P.S. I am simply using regex.h
from glibc
. This is what martanne/vis uses and it works pretty flawlessly.
Update:
gonna pause this for tonight but after some more looking at the code, I realize that the search is a monolith coming from webkit, and their controller's options do not offer regex searches.
This might mean I either hack this somehow with some ugly javascript command and eval
, or I might :gulp: have to see if I can plug this into webkit.
Hello, I'd like to add a feature to a search command so that it can do an extended regex search. I already have the test regex code prepped, and I think I know where to plug it into the Vimb (
command.c:105
?). Of course, some guidance/handholding would be very useful.If this is a patch that'd be accepted upstream, then in order to prep it properly, I have few options on my mind, once I have it working, on how to have it in Vimb:
config.h
- makes all searches into extended regexset
parameterI can probably deal with first two on my own, but would need some guidance on last two.
Also, just to avoid XY problem, this is the context: today I wanted to select a piece of text from the webpage and store it in the clipboard, and realized that
If there's a way to easily select text just with keyboard, please let me know 🪦 I have already started working on this (as mentioned I have regex code ready) and have started ~crashing vimb~ tinkering with
command_search
.
