How to select all items from live_grep to quickfix ?

[lotusirous]

Follow up the discussion in #1126 ,

Another refinement options is to select all entries you’re interested in and press enter, by default multiple entries will go to quick fix, you can then go back and forth the quickfix wirh :cnext and :cprev (I map these to ]q and [q) and also explore these with :FzfLua quickfix.

How can I select all file in the result from live_grep or grep into quickfix list ?

There is a profile telesceope in :

fzf-lua/lua/fzf-lua/profiles/telescope.lua

Line 81 in a9e5755

["ctrl-q"] = "select-all+accept",

But it looks like there is no option for grep

Thanks

Add this mapping to the default keymap.fzf and you’ll get the same effect for grep as well.

There is a profile telesceope in

The profile is just a set of options sent to setup you can copy the contents of the profile (or only the parts you like) and configure the same options without using the profile directly.

Also see the discussion in #1109 for how to use a custom function in conjunction with select-all.

You can even do that in a command one-liner, try:

-- Can’t have an action set to ctrl-q or options will conflict
:FzfLua live_grep keymap.fzf.ctrl-q=select-all+accept actions.ctrl-q=false

FYI, I've initiated junegunn/fzf#3810 which is now merged into main, sending all to quickfix shuold be made considerably easier in the next release (>0.52.1).

FYI, once fzf 0.53 is released and with the latest commit e65b865, it is now simplified to use fzf prefixes with any fzf-lua action.

Using select-all with an exisiting action keybind (in this case alt-q) is as easy as:

-- This will work assuming `alt-q` is already defined in `actions`
:FzfLua live_grep keymap.fzf.alt-q=select-all

It is also possible to define this within the action itself (can be any action including custom):

:lua require("fzf-lua").files({
  actions ={
    -- "+accept" isn't required since `accept` is implied with actions
    ["ctrl-q"] = { fn = require"fzf-lua".actions.file_sel_to_qf, prefix = "select-all" }
  }
})

Obviously the above cab be specified during setup for permanency:

require("fzf-lua").setup({
  files = {
    actions = { ["ctrl-q"] = { fn = require"fzf-lua".actions.file_sel_to_qf, prefix = "select-all" } }
  }
})

Thanks a lot. This is a great improvement !!
