Use cword by default for empty input about vim-grepper HOT 8 CLOSED

Thanks for this plugin!

You're welcome. :-)

Actually I'd like to keep the behaviour that a simple :Grepper opens the prompt (apart from not wanting to break backwards compatability yet again..), but I could add a new flag -cword. This should work just as well for your use case, right?

from vim-grepper.

Sorry for the misunderstanding: :Grepper should still open the prompt, but when you then submit nothing from there, <cword> would be used, i.e. with :Grepper<cr><cr>.

from vim-grepper.

In that case you could use the operator:

nmap gs <plug>(GrepperOperator)
xmap gs <plug>(GrepperOperator)
nmap <leader>a gsiw

The only downside I see, is that using this way always the first tool in g:grepper.programs will be used. So you couldn't create 2 mappings for git and ag for it.

Alternatively, and maybe more straight forward, would be -cword (prompt) and -cword! (no prompt).

What do you think?

from vim-grepper.

I am aware of the operator already, which is nice in general.

Do you mean that with -cword it would display a prompt, prefilled with the current word, and that -cword! would just use the current word?

The use case of having an empty prompt being submitted would still not be covered in this regard then, right?

Oh, apparently I'm a bit schwer von Begriff today. Give me a minute..

Bingo, thanks! :)
