dash.nvim VS fine-cmdline.nvim

Here's a simple example of how to build a custom Telescope picker, taken from my Dash.nvim plugin: https://github.com/mrjones2014/dash.nvim/blob/0934c31a7c6b6aa40d6866f8840f8836ff4efecc/lua/dash/providers/telescope.lua

Hi, author of dash.nvim here, a plugin for Neovim that allows you to search Dash.app directly from Neovim with your favorite fuzzy-finder plugin (currently supports Telescope, fzf-lua, and Snap).

Hey y'all, author of Dash.nvim here, a Neovim plugin for Dash.app, written primarily in Rust in order to achieve true parallelism and performance.

Maybe the wrong place to ask but do you think this project (my first Rust project) is good enough to get me a Rust job if I already work at the company in a different department doing HTML/CSS/TypeScript/React? https://github.com/mrjones2014/dash.nvim

Check out my plugin dash.nvim, the majority is written in Rust. You can do the same with C. Look up “Lua cffi”, there’s a few different libraries that work with a foreign function interface (FFI) between Lua and C.

Dash.nvim is a plugin that allows you to search Dash.app (a documentation aggregator app for Mac) from within Neovim. At first, it started as a Telescope extension, but after my first time posting it in this sub, I received demand for the same thing to support other fuzzy finders (I've also got an open issue to add Linux support using Dasht or Zeal, Linux clients for Dash docsets).

fzf-lua is now supported with v0.7.0!

I'm the author of Dash.nvim and this morning I got this issue: https://github.com/mrjones2014/dash.nvim/issues/63

Check out Dash.nvim and see for yourself!

I have fine-cmdline.nvim. It does what I need but it doesn't the UI I want. Is basically a floating input, nothing fancy.

In your reply you mentioned that users can create plugins with "better" ui for cmdline and link to https://github.com/VonHeikemen/fine-cmdline.nvim

fine-cmdline.nvim, enter ex-commands in a floating input (uses nui.nvim).

Potentially https://github.com/VonHeikemen/fine-cmdline.nvim?

For the command line area there is fine-cmdline. Haven't used it personally.

There isn't. Not a real pretty command palette anyway. There is fine-cmdline, but that just offers you a floating input.

Although I remember I saw fine-cmdline, maybe that's what you're looking for (I haven't tried it myself)

I've been using it for a few weeks and other than not being able to see the command line (which can be solved with another plugin), it's basically perfect.

In fine-cmdline I use an on_change event (provided by nui.nvim's input) to manipulate an internal variable in realtime. It's what's makes possible "smart history search".

fine-cmdline.nvim is the plugin.
