+# ack.vim #
+
+This plugin is a front for the Perl module
+[App::Ack](http://search.cpan.org/~petdance/ack/ack).  Ack can be used as a
+replacement for 99% of the uses of _grep_.  This plugin will allow you to run
+ack from vim, and shows the results in a split window.
+
+The *Official Version* of this plugin is available at [vim.org](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2572).
+
+## Installation ##
+
+
+### Ack
+
+You have to install [ack](http://betterthangrep.com/), of course.
+
+Install on Debian / Ubuntu with:
+
+    sudo apt-get install ack-grep
+
+For Debian / Ubuntu you can add this line into your .vimrc:
+
+    let g:ackprg="ack-grep -H --nocolor --nogroup --column"
+
+Install on Gentoo with:
+
+    sudo emerge ack
+
+Install with Homebrew:
+
+    brew install ack
+
+Install with MacPorts:
+
+    sudo port install p5-app-ack
+
+Install with Gentoo Prefix
+
+    emerge ack
+
+Otherwise, you are on your own.
+
+### The Plugin
+
+If you have [Rake](http://rake.rubyforge.org/) installed, you can just run: `rake install`.
+
+Otherwise, the file ack.vim goes in ~/.vim/plugin, and the ack.txt file belongs in ~/.vim/doc.  Be sure to run
+
+    :helptags ~/.vim/doc
+
+afterwards.
+
+
+## Usage ##
+
+    :Ack [options] {pattern} [{directory}]
+
+Search recursively in {directory} (which defaults to the current directory) for the {pattern}.
+
+Files containing the search term will be listed in the split window, along with
+the line number of the occurrence, once for each occurrence.  [Enter] on a line
+in this window will open the file, and place the cursor on the matching line.
+
+Just like where you use :grep, :grepadd, :lgrep, and :lgrepadd, you can use `:Ack`, `:AckAdd`, `:LAck`, and `:LAckAdd` respectively. (See `doc/ack.txt`, or install and `:h Ack` for more information.)
+
+**From the [ack docs](http://betterthangrep.com/)** (my favorite feature):
+
+    --type=TYPE, --type=noTYPE
+
+        Specify the types of files to include or exclude from a search. TYPE is a filetype, like perl or xml. --type=perl can also be specified as --perl, and --type=noperl can be done as --noperl.
+
+        If a file is of both type "foo" and "bar", specifying --foo and --nobar will exclude the file, because an exclusion takes precedence over an inclusion.
+
+        Type specifications can be repeated and are ORed together.
+
+        See ack --help=types for a list of valid types.
+
+### Keyboard Shortcuts ###
+
+In the quickfix window, you can use:
+
+    o    to open (same as enter)
+    go   to preview file (open but maintain focus on ack.vim results)
+    t    to open in new tab
+    T    to open in new tab silently
+    v    to open in vertical split
+    gv   to open in vertical split silently
+    q    to close the quickfix window
+
+This Vim plugin is derived (and by derived, I mean copied, essentially) from
+Antoine Imbert's blog post [Ack and Vim
+Integration](http://blog.ant0ine.com/typepad/2007/03/ack-and-vim-integration.html) (in
+particular, the function at the bottom of the post).  I added a help file that
+provides just enough reference to get you going.  I also highly recommend you
+check out the docs for the Perl script 'ack', for obvious reasons: [ack -
+grep-like text finder](http://betterthangrep.com/).

+*ack.txt*   Plugin that integrates ack with Vim
+
+==============================================================================
+Author:  Antoine Imbert <antoine.imbert+ackvim@gmail.com>         *ack-author*
+License: Same terms as Vim itself (see |license|)
+
+==============================================================================
+INTRODUCTION                                                             *ack*
+
+This plugin is a front for the Perl module App::Ack.  Ack can be used as a
+replacement for grep.  This plugin will allow you to run ack from vim, and
+shows the results in a split window.
+
+:Ack[!] [options] {pattern} [{directory}]                               *:Ack*
+
+    Search recursively in {directory} (which defaults to the current
+    directory) for the {pattern}.  Behaves just like the |:grep| command, but
+    will open the |Quickfix| window for you. If [!] is not given the first
+    error is jumped to.
+
+:AckAdd [options] {pattern} [{directory}]                            *:AckAdd*
+
+    Just like |:Ack|, but instead of making a new list, the matches are
+    appended to the current |quickfix| list.
+
+:AckFromSearch [{directory}]                                  *:AckFromSearch*
+
+    Just like |:Ack| but the pattern is from previous search.
+
+:LAck [options] {pattern} [{directory}]                                *:LAck*
+
+    Just like |:Ack| but instead of the |quickfix| list, matches are placed in
+    the current |location-list|.
+
+:LAckAdd [options] {pattern} [{directory}]                          *:LAckAdd*
+
+    Just like |:AckAdd| but instead of the |quickfix| list, matches are added
+    to the current |location-list|
+
+:AckFile [options] {pattern} [{directory}]                          *:AckFile*
+
+    Search recursively in {directory} (which defaults to the current
+    directory) for filenames matching the {pattern}.  Behaves just like the
+    |:grep| command, but will open the |Quickfix| window for you.
+
+Files containing the search term will be listed in the split window, along
+with the line number of the occurrence, once for each occurrence.  <Enter> on
+a line in this window will open the file, and place the cursor on the matching
+line.
+
+See http://betterthangrep.com/ for more information.

+MAPPINGS                                                        *ack-mappings*
+
+The following keyboard shortcuts are available in the quickfix window:
+
+o                   open file (same as enter).
+
+go                  preview file (open but maintain focus on ack.vim results).
+
+t                   open in a new tab.
+
+T                   open in new tab silently.
+
+v                   open in vertical split.
+
+gv                  open in vertical split silently.
+
+q                   close the quickfix window.
