fine-cmdline.nvim VS telescope.nvim

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.

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
