Search the project

Inside Skink: Ctrl+E, then help search.

Alt+S (or :grep TEXT) searches every file in the project. Results stream into a tab grouped by file; Enter jumps to one.

> [!NOTE] > Ctrl+Shift+F does the same only in terminals that tell it apart from Ctrl+F (kitty, Ghostty, WezTerm, foot). Alt+S works everywhere.

- Alt+R regex, Alt+C case, Alt+W whole word, as in the [find bar](find). - .gitignore and .ignore are honoured; it stops at 5000 matches. :stopsearch stops it early. - :greprep WITH replaces the last search's matches in every file, through the refactor preview (regex mode expands $1).

## Structural search

Search code by shape (ast-grep), in files of the current file's language. $NAME matches one node, $$$NAME any number; whitespace and comments don't matter.

:sgrep foo($A, $$$REST) :srep foo($A, $B) => bar($B, $A)

:srep rewrites every match through the preview. After :sgrep, :greprep WITH rewrites the searched pattern.
