fzy-lua-native VS fzy

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.

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.

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.

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.

You know that there is basically a standard set, imposed by Windows in about 1986 or something and also supported in GNOME 2, MATE, Xfce, LXDE, etc etc.? I am more interested in if it supports them. I mean, I don't know what your set are, and I am not for a moment saying there's anything wrong with them, but there are standards for this stuff, used heavily by millions of blind computer users for example.

Could be. I am a professional assessor of, and commentator on, this stuff, though.

I mainly use a desktop I switched to in 2011. :-) Before that, I changed in 2004, after a change in 2001, after a change in 1995, after a change in 1992, after one in 1989, etc. etc.

I mean I am an old pharte, fair call, but I am a reasonably adaptable one, I think. :-D

What is "fzy"?

> Then make the panel vertical instead of horizontal

Why don't any of the screenshots show that, then?

I see 6 horizontal panels in the screenies on the homepage and Github, and one with none. From that, I don't think it's unreasonable to conclude this is not a core feature or something.

I've been mostly using fzy which is written in C. I hope skim's matching algorithm is as good as fzy's…

At the time of writing of this comment, the commit history shows that the latest commit 9aa19d3 was added on Jan 23, 2022, so I'd argue that changes are still being made, just at a slower pace.

https://github.com/jhawthorn/fzy/tree/master/src We'd just need to write a c binding to it similar to fzf-native but I don't know if anyone will be motivated enough to do it. Should take an afternoon for anyone interested and want to plug it into fussy.

Fzy claims to have a more refined algorithm so I switched to the telescope plugin to see if I noticed a difference before I switched my whole shell to use it. I found the native plugin to actually make my telescope unstable and lock up the editor, requiring me to nuke the entire shell so I'm back at fzf native. I'm actually planning to try telescope native since they apparently just merged a massive performance PR.

A while ago there was a post on this sub about a plugin called wilder.nvim which looks absolutely awesome. Wilder seems super configurable and it's README has a bunch of different suggested configurations. However, it is designed to work with both Vim and Neovim, but does have a config for Neovim, but it depends on kinda odd plugins like cpsm (which uses ctrlp.vim) as well as fzy.
