After a search in unite.vim, you open a candidate. Is there an easy way to jump to the next one without having to run the search command again? Similar plugins (ack.vim, git-grep) use the quickfix window, so you can type :cn and :cp to jump to next/previous results. Is there anything similar in unite.vim?
Thanks!
I haven't managed to find a way to put results into the quickfix or location lists, though I'm sure you could extend Unite to include that action.
Meanwhile, this little exerpt from the Unite documentation can help you re-open the Unite buffer you just recently had open:
:UniteResume [{options}] [{buffer-name}] *:UniteResume*
Reuses the unite buffer named {buffer-name} that you opened
previously. Narrowing texts or candidates are
as-is. If {options} are given, context information gets
overridden.
Note: Reuses the last unite buffer you used in current tab if
you skip specifying {buffer-name}.
I use this in the following way in my vimrc:
" Press <leader>ll to re-open last Unite buffer
nnoremap <silent><leader>ll :<C-u>UniteResume<CR>
Another useful snippet from the docs:
-no-quit
Doesn't close unite buffer after firing an action. Unless you
specify it, a unite buffer gets closed when you selected an
action which is "is_quit".
-keep-focus
Keep the focus on a unite buffer after firing an action.
Note: This option is used with "-no-quit" option.
For example, you could bind
nnoremap <silent><leader>lg :<C-u>Unite -no-quit -keep-focus grep<CR>
To be able to press <leader>lg to grep through your source files, without closing or de-focusing the Unite buffer when you select an item.
