GrepRtpScr

Plugin for grepping through your Vim's runtimepath & scriptnames

Purpose

This plugin greps for the given query through your two vimscript sources, runtimepath & scriptnames, then displays the results in the location list.

As your runtimepath contains all .vim sources that are loadable, :GrepRtp can help you discover and/or remind you of yet-to-be loaded scripts and their functionalities.

And since scriptnames consists of all .vim sources that are already loaded, :GrepScr can be quite useful for debugging your current Vim instance.

Installation

Using vim-plug:

• Plug 'jyscao/greprtpscr'

Using dein:

• call dein#add('jyscao/greprtpscr')

Manually:

• Copy the files to your nvim/ or .vim/ directory

Usage

The plugin provides 2 commands:

• :GrepRtp
• :GrepScr

Both take a search query, which may be a regex pattern, as an argument. The location-list will then be populated with your results.

Demo

1. :GrepRtp layers: grep through rtp sources that contain 'layers'
2. searched for 'debug' keyword, open the corresponding SpaceVim layer source and checkout its functionalities
3. :GrepScr markdown grep through scriptnames sources that contain 'markdown'
4. searched for 'preview' keyword, which corresponds to specific markdown vim-plugin in order to debug it
