lister.vim

==========

lister.vim is a collection of commands for manipulating and moving between

lists. In contrast to the `:Cfilter` command from the [Cfilter plug-in](https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/pack/dist/opt/cfilter/plugin/cfilter.vim) 

built into Vim 8.2 that matches the file path and message content, it splits it into two commands

`:Qgrep` and `:Qfilter` that match only the message or file path. 

Quickfix list and Location list

-------------------------------

`:Qgrep {pattern}` will narrow down the quickfix list to results with a

message matching the given pattern. `:Qgrep! {pattern}` will narrow down the

results to those whose message *does not* match the given pattern.

Similarly, `:Qfilter {pattern}` will narrow the quickfix list to results with a

filename matching the given pattern (and `:Qfilter!` for the inverse).

For the location list, there are `:Lgrep` and `:Lfilter` commands.

The `{pattern}` argument is always a Vim-flavoured regex.

Argument list

-------------

`:Agrep [arguments]` runs `:grep [arguments]` on the files in the argument

list. If provided, `!` is passed directly to `:grep`. This causes the quickfix

list to be populated, but Vim does not move to the first item.

`:Afilter {pattern}` narrows the argument list to those with a filename

matching `{pattern}`. `:Afilter!` does the same, but where filenames do not

match a pattern.

Moving between types of lists

-----------------------------

`:Qargs` populates the argument list with a unique set of files from the

quickfix list. Similar for `:Largs`, but with the location list.

`:Sargs` will convert all of the windows in the current tab page into a local

argument list.
