fzy-lua-native VS vim-clap

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.

I'm thrilled to share that the latest vim-clap has now integrated the tree-sitter highlighting into Vim and NeoVim. It's a PoC implementation and not extensively tested though, bugs are expected. Some early feedback is highly appreciated, and read more in this post!

It has been two years since I last posted about the update of vim-clap. A lot of features have been added to vim-clap since then, check out the CHANGELOG if you are interested. Today I want to share with you a feature that I want to support in vim-clap for quite a long time: the search syntax of fzf, which is powerful yet pretty handy in my opinion. Feel free to try #738 and leave some feedback.

Free free to test the PR #738 and leave some feedback.

I'll also take the occasion to recommend clap.vim, which is the picker I use. It's super cool, fast, and uses a rust backend for more intensive searches.

- https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim or https://github.com/liuchengxu/vim-clap for file navigation (I'm still deciding which one I will continue to use)

vim-clap supports filer so I can search for files in different directories outside my project.

(For me) New vimscript fuzzy finder I was unaware about: https://github.com/liuchengxu/vim-clap (the search field is a vim buffer which I loved)
