helm-lines.el

A helm interface for completing by lines elsewhere in your project.

Installing

It's on MELPA. Run M-x package-install helm-links to install it.

Or preferably using the ingenious use-package declaration

(use-package helm-lines
  :commands (helm-lines))

This package requires git and
rg, ag or
pt. If you prefer
pt over rg or ag, remember to (setq helm-lines-search-function 'helm-lines-search-pt) in your config.

Features

This plugin will let you complete lines you already typed elsewhere in your project, by searching through files in the current git repo using ag, displaying the results in helm.

Run helm-lines to pop open a search for a line that contains what you already typed on the line you are at. Skip between them with C-p and C-n and hit enter to finish up the line.

Use it with helm-follow-mode to show the resulting line in-place.
