vim-clap VS telescope-fzf-native.nvim

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)

- the scoring may be done with telescope-fzf-native, but it is then sorted in lua.

Looking at https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim/blob/main/Makefile this actually makes the lib, as there's a target=libfzf in there. Doesn't seem to have a requirement on fzf.

Based on the accounts of many here, it seems that fzf-lua is faster than Telescope. Are we talking about the default sorter in Telescope or also the fzf sorter also?

local telescope = require("telescope") local trouble_provider = require("trouble.providers.telescope") telescope.setup({ live_grep = { --@usage don't include the filename in the search results only_sort_text = true, theme = "dropdown", }, extensions = { fzf = { fuzzy = true, -- false will only do exact matching override_generic_sorter = true, -- override the generic sorter override_file_sorter = true, -- override the file sorter case_mode = "smart_case", -- or "ignore_case" or "respect_case" }, }, defaults = { vimgrep_arguments = { 'rg', '--color=never', '--no-heading', '--with-filename', '--line-number', '--column', '--hidden', '--smart-case', '--glob "!.git"', }, mappings = { i = { -- source: https://github.com/folke/trouble.nvim [""] = trouble_provider.open_with_trouble, }, n = { -- source: https://github.com/folke/trouble.nvim [""] = trouble_provider.open_with_trouble, }, }, set_env = { ["COLORTERM"] = "truecolor" }, -- default = nil, }, }) -- source: https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim require("telescope").load_extension("fzf")

This might help: telescope-fzf-native

It's not fuzzy during the live_grep itself, but by hitting `` you can fuzzy search among the results shown. You can even use the fzf syntax with https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim/issues.

Are you using telescope-fzf-native.nvim?

I'm trying to install telescope-fzf-native.nvim following the instructions in its page. I've added to my init.lua the following line of code:
