When using grep from VIM, how to jump to results?

Question

In my bootstrap.groovy I'm adding:

TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone('America/Detroit'))

This works just fine when running my app locally; it changes the timezone correctly.

But when I deploy my app to my VPS, which is running CentOS Linux 6.5, the time is offset by three hours. Note: It is increased by three hours.

Also, I am running my app on Tomcat 7. I've tried adding:

export JAVA_OPTS="-Duser.timezone=America/Detroit"

to my setenv.sh file but this does not seem to work.

My server's system time and hardware time is correctly set and working. So I have NO idea why Tomcat is adding three hours to my dates!

Any help or guidance is appreciated!

Solution

When you press ENTER, you should be looking at line 3 of file1.txt. To jump to the next match, execute :cn; to jump to the previous match, execute :cp. Executing :copen will open a window containing the list of matches. Move the cursor to the desired match and press ENTER to jump to that match.

For more on using :grep, see

:help grep
:help quickfix.txt

Typing :cn and :cp to move forward and backward in the quickfix list can be awkward, so I use these mappings:

nmap <silent> <C-N> :cn<CR>zv
nmap <silent> <C-P> :cp<CR>zv

Also, the :grep command is not a plugin; it's part of Vim.

Great answer, thanks! BTW, can you do a recursive search through folders with vim grep?

As long as you are running on a Unix system, you can add whatever arguments to Vim's :grep that you would add to a grep command executed from the shell. So, you could do a recursive search through all .txt files in and below the current directory with :grep -R --include=*.txt Ryan .. You can also perform a recursive search using Vim's :vimgrep command, but the arguments are different and I seldom use because it is slower than :grep.

Thanks. I'm going to use UTC format throughout my app. I posted a new problem though that arises from this here: stackoverflow.com/questions/24898020/…
