vim-highlighter VS vim-grepper

https://github.com/azabiong/vim-highlighter - highlight occurrences of words, can select multiple different words at same time. Independent from lsp word highlight, or search highlight - so these highlights wont interfere with vim-highlihger . Makes it easy to spot all places where some function or variable was used. One click to un-highlight all, or specyfic word. And it takes just hotkeys: - f + Enter - add cursor word occurrences highlight

If you just need to highlight a word under cursor with some color, then try https://github.com/azabiong/vim-highlighter. I often need to match identifiers in code that I browse to quickly identify what is used where. It's a very helpful plugin for this use case.

vim-highlighter

I would like to recommend trying this plugin vim-highlighter :)

And I also found this plugin https://github.com/azabiong/vim-highlighter

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?
