* Introduction
|
|||
|
|
~ivy-quick-find-files.el~ is a utility package for all of you out there
|
|||
|
|
that often find themselves looking for the right file in the right
|
|||
|
|
place, but you can’t be bothered to have a specific keybinding for
|
|||
|
|
that particular file for one reason or another.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now, you have a utility for finding files by directory with an
|
|||
|
|
associated extension! Let’s say you often open files with a ~.org~
|
|||
|
|
extension from your directory =~/org/=, this package will try to find it
|
|||
|
|
insantly for you!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Motivation
|
|||
|
|
I often find myself opening a specific set of files, but they are too
|
|||
|
|
numerous to make each one of them a keybinding. Well, I actually
|
|||
|
|
could, but I end up with way too much for my taste. In fact, at the
|
|||
|
|
time I’m writing this, I would have to manage a hundred keybindings
|
|||
|
|
for my various org files alone! Unmanageable!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Installation
|
|||
|
|
** Local installation
|
|||
|
|
The vanilla way of installing this package would be to clone this
|
|||
|
|
repository somewhere in your Emacs’ ~load-path~, or add the following
|
|||
|
|
line to your ~.emacs~ or ~init.el~:
|
|||
|
|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
|||
|
|
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/ivy-quick-find-files.el")
|
|||
|
|
#+end_src
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Then add the following lines to your ~.emacs~ or ~init.el~:
|
|||
|
|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
|||
|
|
(require 'ivy-quick-find-files)
|
|||
|
|
#+end_src
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
** Straight + use-package
|
|||
|
|
My personnal choice in terms of installing packages is using straight
|
|||
|
|
with use-package. If you are using it too, add the following code to
|
|||
|
|
your ~.emacs~ or ~init.el~:
|
|||
|
|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
|||
|
|
(use-package ivy-quick-find-files
|
|||
|
|
:defer t
|
|||
|
|
:ensure t
|
|||
|
|
:straight (ivy-quick-find-files :type git
|
|||
|
|
:host github
|
|||
|
|
:repo "Phundrak/ivy-quick-find-files.el")
|
|||
|
|
:config ; Depending on your preferences of course
|
|||
|
|
(setq ivy-quick-find-files-program 'fd
|
|||
|
|
ivy-quick-find-files-dirs-and-exts '(("~/org" . "org"))))
|
|||
|
|
#+end_src
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
** Other methods
|
|||
|
|
I am aware other methods are available for installing packages in
|
|||
|
|
Emacs, such as ~quelpa~ or Spacemacs’ and DoomEmacs’ package managers,
|
|||
|
|
however I am yet unsure how to install this package with them. If you
|
|||
|
|
do, feel free to submit a PR with new instructions!
