Mark and multi-open feature

Open octref opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

Hey, I'm wondering if you could add a mark/multi-open feature, similar to Ctrl-Z in ctrlp.

After a search, I want to mark multiple files and open them together. I went through the doc but can't find a way to do that.

Can you describe in a bit more detail what the desired behavior is? I'm not familiar with ctrlp, so I don't now how it works.

The closest thing in Command-T at the moment is the ability to move the matching file list into the quick fix window, with <c-q>.

Sure! Say I type foo, and it returns 3 hits:

> foo.js
  foo-bar.js
  foo-baz.js

and now I want to open both foo.js and foo-bar.js.

If I have <C-Z> as Mark, I'd use <C-Z> to select foo.js, <C-J> to go to foo-bar.js, and <C-Z> again to select foo-bar.js. Now I hit enter and foo.js and foo-bar.js should be opened in two buffers.

I don't really care which buffer would be active.

This is pretty useful when you have typed in a long query and want to open multiple hits, to avoid typing in the long query again.
I guess #153 could also benefit from this. @dymv seems to be in the situation I described above.

Given the big rewrite for v6.0.x, I'm closing all older issues as there is unlikely to be anything significant happening on the 5-x-devel branch from here on[^patches]. Feedback issue for 6.0.x is here:

[^patches]: Patches and PRs would be welcome, but my personal efforts are going to be directed towards main.
