kak-live-grep

Search your project files live using Kakoune's built-in tools.

Installation

Source live-grep.kak in your kakrc, or use a plugin manager.

Usage

Invoke the live-grep command to start a live grep. The toolsclient will be used if it is defined and active. Type your query into the prompt and review the results as you go.

Press <ret> to complete the search, or <a-ret> to complete the search and select all matches of the query in the results buffer. Auto-selecting the query matches allows for a very quick find/replace workflow when combined with grep-write.kak.

The live grep utilizes the grepcmd option and the *grep* buffer. All of the existing grep commands will work with live grep results.

Configuration

Face: LiveGrepMatch - Highlights the prompt matches in the buffer. Defaults to bold + underline.
Option: live_grep_timeout (int) - Adjust how responsively the results are updated. Lower timeouts will worsen performance. Defaults to 300 ms.
Option: live_grep_results_limit (int) - The maximum number of results that will be displayed. Defaults to 10000.
