README.md

--

Use your favorite grep tool (ag, ack, git grep, ripgrep, pt, sift, findstr, grep) to start an asynchronous search. All matches will be put in a quickfix or location list.

This plugin is written in pure VimL and works with Vim and Neovim.

--

• Prompt: Use :Grepper to open a prompt, enter your query, optionally cycle through the list of tools, fire up the search.
• Operator: Use the current visual selection to pre-fill the prompt or start searching right away.
• Commands: :Grepper supports a wide range of flags which makes it extremely flexible. All supported tools come with their own command for convenience: :GrepperGit, :GrepperAg, and so on. They're all built atop of :Grepper.
• Custom tools: Changing the behaviour of the default tools is very easy. And so is adding new tools.

If you liked ack and ag, you will love vim-grepper.
