Telescope live_grep with args

[williamgoulois]

I need sometimes to search large codebases and lack the ability to filter by filetype and/or location, temporary search inside ignored files...

I found this plugin for Telescope (from the official Telescope org repo) that allows to pass args to rg finder
https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-live-grep-args.nvim

For example inside telescope you could type :

'state' utils -trust

=> this searches the word state inside folder utils only in rust filetypes

Here is a ripgrep guide (for reference args possibilities)
https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/GUIDE.md

In second time there is an interesting issue with POCs to be able to search word under cursor, or even search inside the focused directory in nvim-tree.
nvim-telescope/telescope-live-grep-args.nvim#14

Would you be interested in this plugin ?

There is already something like this in this config.
<Leader>+ss opens up live grep with can be used to search for words based upon file type

	"String",

Turns out that abzcoding uses that extension. 😂

Oh wow that was about to be expected ! I really have to look for all of the features packed in this config 😆
Thanks for this amazing config abz I use it every day since a whole year now 🚀
