Live-narrowing of search results for proced in Emacs.

Primary LanguageEmacs Lisp

proced-narrow

This package provides live filtering of processes in proced buffers. Open proced, call proced-narrow, and type the query to filter the processes with. If you type "emacs" then proced-narrow will filter the processes listed to only the Emacs processes. While in the minibuffer, typing RET will exit the minibuffer and leave the proced buffer in the narrowed state, and typing C-g will exit the minibuffer and restore the list of processes. While in the proced buffer, to bring back all processes, call revert-buffer (default bind is g).

Install

(use-package proced-narrow
  :ensure t
  :after proced
  :bind (:map proced-mode-map
              ("/" . proced-narrow)))

Usage

  1. Open up proced (M-x proced)
  2. Press / (given you've followed the installation instructions above)
  3. Type the name of the process you want to filter for e.g. emacs
  4. Press RET to keep the narrowed buffer or C-g to cancel the narrowing and restore the original view.
