Emacs doesn't handle long line lengths very well. If you accidentally rg a file a file that has very long line lengths it can freeze emacs. This prevents rg from returning any results with more than 150 characters. Instead, it will indicate that there were results in that file but they were elided. |

Ivy layer
Description
This layer enables Ivy for completion. It will replace the default completion by Helm.
These completion systems are the central control towers of Spacemacs, they are used to manage buffers, projects, search results, configuration layers, toggles and more…
Mastering your choice of completion system will make you a Spacemacs power user.
Install
To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs
. You will need to
add ivy
to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
list in this
file.
Configuration
You can customize ivy with the following variables:
ivy-wrap
Whether C-n and C-p should wrap-around when at the the first or last candidate. The default value is nil.ivy-extra-directories
Setting this tonil
hides . and .. directories from file name completion. You can still go up a directory up byDEL
. The default value is ("../", "./").ivy-use-virtual-buffers
Add bookmarks and recent files to buffer completion menu. The Spacemacs default is t.ivy-height
The height of the minibuffer. The Spacemacs default is 15.
Key Bindings
If you choose ivy
as completion system, make sure to read the official manual.
In case you don't want to read everything, at least familiarise with
minibuffer key bindings.
Some useful key bindings are presented in the following table.

---|---|
RET |
call default action on current candidate |
M-RET |
the same as RET but doesn't close completion minibuffer |
C-M-j |
use current input immediately (this can be used to create a new file in Find File) |
tab |
complete partially |
M-o |
show the list of valid actions on current candidate (then press any of described keys to execute it) |
C-M-o |
the same as M-o but doesn't close completion minibuffer |
C-' |
use avy to quickly select completion on current page (sometimes faster than using arrows) |
<ESC> |

anytime in Ivy to get into the transient state.
Key Binding | Description |

j |
select next candidate |
k |
