It would be nice to be able to use the same keymaps from ctrlp's fuzzy file search with ag.vim.

The current functionality is kept as the default.

The helper `ag#AgSetDefaultMappings` takes one argument, `matches_window_prefix`,
which is determined by whether the matches window is a location list or quickfix
window. Custom keymaps can now be given by setting the `g:ag_lmapping_func` and
`g:ag_qmapping_func` options.
The option `g:ag_mapping_message_text` can now be used to display
a custom message when the location list / quickfix window opens.


*g:ag_qmapping_func*
A custom command used to set key mappings for the quickfix window. Default:

Why not just use a map, like ctrlp does?

I'm not against doing that, but wouldn't that require two keymaps? One for quickfix window mode and one for location list mode? The current implementation allows for a function that can take arguments and avoid duplicate code.

Again, I'm not against switching over to something like that, since ack.vim seems to do a similar thing. I'm actually interested in the logistics.

You could have three optional sections. Global mappings, location list
mappings, and quickfix mappings. The most specific mappings would take
precedence, falling back to default values if we didn't find a specific
mapping or group of mappings.
