rgui

A basic terminal UI for searching text files using regular expressions.

$ rgui [-p <pattern>] [<search_paths...>]

Positional Arguments:
  search_paths      list of paths to search

Options:
  -p, --pattern     pattern to search for
  --help            display usage information

TODO

• Toggle for case insensitive search.
• Toggle for plain text (non-regex) search.
• Progress marker for when a search is ongoing.
• Basic edit controls on the pattern field (move cursor left/right, select all, etc).
• Navigation of results and, possibly, ability to launch $EDITOR on files at the line where the currently selected match was found.
• Restore previous console state after quitting instead of clearing the screen.
• A --help flag?
• Show an error in case of a malformed search pattern.
• Make search-as-you-type optional, and prefer search-on-return by default.
• Highlight matches in the results window.
