  • bulk Multiline find-and-replace?

    But you probably wish something like wgrep (writable-grep), which is similar to wdired if you are familiar with that one. It will basically let you grep your files and display results in a buffer, then edit that buffer, and finally save changes to all referenced files.
  • The benefits of everything (in Emacs) being a buffer

    Oh yeah, it gets even more interesting in large refactors, say an involved rename that requires you check the context before you do so (like not just global search and replace). I do a search, this opens a buffer with all results, with file name, position, all that, and Emacs can allow you to "peek" into the file without even leaving the search buffer focus (i.e use a split screen). Then, use https://github.com/mhayashi1120/Emacs-wgrep to do the magic of in-place editing.
  • Question about editing Consult/Embark ripgrep results;
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 5 Aug 2022
    If you use the grepping commands from the Consult package, consult-grep, consult-git-grep or consult-ripgrep, then you’ll probably want to install and load the embark-consult package, which adds support for exporting a list of grep results to an honest grep-mode buffer, on which you can even use wgrep if you wish.

    The `Emacs-wgrep` [1] package is what allows you to edit a standard Emacs grep buffer and have the specified changes applied to all the project's files. I just recently started using it, and it's extremely handy!
