Comments for josh's emacs


oops, GitHub collapsed stars in emacs start line, here: https://gist.github.com/b4d06694b03fd24d28bc

I think it would involve writing a search indexer in Lisp. Or delegating to a standalone engine like Xapian. Still not a rocket science but the simplest way I can think of is to move to zsh where you can open all the .rb files inside app & lib directories like this: emacs—fullscreen app//.rb lib//.rb.
zsh of course is not the only shell out there with powerful globbing, but it is probably both most advanced and well supported

Thanks for the tip, installed! https://github.com/josh/emacs/commit/28026e23f70d125098244762166b17d9e6cb6e83
I’ve been looking for something like this to search across files. I only wish it could search all the files in a dir (instead of just open buffers).

You may want to check out far-search-mode: https://github.com/aemoncannon/far-search-mode/tree/master
It’s very convenient when you have certain buffers belonging to the project, and some aside (for instance, libraries you work on every once in a while), and it general one of the best navigation modes I’ve seen in years.
