How do i search and replace entire project using fzf-lua without using quickfix list.

Hi everyone. Is it possible to search and replace a keyword in selected locations in the entire project using fzf-lua. If so how can I do it.

You’ll need to write a custom action in lua for that and use the regex (opts.search) or query to replace text at the selected lines.

If I am not asking too much of you, can you please help me out by guiding me with atleast a basic implementation on which I can improve upon. It would be really helpful for me.

I also had one more doubt. Does this kind of functionality makes sense to be implemented in fzf-lua itself.

Read the wiki, start writing your custom action, use the neovim lua API whenever possible, use FzfLua helptags to understand more, when you have something you’re confused about post it here and I’ll help.

Nope, it’s already covered via many scenarios using the quick fix and local lists, it makes no sense for me to add it, :cdo, :cfdo should cover everything along with :FzfLua grep_quickfix.
