Introduction

A drop-in replacement for :make and :grep that does not block the UI by leveraging neovim's job control API.

Installation

This plugin does not add any keybindings or user commands for you. It only provides the grep() and make() functions, which you can bind to user commands as you wish.

The following is an installation example for lazy.nvim:

{
  'msaher/makegrep-job.nvim',
  config = function()
    local mg = require('makegrep-job')
    local opts = {nargs = '*', complete = 'file'}

    vim.api.nvim_create_user_command('Grep', function(data)
        mg.grep(data.args, {})
    end, opts)

    vim.api.nvim_create_user_command('Lgrep', function(data)
        mg.grep(data.args, {loclist = true})
    end, opts)

    vim.api.nvim_create_user_command('Make', function(data)
        mg.make(data.args, {})
    end, opts)

    vim.api.nvim_create_user_command('Lmake', function(data)
        mg.make(data.args, {loclist = true})
    end, opts)

  end
},
