Installation
Grab it from Releases and unzip somewhere. Works best when you can
launch it from command line.
If you want to install RoughGrep for Explorer right click context menu, run "rgg --install" as administator.
Press F12 ('go to definition) to search for the word under cursor, or the currently selected text.
You can modify RipGrep command line arguments after launch by clicking the ComboBox from the Status Bar.
If you want to find file names instead of finding contents, use the --files command line argument.
Then, the "text to search for" inputs becomes the list of glob patterns instead.
