# vim-SearchAndReplace Global search and replace in Vim has always been a bit of a hassle. While powerful, the native methods often feel clunky or require too many keystrokes for simple, interactive renaming across a project. I decided to fix this problem with a simple and quick solution: **vim-SearchAndReplace**. ## Usage The plugin exposes a single, intuitive command `:SR`. ```vim :SR {search_term} {replace_term} [file_pattern] ``` ### Examples **Basic usage (recursive search in current directory):** ```vim :SR foo bar ``` **Specify a file pattern:** ```vim :SR foo bar src/**/*.js ``` **Multiple file patterns:** ```vim :SR foo bar src/*.js test/*.js ``` **Handling spaces (use quotes):** ```vim :SR "foo bar" "baz qux" ``` **Handling single quotes (use double quotes or double single quotes):** ```vim :SR "'foo' + 'bar'" '''bar'' + ''foo''' ``` **Handling double quotes (use single quotes or backslash):** ```vim :SR '"foo" + "bar"' "\"foo\" + \"bar\"" ``` ### Interactive Controls When a match is found, you are prompted with the following options: - **y**: Replace this match - **n**: Skip this match - **a**: Replace all remaining matches automatically - **q**: Quit (preserves changes made so far) - **u**: Undo the last replacement - **c**: Cancel (undo **all** changes made in this session and quit) ## Contributing Pull requests and issues are welcome! If you find a bug or have a feature request, please open an issue. ## License MIT Copyright (c) 2025 Artur Pyrogovskyi (@arp)
