How to filter search results
Display only matching lines
Typing &
after forward search (/
) or backward search (?
) puts you in search term input mode.
The search input mode inherits settings such as “regular expressions” and “case sensitivity”.
A “new document” is created that displays only the lines that match the search term you entered, and you move to that document.
If you specified a header line at this time, the header line will also be displayed.
You can switch documents with [
and ]
as you would with multiple files open.
Since the line numbers are linked, if you move from the lines displayed by the filter to the original document with [
, you will move to the corresponding line.
Display non-matching lines
When you are in search term input mode with &
, typing !
toggles to display non-matching lines (Non-match) mode.
Ending filter search
To close all documents created by filter search, press K
(uppercase).
You can also close only that document with ctrl+k
.
