marks.nvim VS vim-ripgrep

Hello, one day (today) I got tired of using built-in `marks` command output, so I wrote a simple function, which displays all my marks in my editor. For now I don't want to use plugins like marks.nvim or harpoon by Primeagen to get myself into NeoVim Lua API a bit. How can I improve it, for example, to show information humanized, or go to mark by pressing on it, etc?

I don't have this workflow to cycle between 3 or 4 files, but I think "marks" like plugins could help with this: marks.nvim, harpoon, etc

list all marks to jump to (I use marks.nvim but any equivalent would do)

At least for marks it helped me to try this plugin: https://github.com/chentoast/marks.nvim

marks.nvim. In the sign column it shows your marks.

Issues like this https://github.com/chentoast/marks.nvim/issues/62 (high CPU) give me cause for concern with Marks, although, by the looks of it, it is a problem with Neovim in general.

I'm also using marks.nvim which helps me see where the marks exactly are.

Harpoon plugin was written for this exact scenario, but I try to use global marks for this. I use marks.nvim plugin to signify lines with a mark, Teleform marks, and which-key.nvim (w/mark preview).

I'm using marks.nvim to show marks in the gutter, and every time I format using lua vim.lsp.buf.format(), all my marks get deleted. Is there any way to prevent this or is just a bug?

I use chentoast/marks.nvim, which-key.nvim and :telescope marks. This combination of plugins makes working with marks much easier.

But I mostly use ctrlp when I work with projects. A can recommend vim-ripgrep too, it lets you find strings/patterns in your project files.

I use vim-ripgrep and the result is directly addressed into the quickfix.

Sometimes I still use https://github.com/jremmen/vim-ripgrep to ripgrep non-interactively with more complex searches over bigger projects, which populates the quickfix list, the rely on bqf for extra functionality

which is what I was looking for in this regard, it allows you to specify rg arguments, like -tlua to only search in lua files for example. For me this was something that was missing, I was using https://github.com/jremmen/vim-ripgrep before that, which I still use as it is muscle memory.

In emacs we can do incremental search through an entire directory with projectile-ripgrep. The only thing I know that works more or less the same in vim is https://github.com/jremmen/vim-ripgrep, but the results only appear after I enter the hole expression and press enter, and not incrementally. Also, projectile-ripgrep lets me use a regex instead of just normal text as a query.

project-wide search (I use vim-ripgrep but any grep-finder would do)

I'm running the kitty terminal emulator with fzf and https://github.com/jremmen/vim-ripgrep installed and integrated w/ VIM-Vi IMproved 8.2 (or I believe I do). Please refer to this github link to see my vimrc.

I’m no expert, but I believe ripgrep will do PCRE, and there are more than a couple vim plugins that’ll leverage it. I happen to use vim-ripgrep, which is good enough for me, but not sure if it’ll let you get at the PCRE option (I’d guess it should, but I haven’t checked).

If the symbol has a fairly unique name you can do something like 'grep word under cursor', there are many ways to do this, I tend to use https://github.com/jremmen/vim-ripgrep, also just :h vimgrep. For more complicated cases maybe write some minimal vimscript/lua code to for example use a more specialized grep pattern in a specific directory and make a keymap for that or something.

My question is simple: Why do we need plugin like: (jremmen/vim-ripgrep)[https://github.com/jremmen/vim-ripgrep]
