Currently I have a short cut to call the function 'helm-ag' (Using evil-leader)

 (evil-leader/set-leader ".")
 (evil-leader/set-key "g" 'helm-ag)

When 'helm-ag' is called with the Universal-argument (Ctrl - U) it allows me to choose in which directory I'd like to run the command. I use this all the time so I'd like to create a permanent short to specifically run the 'helm-ag' with the universal argument.

I've tried this:

(evil-leader/set-key "g" '(lambda () (interactive)(universal-argument)(helm-ag))

But it doesn't work. Any ideas?

Thanks

You need:

(evil-leader/set-key
 "g"
 (lambda ()
   (interactive)
   (setq current-prefix-arg '(4))
   (helm-ag)))

  • You're right. Please update your answer with the complete command and I'll be glad to mark it as the right answer. (evil-leader/set-key "g" '(lambda () (interactive)(setq current-prefix-arg '(4))(helm-ag))) – RafaelGP Feb 19 '15 at 13:57
  • I haven't tried but the following should also work: (lambda () (interactive) (helm-ag 4)). – Kaushal Modi Feb 19 '15 at 14:06

    @kaushalmodi, it doesn't since helm-ag literally checks for current-prefix-arg. – abo-abo Feb 19 '15 at 14:38
