ctrlp.vim VS vim-grepper

ctrl-p

use a fuzzy finder, I like https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim (when I was a vim user, it was https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim)

Ctrlp.vim existed prior to VSCode.

Fuzzy file search: fzf, ctrlp

Set vim as your default text editor, that could give you additional motivation :) regarding plugins, it really depends of what you use now, but there are still some great general-use plugins: ctrl + p nerdtree git blame ack to beggin with

check nerdtree and ctrlp

Ctrl+p: A plugin to quickly jump to a file by name.

To open your files, use something like ctrl-p Alternative is fzf.vim

I'm curious, what specifically works better about their IDE for you in the case of many files? Do they now have good global refactoring tools, like you can change a class name in library A and have it automatically be updated in library B and application C that depend on and use it? And without the actual files for such being open? (I'm reduced to what's essentially mass search-replace with https://github.com/mhinz/vim-grepper/ but it does the job and importantly helps update files I might not have open buffers for. Still a step down from what's available in JavaLand. I remember someone was working on a library to build some modern refactoring tools for Lisp but I don't know how far that's gotten.)

J'aime bien https://github.com/mhinz/vim-grepper Et https://github.com/kevinhwang91/nvim-bqf Pour ce travail.

I had a look at your planned modules and thought I could swamp you with some more ideas, to possibly inspire you to do a few of them: - since you are thinking about making mini.quickfix: - vim-grepper: eases configuration of grep tools like rg and integration with quickfix - recipe.nvim: instead of defining 'makeprg', making a build step, which can send errors to the quickfix and a run step which runs in a floating terminal - qf.nvim: adds some additional stuff to quickfix, on top of bqf, like a proper quickfix toggle command, which I never want to live without again

use a grep tool plugin, I like https://github.com/mhinz/vim-grepper for this.

This is great when you want to jump to a specific place.

I also use vim-grepper (mapped to leader-g) for finding in files and populating the quickfix list.

Why not just using vim-grepper? :p

Not an answer to your question but vim-grepper allows you to use ag already (if you are using it from grepping).

This wouldn’t be a direct replacement for searching, but could you create/find a tool which uses perl regex to fill the location window? e.g you can use vim-grepper and modify the rg command with --pcre to use the pcre2 engine.

Could you expand on how this differs from vim-grepper?
