Ggrep without opening the first result

[byron-hawkins]

When I search with Ggrep, it populates the quickfix window, and at the same time opens the first matching file and navigates to the first matching line in that file. Is it possible for Ggrep to populate the quickfix window without opening any file or navigating anywhere? I just want to grep and see the list of results. (Note that automatically opening quickfix after Ggrep is easy).

:Ggrep!, same as :grep!.

Great. I was searching for something like :grep! but after 10 minutes could not find anything, and reading help grep was not leading to that idea. Thanks.

It's a bit obtuse, :help :grep references :help :make which fully explains it.
