configure the grep behaviour

[leoluz]

Thank you for your work on this great extension!

I'd like to configure the search_log_content function to grep on commit messages instead of commit content. I read your doc but didn't find if this is possible or not. Can you please clarify?

Thanks again!

In the search_log_content there is no way to search based on the commit message. It was designed to search in the content of the commits (added, deleted, or moved text).

I can try to implement a keymap to change the grep behavior while searching. Something like this: https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim/blob/b79cd6c88b3d96b0f49cb7d240807cd59b610cd8/lua/telescope/actions/init.lua#L1270-L1290

this keymap does work already for filtering over the commit message.
I believe the issue can be closed.

@dudicoco
Does this work out of the box? and what's the keymap? I think it's limited to some of the default telescope pickers.
Anyway, I want to keep the fzf-lua implementation consistent with telescope, so I need to verify this.
As this is not a very easy feature, I didn't find the time for it.

@aaronhallaert the default keymap is c-space: https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim/blob/dc1ea28cc2a02cd1cebb9d80e967807d668f78f8/lua/telescope/builtin/__files.lua#L180

I've used a different binding for this keymap but other than that it's working for me out of the box.

[dudicoco]

it's possible that this keymap is limited to live grep by default, if that's the case add it to the defaults:

			require("telescope").setup({
				defaults = {
					mappings = {
						i = {
							["<C-f>"] = require("telescope.actions").to_fuzzy_refine,
						},
					},
				},
			})

Good to know that this already works for Telescope.
