feat: ability to search in installed apidocs

i think this feature is useful. maybe it's a little crude, but it's better than not having the feature at all...

[luckasRanarison]

Intersting, I didn't know I needed this until now. But naming it DevdocsGrep would be better I think.

[emmanueltouzery]

Sure, I can rename it a little later today! Why I wrote it was crude...

• it doesn't respect the setting to pipe though glow
• it shows the internal filenames such as 1.md instead of the real keys such as.. String.reverse or whatever

But going all the way would be quite a lot more work, and possibly too slow to be useful. I guess this is good enough, and can be improved though time potentially.

[emmanueltouzery]

modified the PR to now use the Grep terminology.

I think displaying the raw markdown is okay in this case, using glow actually doesn't make sense. I found that we can hook into the live_grep builtin and change the display by passing a custom entry_maker. Having this with floating window would aso be nice but it seems that we can't directly change the default selection mapping, so that'd require some silly workaround. I'll take a closer look and try some stuff later but I think it can be improved.

[luckasRanarison]

So I improved the result display format and made it a little bit fancy... I also want to customize the other pickers now...

• it doesn't respect the setting to pipe though glow

I only realize it now, I thought you were talking about the previewer. Yes, the picker would just open the file in the current implementation.

[luckasRanarison]

We could get the last preview buffer using telescope.state but the main problem is making it work with glow. We don't have enough information so we'd have to pass the entire buffer to glow, and you know what'd would happen with large files... I also don't know how we can implement jumping in this case. Any thoughts on this?

[emmanueltouzery]

Yes I think if we can't cut up the file at least to a large degree it's not going to work out. Otherwise of course we could use the telescope live_grep preview code to see how they focus a certain line, if they can do it presumably we can too, but yes, splitting is the issue.

Otherwise I didn't test what you did yet, but it's looking great!

[luckasRanarison]

Glow output doesn't necessarily match the original one so jumping to the specified line won't always work. But this feature is still great and I just learned about conceallevel, with it set to 3 previewing raw markdown in neovim with treesitter is almost good as using glow. I'm working on some fixes now and I'll set it to 3 by default.
