Combine `tabs` and `live_grep`

[alopatindev]

Thanks for this awesome plugin!

I'd like to have some kind of universal search: basically live_grep that shows matching results from currently open tabs as priority.

Any suggestion how to achieve this behavior? Thanks.

Have you tried :FzfLua lines?

Thanks, that helped. Wish we had composable providers (+ outputs deduplication), so any of them could be easily combined together.

If anyone interested — I was able to get behavior close enough to what I was looking for. The solution is based on tabs, lines and grep providers. Additionally I made files search based on git_files and files.

Both use tab drop, which switches to existing tab, if the file is already open. Items from currently opened tabs have different color.

Limitations: no proper deduplication and can't switch to new unsaved tabs.

It's here. Usage:

let g:rg_opts = '
    \ --line-number --no-column --no-heading --fixed-strings --smart-case --no-ignore --hidden --follow --color always
    \ --glob "*.{c,C,cfg,conf,config,cpp,css,cxx,ebuild,go,h,hpp,hs,html,ini,j2,jade,java,js,lua,md,markdown,nvim,php,pl,py,rb,rs,scala,sh,sql,styl,vim}"
    \ --glob "{Dockerfile,.gitignore,README,INSTALL,Makefile,Gemfile}"
    \ --glob "!{.git,build,node_modules,vendor,target}/*" '
let g:fd_opts = '--type f --follow --exclude .git --exclude build --exclude node_modules --exclude vendor --exclude target'

Looks great! Good job deciphering the internal code, I didn’t have API in mind when I designed this so the documentation isn’t really there.
