This module provides Ivy integration for a variety of Emacs commands, as well as a unified interface for project search and replace, powered by ripgrep.
I prefer ivy over ido for its flexibility. I prefer ivy over helm because it’s lighter, simpler and faster in many cases.
+fuzzyEnables fuzzy completion for Ivy searches.+prescientEnables prescient filtering and sorting for Ivy searches.+childframeCauses Ivy to display in a floating child frame, above Emacs.+iconsEnables file icons for switch-{buffer,project}/find-file counsel commands.

- Functions with ivy/counsel equivalents have been globally remapped (like
find-file=>counsel-find-file). So a keybinding tofind-filewill invokecounsel-find-fileinstead. counsel-[arp]g’s 3-character limit was reduced to 1 (mainly for the ex command)
This module has no prerequisites.
Ivy and its ilk are large plugins. Covering everything about them is outside of this documentation’s scope, so only Doom-specific Ivy features are listed here:
Inspired by Sublime Text’s jump-to-anywhere, CtrlP/Unite in Vim, and Textmate’s
Command-T, this module provides similar functionality by bringing projectile
and ivy together.

| Keybind | Description |
|---|---|
SPC p f, SPC SPC | Jump to file in project |
SPC f f, SPC . | Jump to file from current directory |
SPC s i | Jump to symbol in file |
This module provides interactive text search and replace using ripgrep.
| Keybind | Description |
|---|---|
SPC s p | Search project |
SPC s P | Search another project |
SPC s d | Search this directory |
SPC s D | Search another directory |

Prefixing these keys with the universal argument (SPC u for evil users; C-u
otherwise) changes the behavior of these commands, instructing the underlying
search engine to include ignored files.
This module also provides Ex Commands for evil users:
| Ex command | Description |
|---|---|
:pg[rep][!] [QUERY] | Search project (if !, include hidden files) |
:pg[rep]d[!] [QUERY] | Search from current directory (if !, don’t search recursively) |
The optional `!` is equivalent to the universal argument for the previous commands.
These keybindings are available while a search is active:
| Keybind | Description |
|---|---|
C-c C-o | Open a buffer with your search results |
C-c C-e | Open a writable buffer of your search results |
C-SPC | Preview the current candidate |
C-RET | Open the selected candidate in other-window |
Changes to the resulting wgrep buffer (opened by C-c C-e) can be committed
with C-c C-c and aborted with C-c C-k (alternatively ZZ and ZQ, for evil
users).

The swiper package provides an interactive buffer search powered by ivy. It
can be invoked with:
SPC s s(swiper-isearch)SPC s S(swiper-isearch-thing-at-point)SPC s b(swiper):sw[iper] [QUERY]

A wgrep buffer can be opened from swiper with C-c C-e.
