Fuzzy Slash

Use fuzzy search in the current buffer in the same way as you would /?, no need for telescope or some gui. Uses the commnd-preview feature.

Install it (lazy.nvim):

{
  "IndianBoy42/fuzzy_slash.nvim",
  dependencies = {
    { "IndianBoy42/fuzzy.nvim", dependencies = { { "nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim", build = "make" } } },
  },
  -- Configure and lazy load as you want
}

See fuzzy.nvim's README.md to make sure you get fzf/fzy installed correctly. NOTE: for now I am using a fork of fuzzy.nvim with some minor additional functionality, I hope to have it upstreamed in one form or another soon.

Try it:

:Fz <search> " Updates live (if inccommand is set)
:FzNext
:FzPrev

Bind it:

vim.keymap.set("n", ":Fz ") -- Don't use <cmd> you need to type here

Not much configuration for not much functionality. Only need to pass the keys you want to change.

    hl_group = "Search",
    cursor_hl = "CurSearch",

        -- called after a fuzzy search with a tuple of functions that are effectively n, N

    -- You can add any other data it will be passed through, just dont use (score, index, positions)
    generator = nil,
    -- Match sorter: fn(a, b) -> a < b
    -- Matches are targets augmented with fzf data: {text, row, col, endcol, score=score, index=index, positions=positions}
    -- score and positions are from fuzzy_nvim (fzf, fzy), index is the index in the original target list

API

PRELIMINARY: Make your own commands with custom target generators and sorters, please tell me what interesting things you make, or what you want to make

-- Any options/keys in the opts table here will override the defaults for this custom command
-- Thus you can customize any aspect of the behaviour, especially target generation
vim.api.nvimcreateusercommand("MyFz", M.makecommand(opts))

TODOs

• [x] Do the search
• [ ] Multi window?
• [ ] Notify when there is only one word matched
• [ ] Quickfix/loclist integration
• [ ] Bugginess in next/prev? (maybe customizable sorting)
• [ ] Treesitter and LSP?
