rg.el icon indicating copy to clipboard operation
rg.el copied to clipboard

When copying from buffer `*rg*`, some internal text is included

Open doublep opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

To reproduce:

  • Search for anything.
  • Go to buffer *rg*, select a whole result line and copy it.
  • Yank anywhere.

Result: some internal invisible text that probably means "highlight from this column" is copied.

Example (searching for "defun" in this project's source code), this is what I see:

File: rg-isearch.el
  39  (defun rg-get-isearch-string ()

This is what I get if copy the match line anywhere:

  39   2 (defun rg-get-isearch-string ()

As a user, I don't need this and it is very annoying to delete this every time. It must remain internal details and not get in my way.

Yes, this is an internal implementation detail. I don't plan to fix it though since I think this is a minor issue. Could do a real skip column setting possibly but if you want this (with the drawbacks it entails) you would have to submit a PR.
