Having the ability to define one's custom types would be great. In ack, I defined for instance the i18n type, which matches both xml and xliff.

Second. I guess I can recompile with my own additions, but that's annoying.

paoloantinori commented 10 years ago

Lack of xml in particular is really surprising.

I would also vouch for something similar to ack's "--type-set" + ~/.ackrc functionality to define custom file types. Having to use -G is not as convenient.
