Using --before and --after Context option with Ag and Show Results in tab/buffer #148

Closed cricrazy closed 8 years ago

When I use Ag with option to show the context using --after and --before, it still shows it in a single line. Is there a way to show the list with lines before and after?

:Ag -i --after 4 --before 4 pattern /search/path/

Is there also a way to show the results in a buffer or a tabpage, rather than quickfix window? I added this in my vimrc but it still shows the results in quickfix window.

let g:ag_lhandler="topleft lopen"

Thanks.

Discovered a CtrlSF plugin which does exactly what I requested here. Closing the issue.
