Sublime - Telescope

Sublime text plugin that mimic the "live grep" feature of the telescope plugin from VIM.

That plugin work with ripgrep and fzf

It will fuzzy find in all files following a glob expression,

• it will first use ripgrep, if you enter acbd, it will look for the regex .*a.*b.*c.*d.*
• it will apply fuzzy search on the result with fzf
• it will keep the 5000 best results (fzf scoring)

Ripgrep and fzf are configured in "smart case" mode (case insensitive if everything is lower case, case-sensitive otherwise).

The results are shown in an output panel; use the up/down arrows to navigate them (the highlighted result is previewed), enter to open it and escape to cancel and go back where you was.

To reduce the search space, you can set a glob filter to apply on the files by pressing shift+esc, like the sublime text search, you can specify many globs separated by a comma:

• <empty>: use the default ripgrep filters (follow gitignore, skip hidden files and binary, etc)
• models/*.py
• .py
• .py, .js
• /views/*/src/*.html

In addition to the default ripgrep behavior (ignoring file specified in .gitignore, etc), it will ignore files matching

• binary_file_patterns
• file_exclude_patterns
• folder_exclude_patterns
