vim-ripgrep VS nvim-bqf

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]

Quickfix list: nvim-bqf

For the Telescope method, you can install nvim-bqf, so that after you press Ctrl-Q on the telescope results, you can curate the results. See https://github.com/kevinhwang91/nvim-bqf#filter-with-signs

You can get some of that behaviour with nvim-bqf

This is what I have been using. That with better quickfix is awesome https://github.com/kevinhwang91/nvim-bqf

This is an essential plugin for me, pretty much the only thing it doesn't do is what you are asking, but its on the projects todo list https://github.com/kevinhwang91/nvim-bqf

For an instant preview for the item in quickfix, please try nvim-bqf. It is so damn good!!!!

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

When it comes to the quickfix, I can't recommend kevinhwang91/nvim-bqf enough. It's a great plugin that makes using the qflist a breeze.

There are a number of plugins to edit the quickfix window, I like: https://github.com/kevinhwang91/nvim-bqf
