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.
This README is only the tip of the iceberg. Make sure to read :h grepper and
