fzf ❤️ lua

Installation • Usage • Commands • Customization • Wiki

fzf changed my command life, it can change yours too, if you allow it.

Rationale

What more can be said about fzf? It is the single most impactful tool for my command line workflow, once I started using fzf I couldn’t see myself living without it.

To understand fzf properly I highly recommended fzf screencast by @samoshkin

This is my take on the original fzf.vim, written in lua for neovim 0.5, it builds on the elegant nvim-fzf as an async interface to create a performant and lightweight fzf client for neovim that rivals any of the new shiny fuzzy finders for neovim.

Why Fzf-Lua

... and not telescope or any other vim/neovim household name?

As @junegunn himself put it, “because you can and you love fzf”.

If you’re happy with your current setup there is absolutely no reason to switch.

That said, without taking anything away from the greatness of other plugins I found it more efficient having a uniform experience between my shell and my nvim. In addition fzf has been a rock for me since I started using it and hadn’t failed me once, it never hangs and can handle almost anything you throw at it. That, and colorful file icons and git indicators!.

Dependencies

Linux or MacOS
neovim version > 0.5.0
fzf version > 0.27 (see note below) or skim binary installed
nvim-web-devicons (optional)

fzf version > 0.27 is recommended but it's still possible to use fzf version > 0.25 by setting fzf_opts = { ['--border'] = false }, see Customization.

Optional dependencies

fd - better find utility
rg - better grep utility
bat - syntax highlighted previews when using fzf's native previewer
delta - syntax highlighted git pager for git status previews
viu - terminal image previews (needs to be configured via previewer.builtin.extensions)
ueberzug - X11 image previews (needs to be configured via previewer.builtin.extensions)
nvim-dap - for Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP) support

Installation

Using vim-plug

Plug 'ibhagwan/fzf-lua', {'branch': 'main'}
" optional for icon support
Plug 'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons'

Using packer.nvim

use { 'ibhagwan/fzf-lua',
  -- optional for icon support
  requires = { 'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons' }
}

Note: if you already have fzf installed you do not need to install fzf or fzf.vim, however if you do not have it installed, you only need fzf which can be installed with (fzf.vim is not a requirement nor conflict):
Plug 'junegunn/fzf', { 'do': { -> fzf#install() } }
or with packer.nvim:
use = { 'junegunn/fzf', run = './install --bin', }

Usage

Fzf-lua aims to be as plug and play as possible with sane defaults, you can run any fzf-lua command like this:

:lua require('fzf-lua').files()
-- or using the `FzfLua` vim command:
:FzfLua files

or with arguments:

:lua require('fzf-lua').files({ cwd = '~/.config' })
-- or using the `FzfLua` vim command:
:FzfLua files cwd=~/.config

which can be easily mapped to:

nnoremap <c-P> <cmd>lua require('fzf-lua').files()<CR>

or if using init.lua:

vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('n', '<c-P>',
    "<cmd>lua require('fzf-lua').files()<CR>",
    { noremap = true, silent = true })

Customization

ADVANCED CUSTOMIZATION : to create your own fzf-lua commands see Wiki/ADVANCED

Customization can be achieved by calling the setup() function (optional) or individually sending parameters to a builtin command, A few examples below:

Different fzf layout:

:lua require('fzf-lua').files({ fzf_opts = {['--layout'] = 'reverse-list'} })

Using files with a different command and working directory:

:lua require'fzf-lua'.files({ prompt="LS> ", cmd = "ls", cwd="~/<folder>" })

Using live_grep with git grep:

:lua require'fzf-lua'.live_grep({ cmd = "git grep --line-number --column --color=always" })

colorschemes with non-default window size:

:lua require'fzf-lua'.colorschemes({ winopts = { height=0.33, width=0.33 } })

Use setup() If you wish for a setting to persist and not have to send it using the call arguments, e.g:

require('fzf-lua').setup{
  winopts = {
    ...
  }
}

Can also be called from a .vim file:

lua << EOF
require('fzf-lua').setup{
  ...
}
EOF

Default Options

Customizing Highlights

FzfLua conviniently creates the below highlights:

  -- key is the highlight group name
  -- value[1] is the setup/call arg option name
  -- value[2] is the default link if value[1] is undefined
  FzfLuaNormal = { 'winopts.hl.normal', "Normal" },
  FzfLuaBorder = { 'winopts.hl.border', "Normal" },
  FzfLuaCursor = { 'winopts.hl.cursor', "Cursor" },
  FzfLuaCursorLine = { 'winopts.hl.cursorline', "CursorLine" },
  FzfLuaCursorLineNr = { 'winopts.hl.cursornr', "CursorLineNr" },
  FzfLuaSearch = { 'winopts.hl.search', "IncSearch" },
  FzfLuaTitle = { 'winopts.hl.title', "FzfLuaNormal" },
  FzfLuaScrollBorderEmpty = { 'winopts.hl.scrollborder_e', "FzfLuaBorder" },
  FzfLuaScrollBorderFull  = { 'winopts.hl.scrollborder_f', "FzfLuaBorder" },
  FzfLuaScrollFloatEmpty  = { 'winopts.hl.scrollfloat_e', "PmenuSbar" },
  FzfLuaScrollFloatFull   = { 'winopts.hl.scrollfloat_f', "PmenuThumb" },
  FzfLuaHelpNormal = { 'winopts.hl.help_normal', "FzfLuaNormal" },
  FzfLuaHelpBorder = { 'winopts.hl.help_border', "FzfLuaBorder" },

These can be easily customized either via the lua API:

:lua vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "FzfLuaBorder", { link = "FloatBorder" })

Or vimscript:

:hi! link FzfLuaBorder FloatBorder

If you wish to further customize these highlights without having to modify your preset colorscheme highlight links you can define the corresponding winopts.hl option or even send it directly via a call argument:

:lua require'fzf-lua'.files({ winopts={hl={normal="IncSearch"}} })

Or via setup:

require('fzf-lua').setup{
  winopts = {
    hl = { border = "FloatBorder", }
  }
}

Credits

Big thank you to all those I borrowed code/ideas from, I read so many configs and plugin codes that I probably forgot where I found some samples from so if I missed your name feel free to contact me and I'll add it below:

@vijaymarupudi for his wonderful nvim-fzf plugin which is at the core of this plugin
@tjdevries for too many great things to list here and for borrowing some of his nvim-telescope provider code
@lukas-reineke for inspiring the solution after browsing his dotfiles and coming across his fuzzy.lua , and while we're, also here for his great lua plugin indent-blankline
@sindrets for borrowing utilities from his fantastic lua plugin diffview.nvim
@kevinhwang91 for using his previewer code as baseline for the builtin previewer and his must have plugin nvim-bqf
