Windows 10, Emacs 25.1, Helm
I want to find text "test3". So I use helm-occur
As result I get 5 candidates. Nice.
Now I want to edit text direct in buffer helm-occur.
How I can do this?

Install the package wgrep-helm, then
- Save the occur result to a separate buffer with C-x C-s (
helm-moccur-run-save-buffer) - Change to wgrep mode with C-c C-p (
wgrep-change-to-wgrep-mode) - Edit the buffer like a normal buffer
- Apply the changes with C-x C-s (
wgrep-finish-edit)
By the way, the above is documented via C-h m (helm-help).

I need direct edit "Helm-occur" AND as result the buffer "text.txt" to change "on fly". Is it possible? Commented Aug 15, 2018 at 12:16

Maybe better use package "Emacs-wgrep" because "wgrep-helm" was closed ? Commented Aug 15, 2018 at 12:26

@Alexei The package name is
wgrep-helm, which is provided by the project Emacs-wgrep. Commented Aug 15, 2018 at 12:59 -
Can one put
C-x C-sto action list? And how to bindC-c C-pin the "save buffer" mode? Commented Aug 15, 2018 at 14:11 -
@theldoria
C-x C-sis a normal Emacs command, not a helm action. It doesn't make sense to add it to the action list.C-c C-pis the default binding out of box (assuming you are a package.el user and having the package wgrep-helm installed.). Commented Aug 15, 2018 at 15:31
