# replacer.nvim

replacer.nvim makes quickfix windows editable, allowing changes to both the

content of a file and its path. You can use this to rename variables and files

easily. When moving a file around, if the origin folder gets empty, it's

deleted.

See the example below.

## Using the plugin

First, populate a quickfix window with the lines and files you want to

change. If you don't know how, try the `:Rg` command from [fzf.vim](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim).

Now, inside the quickfix window, execute `:lua require("replacer").run()`.

You can also map it to a shortcut, for instance in lua:

```lua

api.nvim_set_keymap('n', 'h', ':lua require("replacer").run()', { silent = true })

```

Or in VimScript:

```

nmap h :lua require("replacer").run()

```

Your quickfix window will change and now you can edit the lines and

move/rename the files.

Save the buffer when you're done. That's it.

### Renaming files

Renaming/moving files is enabled by default. To disable this functionality, set

the option `rename_files`. For instance:

```lua

api.nvim_set_keymap('n', 'h', ':lua require("replacer").run({ rename_files = false })', { silent = true })

```

### Saving the changes

By default, changes are saved when you write the buffer. To disable this

functionality and instead set a custom shortcut to save the changes, set the

`save_on_write` option and execute the `save` function. For instance:

```lua

local opts = { save_on_write = false, rename_files = false }

api.nvim_set_keymap('n', 'h', ':lua require("replacer").run(opts)', { silent = true })

api.nvim_set_keymap('n', 'H', ':lua require("replacer").save(opts)', { silent = true })

```

Notice that the options are sent to both `run` and `save`. This is important

for consistent behavior.

### Global options

You can also use the `setup` function to set global options. For instance, with

lazy.nvim you can do something like this:

```lua

{

    dir = 'gabrielpoca/replacer.nvim',

    opts = {rename_files = false},

    keys = {

        {

            'h',

            function() require('replacer').run() end,

            desc = "run replacer.nvim"

        }

    }

}

```

The `rename_files` will be set to `false` by default in every execution

of the functions `run` and `save`.
