[Feature request] Support quickfix/location lists options to show `rg` search results

[pirj]

The results of rg output are shown in a decidated window which is different from the default :grep/:lgrep behaviour. The convenience of the latter two is that :cnext/:cprevious/:cfirst/:clast/... are available, and that makes --recall the default, and --next/--previous redundant as default Vim's commands already exist.

Would it be possible to add --quickfix/--location as an option to rg's window position option?

PS Thanks for LeaderF, it's by far more usable than other fuzzy finders.

I can't see any advantage over the native implementation of LeaderF.

[joerideg]

One advantage is that after running rg and outputting results in the quicklist I can then do cfdo to replace values in those files. Or is there a way to replace values currently that I am not aware of?

[joerideg]

btw I would much rather have a replace function with LeaderF's native implementation then to load them in the quickfix list

Hi. It is not an option like --quickfix or--location, but implements output by mapping in the result window.

You can output the result of filtering. Q (quickfix list) and L (location list) can be output in normal mode.

What do you think? Would you let us know what you think.

This sounds usefull!

[tamago324]

Thanks! Is this what you were looking for?

If I understand correctly this would allow me to: Put all filtered results directly in the Quick or Location results (And possibly select specific results and put them in) , which is what I needed for search and replace. Now I could do: Leaderf rg, filter stuff, hit Q and then 'cfdo %s/something/somethingelse/`

It would be even more seamless if Leaderf would output the current filter of results into a register so I could prepopulate the replace regex with that.

Yes. That understanding is correct!

It looks good to save in a register. However, it seems difficult because you can enter multiple search patterns like Leaderf rg -e "hello" -e "world".

If multiple search patterns are specified, you may be able to combine them with |

Hmmm good point. Alright then, thanks for the effort! Hope it will be in soon.

488 has been merged, so you can output it to quickfix and location list!
