![]() ![]() One workaround is to type :e and press Enter to reload the file. This simple addition should work in any of the examples given in this tip, including mappings and abbreviations.Īn unfortunate side effect of disabling autocmds in this way is that you may find syntax highlighting is off when Vim displays the result. ![]() Use of grep and lgrep depend on the external application they point to, but use of vimgrep and lvimgrep is as follows: The commands : lnext and :lprevious can be used to cycle between found results. Both of these lists can be used to instantly jump to the matching line in whatever file it occurs in. "lgrep" and "lvimgrep" fill the "location list," which is local to the current window, and can be opened with :lw or :lopen. "grep" and "vimgrep" fill the "quickfix list", which can be opened with :cw or :copen, and is a list shared between ALL windows. These commands all fill a list with the results of their search. Keep in mind though, that vimgrep can often be slower than grep, which will call an external program to do the dirty work. ![]() "vimgrep" and "lvimgrep" are part of Vim, and therefore are good for using on any system, especially if you want to use Vim-style regular expressions in your search. "grep" and "lgrep" use an external application to perform the search, and are great if you are running Vim on a system with a good file searching utility, if you are accustomed to using an external application for your searches, or if your search is not a complicated one. Vim provides these commands for searching files:Īll of these commands can be used to search for a regular expression in whatever files you specify. Vim has this feature, but it is a little hard to find.
