### Description This package solves the following problems for me: - A single function call interface to grep and therefore keybinding. - Selects the grep based on context: Inside a git-repository, runs `git-grep', otherwise runs `ag'. - Uses helm to select candidates and jumps to the given line with RET. - A second interactive function `helm-grepint-grep-root'. This runs the grepping inside a root directory. By default this has been defined for the git-grep where it greps from the git root directory. - Inside a huge git repository one can create a file defined in the variable `helm-grepint-default-config-ag-presearch-marker-file' and it will set that directory as the root directory for grepping. It uses `ag' instead of `git-grep' as the grep. - The grepping is case-insensitive by default, but if an upper-case letter is given case-sensitive grepping is done. The following enables the aforementioned: (require 'helm-grepint) (helm-grepint-set-default-config-latest) (global-set-key (kbd "C-c g") #'helm-grepint-grep) (global-set-key (kbd "C-c G") #'helm-grepint-grep-root) ### Key bindings within helm - `RET'/`F1' selects an item and closes the helm session. - `F2' runs the grep command in a `grep-mode' buffer. - `Right-arrow' selects the item, but does not close the helm session. This is similar as `helm-occur'. Default helmkeybindings for this feature are also available (`C-j' and `C-z'). - `M-c' cycles case sensitiveness. ### Customization Look into the function `helm-grepint-set-default-config' to see how the default cases are configured. Also look into `helm-grepint-add-grep-config' for more details on what is required for a new grep to be defined. ### Notable changes Version 1.6.0 - Add `helm-grepint-regexp-quote-pre-input' option enable quoting of regular expression characters in the pre-input string. It is disabled by default. Version 1.5.0 - Use templates in the :arguments of `helm-grepint-add-grep-config'. Use the templated approach for both `git-grep' and `ag' configurations. Version 1.4.0 - The F2 action runs the command and displays the results in `grep-mode'. Previously the grep-mode was only faked. Version 1.3.0 - Make minimum pattern length configurable with `helm-grepint-min-pattern-length'. - Use `helm-mm-split-pattern' to split the pattern. Supports now backslash escaped spaces. - Make pattern processing altogether configurable with grep-property `:modify-pattern-function'. - Remove highlighting with `helm-grep-highlight-match' to fix a bug. Version 1.2.0 - Obsoleted `helm-grepint-get-grep-config' in favor of `helm-grepint-grep-config'. - Make the ignore-case a separate argument in the grep configuration. This way it can be toggled on and off easily. - Add case-fold-search support (case-(in)sensitiveness). Add Helm keybinding `M-c' to control it. - Add smart case-sensitiveness checking. - Add a new configuration `helm-grepint-set-default-config-v1.2.0' which makes the smart cases-sensitiveness as the default. The configuration is now the `helm-grepint-set-default-config-latest'. Version 1.1.1 - Add `--ignore-case' argument for `git-grep' to make it consistent with `ag' in the `helm-grepint-set-default-config'. Version 1.1.0 - Fix incompatibilities with recent helm versions. - Add `helm-grepint-candidate-number-limit' variable to control the number of candidates instead of hard-coding 500. - Create a new example configuration which adds the ag-presearch functionality. The example configurations are now versioned: `helm-grepint-set-default-config-v1.0.0' and `helm-grepint-set-default-config-v1.1.0'. - Change the `helm-grepint-set-default-config' function to an alias of `helm-grepint-set-default-config-v1.0.0'. Add new alias `helm-grepint-set-default-config-latest' which points to `helm-grepint-set-default-config-v1.1.0'. Version 1.0.0 - Add action to create a `grep-mode' buffer from the helm-buffer. - Add universal-argument to manually ask the used grep configuration. Version 0.5.5 - Fix swooping into multiple files within a helm session. Previously it would change default-directory every swoop. - Add action to open the helm buffer in grep-mode. This enables the use of e.g. `wgrep'. - Add `helm-grepint-grep-ask-root' and set it as default for ag.
