[hh9527]

so we can use like this:

rg --color ansi unwrap_or | hs | xargs vi

Can you explain exactly how it is "parsing" the ANSI color codes?

Can you explain exactly how it is "parsing" the ANSI color codes?

In this command:

rg --color ansi unwrap_or | hs | xargs vi

rg --color ansi unwrap_or will output stream with color escaped sequence, and hs could parsing it, and add some additional highlight colors to it, like this:

file1.rs:10 foo.unwrap_or(Foo::default())

unwrap_or is highlighted by rg

after hs process, it will display (assume user input 'def'):

file1.rs:10 foo.unwrap_or(Foo::default())

def is highlighted by hs

Currently, ANSI color codes pass through heatseeker more or less transparently. Is the idea for heatseeker to strip color codes from the choices it writes to stdout?
