Fzf-lua grep ... can be made case insensitive but not the preview window (the hl of the matched word)

[1ngemar]

Hi all,

When running Fzf-lua grep ... I'm trying to have the builtin preview window also highlight the match found by Fzf-lua grep (rg) "smartmatch" setting.

Thus, if you Fzf-lua grep for "hello" and you have both "Hello" and "hello" in a file, only the "hello" match gets highlighted, even though the search engine (rg) finds them both and presents two rows in the fzf window to select.

Any way forward in this?

The highlight is performed via a vim.regex:match_line I'm not sure if there's a magic character equiavlent to rg's smart case, if there is I'd be happy to add it.

Otherwise it would mean i would have to modify the regex to h -> [Hh] depending if the --smart-case flag is found, too prone to errors to be worth the effort IMHO.

Ok, thanks.

Apparently, this is not trivial stuff; at least a bit over my head :) Let's put a pin in it for now. Not a big deal.

Thanks for a great plugin.
