What do you mean? You could pass an empty pattern. But that will match everything.

Maybe talk about your use case at a higher level.

    Thanks for the response. I would like to use fzf with rg to search file contents with a previewer open. However when I first open fzf I don't wish to pass any argument to rg, until I start typing. Something like Telescope live_grep.

      That's more a question for fzf than for ripgrep. ripgrep doesn't have any interactive mode. You give it arguments and it runs. That's it. ripgrep doesn't have any mode where it waits for user input (unless it's waiting for stdin).

        You could have incorporated some snark or something, but no, you're always the most helpful you can be. You're very inspirational - thank you!

        (Also like thanks for ripgrep I guess?)

          Why even say this?
