  • kirby.nvim: design update
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 7 Jun 2023
    I don't think it would be a good idea to integrate with telescope, I don't like the design of that plugin too much. Kirby's filtering backend uses fzy-lua-native, which is faster than out-of-the-box telescope. That backend was originally wrote for telescrope tbh (& vim-clap), but they never made it the default so AFAIK they still use lua filtering for basic cases.
  • kirby.nvim - fuzzy picker based on kui.nvim
    5 projects | /r/neovim | 13 Feb 2023
    It uses fzy-lua-native for filtering, another of my creations in need of love. It filters on the main thread but should be responsive for repos up to maybe a few thousand files.
  • Looking for a neat Neovim config for wilder.nvim
    8 projects | /r/neovim | 11 Aug 2021
    fzy-lua-native similary doesn't use fzy, it's a matcher based on the algorithm that fzy uses. This is actually the same matcher used under the hood in telescope-fzy-native.

    They really should make that extension the default. Besides, the backing fzy bindings also include a lua fallback, it would be much nicer for users to not have to mess around with tons of options to get a fast by default picker. (Disclaimer: I'm the author of the backing fzy bindings)

    Anyway, if you're interested in doing the switch open an issue we can discuss further, but otherwise it's not a big deal.
  • Fuzzy.nvim [ Neovim plugin ]
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 18 Apr 2021
    I saw that you're spawning a new job for sorting things. If you're interested, fzy-lua-native is the standalone fzy lua bindings that telescope.nvim and other projects use. It comes with pre-compiled binaries for common OSes (included as-is, no install step needed; but just make otherwise), and fallbacks to a lua fzy implementation in case the binary fails to load.

  • Code action previews with `fzf-lua`!
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 10 Dec 2023
    Shoutout to fzf-lua for adding support for code action previews! I just updated my config and I'm quite happy with the result :)
  • Simplest way to incorporate fzf
    1 project | /r/neovim | 22 Jul 2023
    Glance an eye to fzf-lua, the quickstart section let you try the plugin in seconds.
  • Your favourite Neovim plugins?

    fzf-lua - fast and minimal Telescope alternative.
  • fzfx.vim: E(x)tended fzf commands missing in fzf.vim
    4 projects | /r/vim | 19 Jun 2023
    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.)

What are some alternatives?
