A few suggestions #61

Thank you for the project, just discovered it from other's link.

I'm considering replacing ripgrep with igrep (only install igrep), don't know if it is possible so far. But I have a few suggestions for igrep to make it better.

  1. Support ripgrep's -w option which only show matches surrounded by word boundaries
  2. Support ripgrep's --sort=SORTBY option which sorts the result according to SORTBY like path
  3. Support ripgrep's --no-ignore option which ignores files such as .gitignore
  4. Support bindings of fold/unflod for matches of current file or fold/unfold all the other files
  5. Support filter by regex/path, which show only the typed regex paths in the tui window, or jump to the specific file based on typed regex
  6. Support horizontal/vertical context viewer options which can be turned on by default after tui window is loaded

Hi, happy to hear that you enjoy igrep. Thanks for your suggestions, I like most (all?) of them, so I will work on implementation soon.

@konradsz thats awesome! Do you also plan to introduce an easy way to replace all occurrences like in https://github.com/acheronfail/repgrep?

@Bad3r Support for replacing results wouldn't be a simple extension of what is currently there, and I believe it wouldn't align with the original idea behind igrep - an interactive way to examine grep results. I'm not definitively saying "no" but I don't want to commit to this at the moment.
