| ;; New versions of consult make this dramatically simpler than it used to be. Just one function that you can bind to a key: | |
| ;;;###autoload | |
| (defun consult-ripgrep-all (&optional dir initial) | |
| (interactive "P") | |
| (let ((consult-ripgrep-args "rga --null --line-buffered --color=never --max-columns=1000 --smart-case --no-heading --with-filename --line-number")) | |
| (consult-ripgrep dir initial))) |
Thanks for sharing this! This still works.
For the PDF page upon selection, you can try this (requires pdf-tools):
(defun pdf-consult-ripgrep-all (&optional dir initial)
(interactive "P")
(let* ((consult-ripgrep-args "rga --null --line-buffered --color=never --max-columns=1000 --smart-case --no-heading --with-filename --line-number")
(result (consult-ripgrep dir initial)))
(when (and result (string-match "\\([^:]+\\.pdf\\).*page \\([0-9]+\\)" result))
(pdf-view-goto-page (string-to-number (match-string 2 result))))))
There's still room for improvement. It does not take you to the page during the preview. I'll leave that for later.
