It's now possible to edit results buffers inside deadgrep! This has been a much requested feature. https://github.com/Wilfred/deadgrep/issues/12
I'd love to hear any feedback you have on the design. #emacs

I've been compilation buffers in Emacs recently and I really appreciate the error and warning counts shown in the modeline.
I've added the equivalent feature to deadgrep: it shows result counts! Really useful when you're doing big refactorings.

Further tinkering with diagnostics, following feedback!
* Two lines of context above and below now.
* The caret is included in the line below where possible.
* Syntax highlighting of keywords.
I kinda feel that smart context sizing would be better. What do you think so far?
One interesting design choice in Emacs that I haven't seen in other editors: reserved shortcuts.
An Emacs extension shouldn't use F5 through F12, or Ctrl-c LETTER. This lets users configure their own shortcuts. https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Key-Bindings.html
Does it exist elsewhere? I miss it in VS Code, where e.g. all the Fn keys are already assigned.
