://github.com/luca020400/micro/commit/894043ae3f9704d2d6bb91c082be618f385ddb58 that implements it in an hacky way via .Search (couldn't find a proper API for now)

Ty.

Implements a very similar behavior to what I see on VIM that also take into account the order of commands passed via cmdline, shall I open a PR directly?

I like that it implements Plus backslash search functionality and the vim aspect is pretty cool too. I commented on another avenue for executing the search functionality using a buff pane which may help.

And maybe prudent to observe that if plus backslash search is called without a line column command line argument then the search fails.

Vim handles differently than the branch cited iow fwiw

Ah yea I completely forgot about +/text only usecase, my bad, will fix tomorrow

IMO this would be a nice feature, so why not.

No offense looks nice but the +/text only use case?

works just fine, I just missed adding None in the switch case

Sorry, I don't know why it's not working for me (I don't think), as I get different results than vim. For instance, +/text only works for me if the command arg +/line precedes it. Any guesses why it could differ?

Here's my command verbatim
./micro +/Goto internal/action/command.go

I noticed the pull request code was updated last week. Did you incorporate the additional switch in this (commit that none into the pr branch)?

Here's my command verbatim ./micro +/Goto internal/action/command.go

Works just fine here... it jumps to line 44
Same as ./micro internal/action/command.go +/Goto

The arg matching logic doesn't care about the order of files and +/$text at all

The PR has the None switch patch included
