Disable escaping of chars in live grep #604
Comments
If i recall correctly it completely broke CC @elianiva |
yeah, it broke |
I too would like a nice way to search using a regex instead of just a string. I've no strong opinions on how that should work, but "grep" is a misnomer without it. |
See #670 |
Before telescope I was using clap. There, grepping simply stopped and showed an error message until the syntax of the regex was fixed. That was actually pretty usable that way. |
We no longer escape them for quite some time. Closing |
Hello !
When using live grep, some characters (see https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim/blob/master/lua/telescope/builtin/files.lua#L19) are escaped from the prompt (see https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim/blob/master/lua/telescope/builtin/files.lua#L50), in particular
*
. This makes using regex patterns impossible for searching impossible.Could it be possible to disable it/would you be open to such an option, or is there a strong reason to escape them ?
Thanks !
