User friendly project wide search with context for Kakoune editor.
With plug.kak (recommended)
Just add this to your kakrc:
# -- Search: https://github.com/1g0rb0hm/search.kak
plug "1g0rb0hm/search.kak" config %{
set-option global search_context 3 # number of context lines
}Then reload Kakoune config or restart Kakoune and run :plug-install.
Simply select the text you would like to search for and run :search. You can also provide a search pattern as an argument :search [pattern]
You can then navigate from one match to the next using n as the search term is automatically stored in the default / search register.
Another way of navigating to the previous/next match is via :search-previous-match and :search-next-match.
Each match is surrounded by a configurable number of context lines (see search_context option).
