vimripgrep

ripgrep from within vim's :term


I often use rg -i PATTERN | vim - to pipe the results to a new vim session.

Is there a way to do this from within a running vim session with an open terminal (opened with :term) in a none blocking way?

I know :vimgrep and it's already configured to work with rg.

Is there a way to run multiple rg commands parallel from within?

I'm working on windows 10.

Update: The terminal from which I want to execute the commands is the terminal which is started from within Vim with the :term command.


Solution

  • I was looking for :term rg -i PATTERN which will run async and not block vim. It's also possible to run several commands in parallel. And so the terminal is a buffer I can simply yank the results to my working document/buffer.
