Hi Everyone.

I’m using emacs and ripgrep to find what I’m looking for in a folder. Ripgrep shows the result of what I’m looking beautifully. Thats great. Every time I open a result, ripgrep buffer disappears.

Does anyone know how to open a temp buffer to view result then I can close it and go back to rg result again, so I don’t have to type my search query.

Thanks.

    I use consult-ripgrep to do the search, which shows me a live preview of the match candidates. If I want to make a buffer with all the results, I call embark-act then embark-export to dump the results into a buffer.

    I detail this workflow (including editing the matches!) here on my blog, which should have more details if you’re lost.
