If you want to do this without the ripgrep plugin you can just set ripgrep as you grep like this set grepprg=rg\ --vimgrep set grepformat^=%f:%l:%c:%m Now when you use the command :grep :python: You can get the same functionality in just 2 lines of vimscript.
@@GavinFreeborn thanks man! i got some BIG things coming son, probably announce next week. Already announced on patreon as it should be. but i got a lot coming up very soon! :DD
Alright I installed it, but vim-ripgrep does only find targets in my home directory. I have my vimwiki-files on a separate harddisk. I tried symlinking the dir in my home dir but no success. How can I configure the searching directory for vim-ripgrep?
What made you switch from using a text editor like Vimwiki, to Obsidian for a Zettelkasten? While I'm at it, why did you switch from Arch to MacOS? Hopefully I'm not coming off as judgemental. I'm just curious as I'm starting to create a Zettal.
made a video on the switch to mac, and vimwiki lacks most of the functionality obsidian offers, and obsidian has the graph which is incredibly helpful to me
@@BryanJenks Thank you for your timely response, and I will definitely watch that video then. If it's not too much for me to ask, what functionalitys where they?
the tag syntax for vimwiki though is the double colons i still havent found a use for that for me with my subwiki structure snake case is when you use underscores between words snake_case_is_this camelCaseIsThis i find snake case more readable
Thank you very much, Bryan, I was just looking for the best way to manage tags in VimWiki; what a nice coincidence!!!
You’re welcome! Perfect timing ;)
Bryan, that was awesome.
As someone who does use a lot of :tags: in my VimWiki, I didn't realize Rg's utility. Thank you for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!

Also happy to see you back at it!

tried it in my vimwiki, but it does nothing, goes to shell and back to vim, without any result.
Sorry, I see the error. I didn't notice, that I had to install ripgrep first as a cli-tool and then use it in vim.

@@millerdiller1867 transclusion, block references, mermaid charts, rendered LaTeX math, and all the functionality of the plugins available.
@@BryanJenks I understand then. Thank you very, very much.
3:55 How about putting the text to be searched for between double quotes?
4:14 Snake case?

@@BryanJenks I don't quite understand the first paragraph. As for the second paragraph, thank you.
Thanks Bryan 🐄
My pleasure :)
What about multiple tag search?
I don't use vimwiki anymore :)
@@BryanJenks I'm using Obsidian right now. But am looking at VimWiki as a possible backup option to read Obsidian "vaults".
