Change Log

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. (Thus, it won't list single bugfixes or improved documentation.)

1.4 - 2016-11-11

Added

  • Probably the most exciting change: two new flags: -buffer and -buffers. By default Grepper recursively searches from the current working directory. Using -buffer will search the current "buffer" and -buffers all loaded "buffers". I put the buffers in quotes, because the grep tools obviously work on the underlying files, not the buffers itself. So, for best results, save before searching. Everyone loves demos, so here it is: demo.
  • g:grepper now gets exposed. That is, after running :Grepper for the first time, :echo g:grepper will show you exactly what default entries are used by the plugin. If you set g:grepper in your vimrc already, it will be enriched by all missing default entries. So, if you want to add a new tool or change the defaults of an existing tool, have a look at them via :echo g:grepper.tools g:grepper.git.
  • New option: g:grepper.simple_prompt. If you work in small windows or your grep tool just takes a lot of options, the prompt quickly becomes too long. When this option is set, only the name of the grep tool, without any options, will be shown.
  • When using the operator or visual selection to start a search, -- is now put in front of the quoted query. This avoids issues when searching for anything starting with -, since it marks the end of options of the grep tool.
  • The quickfix/location window always shows the executed command in the statusline. Even after closing and reopening it! This requires your Vim to be recent enough to accept a third argument for :h setqflist().

Changed

  • Due to what I believe is a bug in Vim, ripgrep, pt, and ack are forced to run synchronuously at the moment. See: #65. Suggestions welcome.
  • Default commands got prefixed: :Ag -> :GrepperAg and so on.
  • Handle consecutive spaces in a query. Previously those were replaced by a single space, because of the way the flag parser for :Grepper worked.
  • The :Grepper command doesn't use -bar anymore. This avoids pipe escaping madness and you can use exactly the same commands you would use in the shell. This would just work the way you expect it to work: 
    :Grepper -tool ag -query 'foo|bar' | head -n2
  • I revamped the README to be a much shorter and put all the details in the wiki instead. Moreover, two new animated GIFs!

1.3 - 2016-09-26

Added

  • Async support for Vim.
  • Default commands for all supported tools: :Grep for grep, :Ack for ack, etc. Only exception: :GG for git to avoid conflicts with fugitive.
  • Support for ripgrep
  • -noprompt flag. Especially useful together with -grepprg or -cword.
  • -highlight flag that enables search highlighting for simple queries.
  • Flag completion for :Grepper. Compare :Grepper <c-d> to :Grepper -<c-d>.
  • $+ placeholder for -grepprg. Gets replaced by all opened files.
  • $. placeholder for -grepprg. Gets replaced by the current buffer name.

Changed

  • Use stdout handler instead of tempfile for async output.
  • Use 'nowrap' in quickfix window.
  • When using -cword, add the query to the input history.
  • &grepprg does not get touched anymore.

Removed

  • Quickfix mappings in favor of dedicated plugins like vim-qf or QFEnter.
  • -cword!. Was inconsistent syntax in the first place and can now be replaced with -cword -noprompt.
  • Support for vim-dispatch. See this commit.
  • Sift was removed as default tool, because it either needs grepprg = 'sift $* .' (which makes restricting the search to a subdirectory quite hard) or an allocated PTY (which means fighting with all kinds of escape sequences). If you're a Go nut, use pt instead.

1.2 - 2016-01-23

This is mainly a bugfix release and the last release before 2.0 that will bring quite some changes.

Changed

  • The default order of the tools is this now: ['ag', 'ack', 'grep', 'findstr', 'sift', 'pt', 'git']. This was done because not everyone is a git nut like me.

1.1 - 2016-01-18

50 commits.

Added

  • CHANGELOG.md according to keepachangelog.com
  • Support for sift
  • <esc> can be used to cancel the prompt now (in addition to <c-c>)
  • -grepprg flag (allows more control about the exact command used)
  • For ag versions older than 0.25, --column --nogroup --noheading is used automatically instead of --vimgrep
  • FAQ (see :h grepper-faq)
  • Mappings in quickfix window: o, O, S, v, V, T (see :h grepper-mappings)
  • using -dispatch implies -quickfix
  • The quickfix window uses the full width at the bottom of the screen. Location lists are opened just below their accompanying windows instead.

Changed

  • Option "open" enabled by default
  • Option "switch" enabled by default
  • Option "jump" disabled by default
  • The "!" for :Grepper was removed. Use :Grepper -jump instead.
  • improved vim-dispatch support
  • g:grepper.tools had to contain executables before. It takes arbitrary names now.
  • Never forget query when switching tools (previously we remembered the query only when the operator was used)

1.0 - 2015-12-09

First release!
