Describe the feature
Zed's current
Project search
opens a new mutable buffer where each matching line is preceded and followed by two more adjacent lines to provide context.Emacs's occur command opens a new immutable buffer with no context lines. Only matching lines are shown, and pressing
return
opens a new buffer for the file where the match was found, and the cursor on the match. The new buffer appears in split screen, so it is convenient to jump from the results buffer to the target file buffer.This seemingly simple command makes moving between matching files extremely fast, with a human in control and unobstructed by using a mouse. It would be nice if it could be recreated in Zed.
