VSCode Quick Grep

Git Grep and Ripgrep extension for Visual Studio Code. Easy to search code, see results, and navigate with the quick pick view. A selected text will be used to grep by default.

The default shortcut is Cmd + E.

Install Ripgrep

If you're a macOS Homebrew or a Linuxbrew user,

Usage

Trigger Cmd + E to open the Quick Grep
Type a text to search. If there is a selected text in the editor, that text will be used for searching.
The last results will be shown by triggering Cmd + E again without a selected text. It's a handy way to continue browsing.
Optionally, you can enable the preview setting to see the file content while browsing search results.
