  • What is a Treesitter Search?
    1 project | /r/neovim | 6 Oct 2023
    I came across this term in https://github.com/folke/flash.nvim but couldn't figure out how to use this Search method.
  • A way to go to surrounding treesitter nodes
    1 project | /r/neovim | 18 Aug 2023
    flash.nvim supports jumping to treesitter nodes by labels(just like leap does for searching text). You might want to give that a try and see if it fits your needs.
  • F/f/T/t highlight plugin?
    8 projects | /r/neovim | 10 Jul 2023
    The new plugin from Folke https://github.com/folke/flash.nvim has enhanced f, t, F, T motions and tons leap motions features!
  • New input method
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 10 Jul 2023
    There actually is one plugin, namely flash.nvim, which does something roughly in that direction for search; as soon as you type a unique string it jumps you to the respective location. https://github.com/folke/flash.nvim

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

    Thanks to fzf.vim and fzf-lua, everything I learned and copied is from them.
  • How to manage quickfix list history
    5 projects | /r/neovim | 17 Jun 2023
    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.)
