Relax the helm-rg requirement or consider an alternative to helm-rg #179

Open Flowdalic opened 8 months ago

Flowdalic commented 8 months ago

The last commit of helm-rg was in summer 2020. That is over three years ago. The project appears unmaintained and issues like https://github.com/cosmicexplorer/helm-rg/issues/39 suggest that it could break in the near future.

Furthermore, helm-rg, as it started to show incomplete results for me. Unfortunately, I was unable to pin point the exact cause, therefore I uninstalled it. However, helm-projectile keeps on asking me to install it again.

Could you please relax helm-projectile's connection to helm-rg? For example, by making it optional. Or use an alternative to helm-rg.

I myself stopped using Helm a long time ago, but PRs are always welcome!

Out of curiosity, and slightly OT: what do you use instead (if you use any alternative at all)?

bbatsov commented 8 months ago

I didn't use many of Helm's features, so I moved to a simpler minibuffer completion frameworks (first ivy, then more recently vertico).

I have just opened a pull request to helm-rg, it seems there is a way to disable hyperlinks

I haven't tested it yet, but will let you know.
