  • fzf-lua

    Improved fzf.vim written in lua

  • You can try fzf-lua, although not exactly swiper there are tons of config options and if you’re willing to invest some time in customization you can get close enough (aside from the “use current buffer for preview”). As for the preview it can use a neovim window (like Telescope), bat or any other terminal utility and I recently added support for fzf-tmux so it can be opened outside of neovim in a tmux split or popup.

  • nvim-bqf

    Better quickfix window in Neovim, polish old quickfix window.

  • There are a number of plugins to edit the quickfix window, I like: https://github.com/kevinhwang91/nvim-bqf

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • vim-ripgrep

    Use RipGrep in Vim and display results in a quickfix list

  • Sometimes I still use https://github.com/jremmen/vim-ripgrep to ripgrep non-interactively with more complex searches over bigger projects, which populates the quickfix list, the rely on bqf for extra functionality

  • ddu-ui-ff

    Fuzzy finder UI for ddu.vim

  • ddu.vim

    Dark deno-powered UI framework for neovim/Vim
