distant.nvim VS telescope.nvim

Oops, meant distant, https://distant.dev/.

2) There is a remote working plugin to not have the overhead of sshfs copying around files https://github.com/chipsenkbeil/distant.nvim, but you could also role your own with neovim now having remote mode and lua runner. Main caveat is how to get consistent file system view.

- What do you think of other plugins e.g.: https://github.com/chipsenkbeil/distant.nvim?

This is something I've been tracking pretty closely. My understanding of the current options: 1. Use sshfs. Pros: nothing to install on the remote server. Cons: will choke on huge filesystems when doing some operations (e.g. fuzzy finding). Also requires all your LSP/linting/analysis tools to be installed locally, which may not be the case if your company is transitioning to remote developer environments. 2. Use netrw or similar. Pros: nothing to install. Cons: will not play nice with LSP, fuzzy finding, or anything else. 3. Use distant.nvim. At this point, basically the same as netrw except that maybe remote LSP will work. 4. SSH to the server and use nvim there. Pros: simple and everything works. Cons: Have to install nvim on the server. SSH connection may cause typing lag if the RTT is high (some people report that Mosh can help the lag issue)

The reason being is that I've written a service called distant with a companion neovim plugin, distant.nvim, and want to provide forms of authentication in the same vein as ssh.

Did a lot if research. there is distant.nvim that tries to solve it maybe it will work for you.

I either use the vi / vim that's on the server or connect remotely using https://github.com/chipsenkbeil/distant.nvim

Regarding the last part of your comment: you may get some value out of this plugin, https://github.com/chipsenkbeil/distant.nvim, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVAsbpByQ3o.

I've not used it but your use case made me wonder if there's a nice way to do it, as I regularly SSH into my NAS and RPi's, so I had a quick search.

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
