Allow running up with no input
NightMachinery opened this issue · comments
I like to run up to just run grep searches interactively (using ripgrep
on the current directory).
I saw this sentiment expressed also in #33; can you please help me understand if there are reasons why e.g. something like echo | up
is not working for you? (Or maybe even just :|up
?) What holds me back on this feature is basically that I'm having concerns about discoverability of the app's core feature being impacted...
@akavel Because up
passes the dummy input to the command, and a lot of commands (including grep) will change their behavior if stdin is present. I don't think discoverability will be affected; If anything, the current marketing seems confusing to me. up
is essentially a new mode of using a REPL. I think the best summary of what up
is, is up makes your commands sticky in any REPL
. Anyhow, adding an option for running with no input, if not advertised upfront, definitely won't change people's first impression of the tool.
Would this not be the exact usecase for FZF?
