Overview

telescope.nvim

Gaze deeply into unknown regions using the power of the moon.

What Is Telescope?

telescope.nvim is a highly extendable fuzzy finder over lists. Built on the latest awesome features from neovim core. Telescope is centered around modularity, allowing for easy customization.

Community driven builtin pickers, sorters and previewers.

_{For more showcases of Telescope, please visit the Showcase section in the Telescope Wiki}

Getting Started

This section should guide you to run your first builtin pickers.

Neovim (v0.5) or newer is required for telescope.nvim to work.

Suggested dependencies

BurntSushi/ripgrep is required for live_grep and grep_string

We also suggest you install one native telescope sorter to significantly improve sorting performance. Take a look at either telescope-fzf-native.nvim or telescope-fzy-native.nvim. For more information and a performance benchmark take a look at the Extensions wiki.

Optional dependencies

sharkdp/fd (finder)
nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter (finder/preview)
neovim LSP (picker)
devicons (icons)

Installation

Using vim-plug

Plug 'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'
Plug 'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim'

Using dein

call dein#add('nvim-lua/plenary.nvim')
call dein#add('nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim')

Using packer.nvim

use {
  'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim',
  requires = { {'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'} }
}

checkhealth

Make sure you call :checkhealth telescope after installing telescope to ensure everything is setup correctly.

After this setup you can continue reading here or switch to :help telescope to get an understanding of how to use Telescope and how to configure it.

Customization

This section should help you explore available options to configure and customize your telescope.nvim.

Unlike most vim plugins, telescope.nvim can be customized by either applying customizations globally, or individually per picker.

Global Customization affecting all pickers can be done through the main setup() method (see defaults below)
Individual Customization affecting a single picker by passing opts to builtin pickers (e.g. builtin.find_files(opts)) see Configuration recipes wiki page for ideas.

  }
}

To look at what default configuration options exist please read: :help telescope.setup(). For picker specific opts please read: :help telescope.builtin.

To embed the above code snippet in a .vim file (for example in after/plugin/telescope.nvim.vim), wrap it in lua << EOF code-snippet EOF:

lua << EOF

Default Mappings

Mappings are fully customizable. Many familiar mapping patterns are setup as defaults.

Mappings	Action
`/`	Next item
`/`	Previous item
`j/k`	Next/previous (in normal mode)
`H/M/L`	Select High/Middle/Low (in normal mode)
'gg/G'	Select the first/last item (in normal mode)
	Confirm selection
	Go to file selection as a split
	Go to file selection as a vsplit
	Go to a file in a new tab
	Scroll up in preview window
	Scroll down in preview window
	Show mappings for picker actions (insert mode)
`?`	Show mappings for picker actions (normal mode)
	Close telescope
	Close telescope (in normal mode)
	Toggle selection and move to next selection
	Toggle selection and move to prev selection
	Send all items not filtered to quickfixlist (qflist)
	Send all selected items to qflist

To see the full list of mappings, check out lua/telescope/mappings.lua and the default_mappings table.

Tip: you can use and ? in insert and normal mode, respectively, to show the actions mapped to your picker.

Much like builtin pickers, there are a number of actions you can pick from to remap your telescope buffer mappings, or create a new custom action:

-- Built-in actions
local transform_mod = require('telescope.actions.mt').transform_mod

-- or create your custom action
local my_cool_custom_action = transform_mod({
  x = function(prompt_bufnr)
    print("This function ran after another action. Prompt_bufnr: " .. prompt_bufnr)
    -- Enter your function logic here. You can take inspiration from lua/telescope/actions.lua
  end,
})

To remap telescope mappings, please read :help telescope.defaults.mappings. To do picker specific mappings, its suggested to do this with the pickers table in telescope.setup. Each picker accepts a mappings table like its explained in :help telescope.defaults.mappings.

`previewers.vim_buffer_vimgrep.new`	Default previewer for grep and similar. Uses vim buffers
`previewers.vim_buffer_qflist.new`	Default previewer for qflist. Uses vim buffers
`previewers.cat.new`	Deprecated previewer for files. Uses `cat`/`bat`
`previewers.vimgrep.new`	Deprecated previewer for grep and similar. Uses `cat`/`bat`
`previewers.qflist.new`	Deprecated previewer for qflist. Uses `cat`/`bat`

The default previewers are from now on vim_buffer_ previewers. They use vim buffers for displaying files and use tree-sitter or regex for file highlighting.

These previewers are guessing the filetype of the selected file, so there might be cases where they miss, leading to wrong highlights. This is because we can't determine the filetype in the traditional way: We don't do bufload and instead read the file asynchronously with vim.loop.fs_ and attach only a highlighter; otherwise the speed of the previewer would slow down considerably. If you want to configure more filetypes, take a look at plenary wiki.

If you want to configure the vim_buffer_ previewer (e.g. you want the line to wrap), do this:

autocmd User TelescopePreviewerLoaded setlocal wrap

Sorters

Sorters	Description
`sorters.get_fuzzy_file`	Telescope's default sorter for files
`sorters.get_generic_fuzzy_sorter`	Telescope's default sorter for everything else
`sorters.get_levenshtein_sorter`	Using Levenshtein distance algorithm (don't use :D)
`sorters.get_fzy_sorter`	Using fzy algorithm
`sorters.fuzzy_with_index_bias`	Used to list stuff with consideration to when the item is added

A Sorter is called by the Picker on each item returned by the Finder. It returns a number, which is equivalent to the "distance" between the current prompt and the entry returned by a finder.

Layout (display)

Layout can be configured by choosing a specific layout_strategy and specifying a particular layout_config for that strategy. For more details on available strategies and configuration options, see :help telescope.layout.

Some options for configuring sizes in layouts are "resolvable". This means that they can take different forms, and will be interpreted differently according to which form they take. For example, if we wanted to set the width of a picker using the vertical layout strategy to 50% of the screen width, we would specify that width as 0.5, but if we wanted to specify the width to be exactly 80 characters wide, we would specify it as 80. For more details on resolving sizes, see :help telescope.resolve.

As an example, if we wanted to specify the layout strategy and width, but only for this instance, we could do something like:

:lua require('telescope.builtin').find_files({layout_strategy='vertical',layout_config={width=0.5}})

If we wanted to change the width for every time we use the vertical layout strategy, we could add the following to our setup() call:

require('telescope').setup({
  defaults = {
    layout_config = {
      vertical = { width = 0.5 }
      -- other layout configuration here
    },
    -- other defaults configuration here
  },
  -- other configuration values here
})

Themes

Common groups of settings can be set up to allow for themes. We have some built in themes but are looking for more cool options.

Themes	Description
`themes.get_dropdown`	A list like centered list. dropdown
`themes.get_cursor`	A cursor relative list.
`themes.get_ivy`	Bottom panel overlay. Ivy #771

To use a theme, simply append it to a builtin function:

f :lua require'telescope.builtin'.find_files(require('telescope.themes').get_dropdown({ winblend = 10 }))
">
nnoremap 
    f :lua require'telescope.builtin'.find_files(require('telescope.themes').get_dropdown({}))
    
" Change an option
nnoremap 
    f :lua require'telescope.builtin'.find_files(require('telescope.themes').get_dropdown({ winblend = 10 }))
    

Or use with a command:

Telescope find_files theme=dropdown

Or you can configure it in the pickers table in telescope.setup:

require('telescope').setup{
  defaults = {
    -- ...
  },
  pickers = {
    find_files = {
      theme = "dropdown",
    }
  },
  extensions = {
    -- ...
  }
}

Themes should work with every telescope.builtin function. If you wish to make a theme, check out lua/telescope/themes.lua.

Vim Commands

All telescope.nvim functions are wrapped in vim commands for easy access, tab completions and setting options.

:Telescope find_files " Setting options :Telescope find_files prompt_prefix=🔍 " If the option accepts a Lua table as its value, you can use, to connect each " command string, e.g.: find_command, vimgrep_arguments are both options that " accept a Lua table as a value. So, you can configure them on the command line "like so: :Telescope find_files find_command=rg,--ignore,--hidden,--files prompt_prefix=🔍 ">

" Show all builtin pickers
:Telescope

" Tab completion
:Telescope |
   
:Telescope find_files

" Setting options
:Telescope find_files prompt_prefix=🔍

" If the option accepts a Lua table as its value, you can use, to connect each
" command string, e.g.: find_command, vimgrep_arguments are both options that
" accept a Lua table as a value. So, you can configure them on the command line
"like so:
:Telescope find_files find_command=rg,--ignore,--hidden,--files prompt_prefix=🔍

for more information and how to realize more complex commands please read :help telescope.command.

Autocmds

Telescope user autocmds:

Event	Description
`User TelescopeFindPre`	Do it before Telescope creates all the floating windows
`User TelescopePreviewerLoaded`	Do it after Telescope previewer window is created

Extensions

Telescope provides the capabilities to create & register extensions, which improve telescope in a variety of ways.

Some extensions provide integration with external tools, outside of the scope of builtins. Others provide performance enhancements by using compiled C and interfacing directly with Lua over LuaJIT's FFI library.

A list of community extensions can be found in the Extensions wiki. Always read the README of the extension you want to install, but here is a general overview of how most extensions work.

Loading extensions

To load an extension, use the load_extension function as shown in the example below:

-- This will load fzy_native and have it override the default file sorter
require('telescope').load_extension('fzy_native')

You may skip explicitly loading extensions (they will then be lazy-loaded), but tab completions will not be available right away.

Accessing pickers from extensions

Pickers from extensions are added to the :Telescope command under their respective name. For example:

" Run the `configurations` picker from nvim-dap
:Telescope dap configurations

They can also be called directly from Lua:

-- Run the `configurations` picker from nvim-dap
require('telescope').extensions.dap.configurations()

API

For writing your own picker and for information about the API please read the Developers Documentation.

Changed the results window highlight to always be full width

Thought it was easier to submit this to show the effect working than describe it.
Making the selection movement easier on the eye by staying full width, not sticking to the content width.

The code I've written is a very quick hack, it just adds spaces to the end of a line to pad it out.
This can probably be done in a much nicer way using virtual text which could allow it to happen on the previewer as well.
I've also had to add an extra 2 to the width for the math to work correctly, still looking at why.

I'm looking into what's going on with the = not being highlighted, don't think it's related to this code.

Update display config methods
Plan:

[x] Implement hierarchy of options that affect window size. (requires fuller testing)

[x] Remove width_padding and height_padding option from layout strategies.

[x] Add new option for width and height allowing a table of the form {padding=foo} where foo is one of the other options, and then define width in terms of padding.

[x] Add documentation for the new method of defining dimensions of the picker.

For more details on the general idea, see the discussion in this issue.

feat: add hide / unhide preview
Add new options:

to hide and unhide preview leaving just results and prompt.

~~to hide and unhide results and prompt leaving just preview window active. Active preview buffer inherits autocmd for BufLeave and config mappings from prompt which makes it possible to also cycle through previews.~~ This feature will be introduced in another PR

Example key mapping:

require("telescope").setup({ defaults = { mappings = { n = { ["<C-h>"] = actions.toggle_preview, ["<C-j>"] = actions.toggle_results_and_prompt, }, i = { ["<C-h>"] = actions.toggle_preview, ["<C-j>"] = actions.toggle_results_and_prompt, }, } } })

This still require little tweaks for example I am not really sure how should I keep selection ( or if it is currently possible ) for specific entry when hiding preview in vertical layout because the size of results window changes and picker refresh also change the order of results.

feat: delete entry from the picker without closing telescope

This will allow users to delete entries from the picker without closing telescope.

Discussion ref: https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim/pull/803#pullrequestreview-654985978 fixes: #689 fixes: #621 fixes: #672

This function in and of itself will just remove the entry, what I'm proposing next is: Idea: Should we provide a callback parameter which will be called with the removed entry, so that the user or the specific picker can do exactly what needs to be done outside of telescope? Eg., delete the buffer, delete the file, etc.

The selection strategy is temporarily set to "row" as that will help keep the selection in the same position instead of resetting to the top. If there is any other way to achieve this, do suggest :)

Thanks @Conni2461 for helping!

Improve oldfiles finder
This adds options to the oldfiles finder to make it optionally more useful as a MRU (most recently used) finder.

include_current_session

Normally v:oldfiles only lists files from past vim sessions. This option will include recently accessed files in the current vim session using :buffers! t (the ! bang shows unlisted buffers after they are closed, and the t modifier sorts the list by MRU).

cwd_only

This option filters the results to only show files within the cwd. This makes for a nice project-specific-MRU finder.

At the moment both options don't change default oldfiles finder behaviour, as they are both opt-in. I might argue making include_current_session=true a default, having to restart vim to see new entries populated into v:oldfiles is kind of weird. Either way though, it'd just be nice to have the option!

PS. I know there was an issue/discussion at #433 around MRU pickers that was closed because of the (very cool) frecency extension, but I'd argue that MRU and frecency are different things:

Frecency = Frequency + Recency

MRU = Recency only

Fzy improvement: smart-case

I was reading your port of fzy and one easy improvement over the original fzy that I always do (yes I've ported it multiple times) is to avoid converting the string to lowercase if the needle contains an uppercase character. It improves the results a lot when the user knows there is an uppercase character in there.

Changes

New structure:

Overview

Dependencies (dependencies sounds better then requirements :D < opinionated)

Quick Start (to test telescope)

Configuration (contains a quick overview of configuration options and mappings)

FAQ (How to questions with answers)

API (oh boy needs review, and where most of todos is located. @tjdevries help :D)

Media (moved all links and videos here)

Recipes (some recipes I thought will be make it easier to configure telescope)

Strip previews, I feel telescope preview and screenshot should be located in gallery. It might be good to include a signle preview in the introduction, but I feel it may constrian the expectations of new users, "This what I expect telescope offer", where as having previews only in gallery, "Oh telescope can be configured to look in different ways". :D < opinionated

Add faq section, any question answered in issues should be written here. (future pr I guess.) Add some questions I previously had, but more is needed to be added here.

Add configuration recipes based on how I configure telescope, @tjdevries please consider having the second recipe a builtin function. (perhaps with introducing an additional parameter for the dict)

Shortcut to save the current item to register without edit the file.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Sometimes we need save the telescope to find a target file but wont edit it immediately. Just save the result to register or variable in lua. And we can use the target file name later.

Describe the solution you'd like Provide a function which can return the target file name string or save the target file name in register.

Describe alternatives you've considered None

Additional context None

Search inside monorepo

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I work with a monorepo and when inside a file, I can't search for/in files in other projects in the monorepo.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like for telescope to work across the projects inside the monorepo. Maybe recursively find parent folders with .git folder or a .editorconfig with root = true

Describe alternatives you've considered

Question: Grep matching newlines?
I was trying to live-grep something like this:

first second

I.e. / + first\nsecond in vim.

Is this achievable with telescope pickers? One thing I tried was passing --multiline to rg but to no avail.

Question: how to cycle (wrap) prompt history?
I noticed that cycling the prompt history doesn't wrap around — picking the wrong (presumably next) direction prevents any history from showing up. I'm very used to the wrapping behavior from terminals and telescope behaves that way in the Results pane. Is there a way to achieve that currently?

telescope.setup({ defaults = { mappings = { i = { ["<C-n>"] = actions.cycle_history_next, ["<C-p>"] = actions.cycle_history_prev, } } }

Gitter chat seems dead

The GitHub Issue → Question template leads to the Gitter chat, which is also mentioned in the project README. Going there I mostly see unanswered questions. I'm wondering if there's a better solution than users sending their questions into the void, while not burdening developers too much.

Telescope Setup -- find_command

Description

The below works from both the command line and keybindings, but does not seem to work when placing within the telescope.setup({pickers block

Works:

:Telescope find_files find_command=rg,--ignore,--hidden,--files,-u,--glob,!**/.git/*,--glob,!**/node_modules/*

vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>ff', ":Telescope find_files find_command=rg,--ignore,--hidden,--files,-u,--glob,!**/.git/*,--glob,!**/node_modules/*,--glob,!**/.next/*<CR>")

Not working

    pickers = {
      find_files = {
        find_command = {"rg", "--files", "--hidden", "--ignore", "-u", "--glob=!**/.git/*", "--glob=!**/node_modules/*"},    
      }
    },

Steps to reproduce

Keybindings reverted back to below via docs:

vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>ff', builtin.find_files, {})

add to setup

    pickers = {
      find_files = {
        find_command = {"rg", "--files", "--hidden", "--ignore", "-u", "--glob=!**/.git/*", "--glob=!**/node_modules/*"},    
      }
    },

open a project in nvim
ff
Search for hidden file or ignored file.

Expected behavior

Hidden and Ignored files are found. Example:

ff
search .env.loc
see .env.local file

Actual behavior

With setup > long string keybind

ff
search .env.loc
no files found

Minimal config

vim.cmd [[set runtimepath=$VIMRUNTIME]]
vim.cmd [[set packpath=/tmp/nvim/site]]
local package_root = '/tmp/nvim/site/pack'
local install_path = package_root .. '/packer/start/packer.nvim'

Releases(0.1.0)

0.1.0(Jul 12, 2022)
telescope.nvim 0.1.0

Today we are finally releasing telescope 0.1.0, our first stable release, it only took us 2 years, almost 250 contributors and over 2000 issues and PRs.

With this release we also introduce a new release branch 0.1.x which will get constant fixes, performances improvements and new features without breaking backwards compatibility, so we kindly ask you to switch to either the fixed 0.1.0 tag or this release branch. This allows us to treat the main branch as an actual development branch where we can introduce breaking changes more easily.

Telescope 0.1.0 is compatible with neovim 0.7.0 and newer and we will not raise the minimum required version for the lifecycle of the 0.1.x branch.

Features

Telescope is a fuzzy finder written in lua that provides a simple interface that allows everyone to write their own fuzzy pickers.

Wide range of builtin functionallity (files, git, lsp, vim internals)

Flexible UI

Different themes (dropdown, cursor, ivy)

Write your own theme

Previewers using treesitter

Can be toggled

Have multiple previewers and cycle though them

Resume previous searches

History to cycle through previous search inputs

Replaceable backend interfaces

Allows you to swap out backend functionality for our own implementations Example: sorters and github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim

Future Outlook

After this release, we spoke about redesigning the fuzzy engine and move it to a compiled language like rust to improve performance. The core engine part can then be used in "frontend clients" like a neovim plugin or even a cli tool.

Thanks

Thanks to everyone who was part in shaping telescope and this release by opening PRs and Issues. With 244 contributors, I can't mention everyone. Special thanks go to:

@tjdevries for starting this plugin and bringing everyone together

@fdschmidt93 for maintaining this project with me and help with this release

@oberblastmeister for bringing async await to lua and neovim

@l-kershaw for his work on layouts

@kkharji (previously tami5) as initial project manager

@clason for his invaluable feedback and tireless answering of questions
