wgrep and Meow

[zetashift]

Does anybody have some sortof quick tutorial on how to use multicursor/beacon mode for Meow and wgrep in a Emacs buffer?
I'm a bit lost on:

• how to move around the MOTION grep buffer
• how to use multicursor to edit the buffer and save using wgrep

Hi, sorry for the late reply. If you need to edit the buffer, then insertion mode is a better choice for the buffer's initial Meow state.
You can customize the meow-mode-state-list¹ in your config, for example:

(add-to-list 'meow-mode-state-list '(rg-mode . normal))

which instructs Meow to enter the rg-mode buffer (showing the results of ripgrep search) with normal-mode.

When you start wgrep, meow should switch to normal state automatically. Then you can do simple query/replace. Usually, you don't need beacon state here, if you do, just do it the same way as you do in normal text buffer.
