This plugin is completely community-driven. The author has betrayed the pure vim experience and fallen down a slippery slope of using VSCode with a vim plugin. Please do not raise issues without a PR, they will be ignored anyway.
Far.vim makes it easier to find and replace text through multiple files. It's inspired by fancy IDEs, like IntelliJ and Eclipse, that provide cozy tools for such tasks.
Plug 'brooth/far.vim':Far foo bar **/*.py
:Fardo
Find the text to replace.
Find only.
:Farr foo bar **/*.py
Interactive Far. Shows searching modes in the status bar (regex, case sensitive, word boundary, replace). Modes can be toggled by the key mapping it prompted. Allows to enter {pattern}, {replace-with}, and {file-mask} one after the other.
Interactive F. The interaction is similar to Farr.
Runs the replacement task. The shortcut for it is s (substitute).
Undo the recurrent replacement. The shortcut for it is u (undo). It is available when setting let g:far#enable_undo=1.
Change Far/F/Farr/Farf params.
