Doesn't fuzzy search file contents with -e option

[robdmc]

Hello.

Great tool! I've always wanted something like this. Thanks for writing.

I am on mac-os installed with brew.

When I run with the -e option, it looks like the fuzzy search is looking for file names instead of the contents of the file. Is this expected behavior?

Hi Rob, thanks for the kind words and glad you're finding it useful :)

The -e flag also showing file-names is intended as a convenience feature. The most common usage patterns (in my experience) are 1) Search for specific text using 'fuz' or 2) Add some text to a specific file using 'fuz -e'.

The latter is easier to perform if it defaults to the file list overview, and faster to type if its just 'fuz -e' instead of 'fuz -e -n'.

However, this makes it a bit more difficult to open a file at a specific matched line in vim. I've modified the echo message shown after selecting a match to include also the matched line in a format that can be copy pasted to open in vim.

# Copy this echoed message (shown after selecting a match)
"notes.txt" +622

# Paste after 'vim' to open at specific line 622
vim "notes.txt" +622

just got back to this. Still been using this tool regularly and loving it. Thanks for the updates. That will help.

Have added a fuz --vimsearch option for this in the dev branch. Also sorting results by time and preserving line order, at the cost of single threading. Will merge in a few days to allow for testing.
