    Shoutout to fzf-lua for adding support for code action previews! I just updated my config and I'm quite happy with the result :)

    With fzf-lua every selection sent to qf (or loclist) generated a new list with the context as name (I.e files: lua), you can then browse the quick fix history with :FzfLua quickfix_stack.

  • Fzf-lua extension for todo-comments.nvim?
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 10 May 2023
    Hello everyone, I am a happy user of both fzf-lua and todo-comments.nvim. I will never thank the authors of these two very useful plugins enough. Now, given that there are a lot of people out there using both and that todo-comments only has a Trouble and a Telescope extension for navigating through the comments, I am wondering if someone ever came up with an fzf-lua extension for todo-comments.nvim. I haven't found it by a quick online search, but maybe someone is keeping it very well hidden in their dotfiles.
  • Update: Advanced Git Search for fzf-lua
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 10 May 2023
    I recently made a Telescope extension to search your git history by content, commit message and author (reddit post). I extended the plugin so you can use it with fzf-lua 🚀
  • Telescope fuzzy-finding not working as expected
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 30 Apr 2023
    I use https://github.com/ibhagwan/fzf-lua and in my opinion its better than Telescope. It was always faster but maybe Telescope has cought up now, not sure. But it also has stuff like filtering results by simple regex like I do in pic here.
  • I'm stumped
    8 projects | /r/neovim | 2 Apr 2023
    Like what? I haven't run into any issues. The main one is that some plugins only support Linux, mainly fzf-lua (and I've contributed like 1-line patches to other plugins to add support for windows.)
