This extension provides a full keyboard navigable, swiper-inspired ripgrep UI in VSCode.
You need to install ripgrep and optionally point the configuration
ripgrep.ripgrep.exe to the binary, if it's not accessible from PATH.
The entrypoint is commad "Ripgrep: find".
By default, it
- uses your text selection as the query if available; and
- starts a ripgrep search session under the current directory according to the current file opened, or fallback to project directory.
You can also bind a key to it like this
{ "key": "alt+f", "command": "ripgrep.find" },When some search results are generated, you can use ctrl+j or ctrl+k to
navigate through the results (mouse click also works!).
We also open up the file for you to preview the lines around the match.
When you are happy with the result, press enter to stay on the file; otherwise
escape brings you back to where you started the search session.
You can change some search modes on the fly.
For search directory, you can use
alt+d(dir) to switch between current dir and workspace diralt+h(left) to change the directory to the parentalt+l(right) to undo lastalt+h
For ripgrep search options, you can use
alt+c(case) to toggle case match mode ("smart", "ignore" or "strict") ("smart" means "ignore" if all lower-case, and "strict" otherwise)alt+r(regex) to toggle regex modealt+w(word) to toggle word match mode
You can specify optional arguments to the ripgrep.find to control some default
behaviors on the init directory and init query text:
{ dirMode?: "doc" | "workspace", withSelection?: boolean }
