Hyperlinked grep
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
This kitten allows you to search your files using `ripgrep
|
|
<https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep>`__ and open the results directly in your
|
|
favorite editor in the terminal, at the line containing the search result,
|
|
simply by clicking on the result you want.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 0.19.0
|
|
|
|
To set it up, first create :file:`~/.config/kitty/open-actions.conf` with the
|
|
following contents:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: conf
|
|
|
|
# Open any file with a fragment in vim, fragments are generated
|
|
# by the hyperlink_grep kitten and nothing else so far.
|
|
protocol file
|
|
fragment_matches [0-9]+
|
|
action launch --type=overlay --cwd=current vim +${FRAGMENT} ${FILE_PATH}
|
|
|
|
# Open text files without fragments in the editor
|
|
protocol file
|
|
mime text/*
|
|
action launch --type=overlay --cwd=current ${EDITOR} ${FILE_PATH}
|
|
|
|
Now, run a search with::
|
|
|
|
kitty +kitten hyperlinked_grep something
|
|
|
|
Hold down the :kbd:`Ctrl+Shift` keys and click on any of the result lines, to
|
|
open the file in :program:`vim` at the matching line. If you use some editor
|
|
other than :program:`vim`, you should adjust the :file:`open-actions.conf` file
|
|
accordingly.
|
|
|
|
Finally, add an alias to your shell's rc files to invoke the kitten as
|
|
:command:`hg`::
|
|
|
|
alias hg="kitty +kitten hyperlinked_grep"
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can now run searches with::
|
|
|
|
hg some-search-term
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
By default, this kitten adds hyperlinks for several parts of ripgrep output:
|
|
the per-file header, match context lines, and match lines. You can control
|
|
which items are linked with a :code:`--kitten hyperlink` flag. For example,
|
|
:code:`--kitten hyperlink=matching_lines` will only add hyperlinks to the
|
|
match lines. :code:`--kitten hyperlink=file_headers,context_lines` will link
|
|
file headers and context lines but not match lines. :code:`--kitten
|
|
hyperlink=none` will cause the command line to be passed to directly to
|
|
:command:`rg` so no hyperlinking will be performed. :code:`--kitten hyperlink`
|
|
may be specified multiple times.
|
|
|
|
Hopefully, someday this functionality will make it into some `upstream grep
|
|
<https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/issues/665>`__ program directly removing
|
|
the need for this kitten.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
While you can pass any of ripgrep's comand line options to the kitten and
|
|
they will be forwarded to :program:`rg`, do not use options that change the
|
|
output formatting as the kitten works by parsing the output from ripgrep.
|
|
The unsupported options are: :code:`--context-separator`,
|
|
:code:`--field-context-separator`, :code:`--field-match-separator`,
|
|
:code:`--json`, :code:`-I --no-filename`, :code:`-0 --null`,
|
|
:code:`--null-data`, :code:`--path-separator`. If you specify options via
|
|
configuration file, then any changes to the default output format will not be
|
|
supported, not just the ones listed.
