Allow using a `g:ag_max_line_len` option to truncate long lines #122

Closed nikvdp closed 7 years ago

Internally uses cut command as the pager when calling ag to stop long lines from ending up in your quickfix.

Usage: In .vimrc

let g:ag_max_line_len = 200

Rather than trimming the results, why not use something like this?

autocmd FileType qf setlocal nowrap

Didn't know about that! Still doesn't quite do the trick if the lines are ridiculously long though (e.g. minified css/js files): (this image is from after adding the autocmd line to my vimrc)

As of commit ggreer/the_silver_searcher@9e11263acf0fdf90fdcac3d028f4ba8376601031 (25 November 2015), ag supports the -W option to limit the length of outputted lines.
