Extensions¶
Using with Projectile¶
Projectile supports ag.el. If
you have Projectile installed, C-c p s s
runs ag
on your project or
ag-regexp
if a prefix argument is provided.
Customising the project root¶
By default, ag-project
and ag-project-regexp
use the root of the
VCS repo as the directory to search in. You can override this by
setting or customising ag-project-root-function
.
Editing the results inline¶
wgrep has support for
ag.el. If you install wgrep-ag
(available on MELPA), you can
simply run wgrep-change-to-wgrep-mode
and edit the *ag*
buffer. Press C-x C-s
when you’re done to make the changes to
buffers.
Focusing and filtering the results¶
winnow can be used to focus or filter
the results from ag. With the minor mode enabled, x
excludes unwanted
results, and m
selects only the lines that match.
Writing Your Own¶
You can use ag
, ag-project
and so on from an elisp
function. ag/FOO
functions are private and are more likely to
change. Please file a bug if you find a use for internal functions
that you can’t do otherwise.
