Implements most aspects of the argument list feature from Vim in Evil. An argument list is a set of file paths on which you can perform operations.
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/path/to/evil-arglist")
(require 'evil-arglist)Set the argument list to all .el files in the current directory
:args *.el
Show all files in the argument list
:args
Edit the next file on the argument list
:n
Edit the previous file on the argument list
:p
Delete all files from the argument list
:argd *
Vim's [+cmd] and [cmd] Ex arguments are fully supported which means the
following work as expected:
Run checkdoc on every file in the argument list
:argdo checkdoc
Search and replace
:argdo %s/vim/emacs/g
Revert changes made from a previous :argdo
:argdo edit!
Go to the first line containing the word TODO in the currently edited
argument
:argu +/TODO
Edit the first argument, goto the last line
:1argu +
Edit the first argument, goto line 10
:1argu +10
Edit the first argument, then run substitute on the buffer
:1argu +s/foo/bar
Support is also added for the special file name ## which will be replaced
with a concatentation of all the files in the argument list, separated by
spaces, when it appears in an Ex command.
