Delete found lines

[savchenko]

What's the optimal workflow to "delete found lines" ? Say I have grep'ed something and happy with the found results.

Now, I can <C-q> to put those in quickfix list and write some Lua to seek & destroy, however...

1. The "put in quickfix" results in the annoying "Process exited 0":
   
   ...which I then need to <C-w>w<C-w>c.
2. Requires me writing Lua.

I wonder if there is a better way.

normally this case shouldn't happen? I cannot reproduce it.

What's your grep config? Here is mine:

grep = {
    header = false,
    RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH = vim.env.RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH,
    fzf_opts = {
        ["--with-nth"] = "{1} {4}",
        ["--delimiter"] = ":",
    },
    actions = {
        ["alt-i"] = { actions.toggle_ignore },
        ["ctrl-g"] = { actions.grep_lgrep },
        ["ctrl-q"] = { actions.file_sel_to_qf },
    },
},

[nenahp]

right... now I reproduce it.

you don't need the bracket (although I don't know if this indended or bug):

            ['alt-i'] = fa.toggle_ignore,
            ['ctrl-g'] = fa.grep_lgrep,
            ['ctrl-q'] = fa.file_sel_to_qf,

You are correct. I was about to strongarm it :-) See #2492 (comment)

you don't need the bracket (although I don't know if this indended or bug):

This isn’t a bug, the brackets make it so fzf-lua doesn’t close the window, this interferes with the action conversion of the hide profile which will now assume this was intended (say you waned to add an fzf prefix or reload=true).

maybe grug-far.nvim can do the easily. Just regex match all the line then "Replace matches with empty string"

[savchenko]

Hold on, how? Isn't deleting lines in Grug is basically excluding them from the subsequent action (,r or otherwise) ?

[nenahp]

no "delete line", but can replace with empty string

OK, this works. Briteforce-ish, but works.

["ctrl-q"] = { function(selected, opts)
    local fzf_buf = vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf()
    actions.file_sel_to_qf(selected, opts)
    if vim.api.nvim_buf_is_valid(fzf_buf) and vim.bo[fzf_buf].buftype == "terminal" then
        vim.cmd("bdelete! " .. fzf_buf)
    end
    vim.cmd("wincmd p")
end },
