Allow user defined scanners.
It would be nice to be able to specify scanners without modifying command-t's source. For example a locate based scanner would be useful. Or someone might want to have a git ls-files -co scanner rather then the default git scanner.
Most commands output one file a line or files separated by null bytes. It would be nice to have a scanner (or one per split) that take a command to run and get results by splitting on nulls or newlines.
A nice benefit is that the find scanner can use it :)
Agreed that this would be nice. Ideally, the existing scanners would be refactored so that they behaved like third-party plug-ins rather than being baked into the source (they'd still be bundled, for convenience, but have them operate via the same API that any third-party plug-ins would need to use would be the way to keep the API "intellectually honest").
Sounds good. In fact if I start work on #249 I might do it in such a way that a custom scanner can be provided in addition to the find and git ones.
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.
