I apologize upfront for a possibly stupid questions.
Basically I am trying to build similar experience as in Atom/Vscode search.
I often search with Rg and there are couple of things that are inconvenient:
-
After I press enter on a search result item
Fzfwindow disappears. When I want to visit multiple files (for editing) I have to repeat the search. Is there way to makeFzfwindow stay after I pressed Enter on a search item? -
Is it possible to navigate search results with hjkl instead of arrows? (currently letter keys input the fuzzy search string)
-
Is it possible to do search and replace with Fzf?
-
This is related to 1 and 4 - when the file is changed - is it possible to dynamically update search results window?
Thanks

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Begin by reviewing fzf.vim's existing Rg search behavior and how result selection, navigation keys, replacement, and updates are currently handled. The requested scope and acceptance criteria need to be narrowed before implementation can be considered done.
