snap VS telescope.nvim

https://github.com/camspiers/snap is written in fennel which compiles to lua.

Fuzzy finders (telescope, or snap for the hipsters)

I have gone through many plugins for finding files and live grep. Last time I switched from https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim to https://github.com/camspiers/snap. I liked, that is snap is perceivably faster. My main grudge against snap is that I can't manage to use lsp as a source producer. So I am looking for a new plugin.

It's been a long road to get here, and required refactoring, like, 95% of the original code, but I'm proud to announce that I've just release Dash.nvim v0.8.0, now supporting Telescope, fzf-lua, and Snap!

Does it support bat previews instead of native? All I could find was this comment in a closed PR.

Lua plugins. If you don't want to write lua, that's fine, but that's something plugin authors may wish to do... and they do! They can write more complex and performant plugins more easily. (e.g. snap with user-customizable async producer/consumer API, telescope.nvim, lightspeed.nvim, LSP plugins, ...)

I recommend this: https://github.com/camspiers/snap

for telescope.nvim (optional) live grep: ripgrep find files: fd

Here we have a configuration for telescope.nvim, a very popular fuzzy finder.

EDIT: I found what I was looking for https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim and https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-file-browser.nvim

Fuzzy Finder: fzf.vim (for its speed) along with telescope.nvim (for its ecosystem)

Just landed on Telescope.nvim: https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim/pull/2572

This extension allows you to use the power of ast-grep to find code patterns in your editor, using the familiar and awesome interface of telescope.nvim.

telescope.nvim

My solution is using telescope.nvim with lsp extension, and map the vim.lsp.buf.definition keybinding to telescope one https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim
