[Feature Request] Grep with FZF #71

Closed gbrlsnchs closed 5 years ago

gbrlsnchs commented 5 years ago

First of all, thanks for this plugin, it's great and works very well.

However, I noticed there is no way to grep files using FZF, only skim. Are there any technical reasons for that? It would be awesome if grepping was available for FZF, as that's the fuzzy finder I'm used to.

Thanks!

yeah, it is impossible with fzf

Would you mind describing what prevents it to work with FZF? I'm new to Kakoune and would like to help, but of course I don't want to be banging my head against the wall with an unsolvable issue...

also, you can use skim only for grepping, and fzf for everything else. This is default behavior.

I see... I still think the simple filtering behavior would be enough, though... something like rg --line-number . | fzf works okay. I really don't want to have two fuzzy finders installed... well, I guess I will try something that satisfies my needs myself. Thanks nonetheless!
