I have an alias for `vim -p $(git grep -li "$1") +"/$1"` that allows me to quickly open files that contain a given string.

I used something similar for a long time, but the past few years I've been using Path Picker.

  rg string | fpp
  git status | fpp
  git diff head~1 | fpp

And with Zsh suffixes you can even drop the pipe.
