ack.vim is a Vim plugin interface to the ack command-line tool, providing fast, grep-like search functionality directly within Vim. It displays search results in a split window and supports navigation through them seamlessly

Features

  • Use :Ack instead of :grep for efficient searching via ack
  • Displays search results in a Vim split for easy navigation
  • Leverages lazy-loading via Vim autoload, minimizing startup impact
  • Honors default ack behavior including .gitignore filters, with the option to override
  • Supports passing directory arguments to narrow search scope
  • Compatible with CLI alternatives like ag or ripgrep
