incremental search like helm-grep or helm-etags-select #27

Hi, is there a way to get the auto-searching behaviour like helm-grep? So I do not have to press enter to start searching and can change the string?

syohex commented 10 years ago

Sorry. There is not such command or feature.

I think he meant helm-do-grep. You can try helm-do-grep, as it updates its candidates as we type instantly. Prefix argument to helm-do-grep makes it search recursively.

Another example is helm-etags-select, built into Helm by default.

Exactly, I tried looking into the source configurations but have not found the difference, maybe you can point me at the attribute to set?

@ksjogo Are you referring to helm-do-grep or helm-etags-select? This is helm-etags-select in action:

out

If you want M-. to list like that, bind it to helm-etags-select.

@ksjogo Ah, I think you meant the equivalent in helm-gtags, then I think we haven't got such a thing. Maybe I was missing, but currently we have to enter a tag into a prompt, press . Only then the Helm interface is displayed for us to select the filtered results from gtags.

Doesn't helm-gtags-select resolve this issue?
