Sync CtrlSF compact window when navigating via quickfix about ctrlsf.vim HOT 4 CLOSED

Sorry for this late reply, and thank you for your appreciation!

Compact mode is an interface that looks like quickfix but does not share same behaviors, if you prefer real quickfix window, a quick & dirty solution is using g:CtrlSFAfterMainWindowInit hook.

function! g:CtrlSFAfterMainWindowInit()
    close
    copen
endfunction

Compact mode is a design choice when I didn't fully understand quickfix window. As there are many plugins which enhance quickfix window recently, maybe I'll deprecate the compact mode later.

from ctrlsf.vim.

Thank you for the help! @dyng - This works great ❤️

I'm assuming there wouldn't be a way to get the best of both worlds is it? - I mean having a way to rename things (edit mode) + quick fix list together.

from ctrlsf.vim.

I think let me close this issue as I got the answer for the quickfix list, I had created a separate issue asking that here: #339

from ctrlsf.vim.

Just want to let you know that, the above suggested solution to provide CtrlSFAfterMainWindowInit has some edgecase, especially when doing repeat searches breaks with the following error:

" previous config
let g:ctrlsf_default_view_mode = 'compact' " Quickfix like view
let g:ctrlsf_populate_qflist = 1
let g:ctrlsf_auto_close = {
    \ "compact": 0
    \}
let g:ctrlsf_mapping = {
    \ "next": "j",
    \ "prev": "k",
    \ }
let g:ctrlsf_auto_focus = {
    \ "at": "start"
    \ }
nnoremap <Leader>/ :CtrlSF<Space>

" Opens quickfix window instead of compact window
" Because compact window doesn't stay in sync with quickfix
" https://github.com/dyng/ctrlsf.vim/issues/340
function! g:CtrlSFAfterMainWindowInit()
  close
  copen
endfunction

Removing that function & using the following configuration worked for me 🎉

" New config
let g:ctrlsf_default_view_mode = 'compact' " Quickfix like view

" Use quick fix list to populate & open instead of ctrlsf window

let g:ctrlsf_populate_qflist = 1
let g:ctrlsf_auto_close = 1
let g:ctrlsf_auto_qf = 1

let g:ctrlsf_mapping = {
    \ "next": "j",
    \ "prev": "k",
    \ }
let g:ctrlsf_auto_focus = {
    \ "at": "start"
    \ }
nnoremap <Leader>/ :CtrlSF<Space>
