guess-indent.nvim VS telescope.nvim

Instead of setting setlocal tabstop=2 shiftwidth=2 softtabstop=2 in each file, I recommend using the following plugin: guess-indent.nvim. It provides automatic indentation style detection for Neovim, which can simplify the process.

The fantastic nmac427/guess-indent.nvim package is used to automatically detect the indentation scheme when a file is opened.

In addition to editorconfig, which other comments have mentioned, there are also plugins that can set your indentation options based on the presence of tabs or spaces in the files you have open. I like guess-indent.nvim.

I use a combination of guess-indent.nvim and :h listchars. Here's how I use them together in my config.

If you want to have a different indentation based on the current file context, take a look at this plugin: https://github.com/NMAC427/guess-indent.nvim

I'd add guess-indent to that list as well, if you're working on a project that doesn't have a set standard on indentation.

I use this plugin guess-indent.nvim

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
