For a while I've looked for what for me would be the `perfect' grep: It would
display each line containing a searched for pattern, with one or more context
lines (so I can discern the lines Im looking for). When I clicked on one of
these lines, the corresponding file would open with the cursor on the selected
line.
Vim can almost do this, with its quickfix list. But when I choose options from
an external grep that displays context lines surrounding each line containing a
pattern -- vim gets upset. Is there a way to get vim to display a quickfix list
containing context lines - and still goto to a selected file/line?
It would also be nice to have a quickfix list in one window of vim, and files
that one could go to in a second window. Notepad++'s ``find in files'' feature
almost does this - except for the context lines.
The payware version of Agent Ransack does all of this, because it costs money
which of course makes it not `perfect'.
