After opening an entry from a picker, I often do :Telescope resume and select the next/prev entry and open it. For example,
:Telescope find_files- open the file:
/path/to/cwd/foo-01.txt
:Telescope resume- open the next file:
/path/to/cwd/foo-02.txt
It is annoying that I need three key presses for this: (1) mapping for :Telescope resume, (2) <C-n>, (3) <CR>. I want to do this with one mapping.
Describe the solution you'd like
I've written a function to do this, but this is too ugly to contribute into telescope.nvim. Can anyone write more simply?
resume_snd_select()
local function get_picker(prompt_bufnr)
local action_state = require "telescope.actions.state"
local actions = require "telescope.actions"
local picker = action_state.get_current_picker(prompt_bufnr)
if not picker then
vim.notify("found no picker", vim.log.levels.WARN)
return
elseif picker.manager:num_results() <= 1 then
vim.notify("picker has no entry to open", vim.log.levels.WARN)
actions.close(prompt_bufnr)
if picker.initial_mode == "insert" then
vim.api.nvim_feedkeys([[<C-\><C-n>]], "i", true)
end
return
end
return picker
end
---@async
local function select_and_open(picker, change)
local actions = require "telescope.actions"
local async = require "plenary.async"
local start = vim.uv.hrtime()
while true do
local displayed = picker.stats.displayed
if displayed and displayed > 0 then
picker:move_selection(change)
actions.select_default(picker.prompt_bufnr)
return
elseif vim.uv.hrtime() - start > 2 * 1e9 then
vim.notify("cannot get results from picker", vim.log.levels.WARN)
actions.close(picker.prompt_bufnr)
return
end
async.util.sleep(10)
end
end
local function resume_and_select(change)
return function()
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("FileType", {
group = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("resume_and_select", {}),
pattern = "TelescopePrompt",
once = true,
callback = function(args)
local picker = get_picker(args.buf)
if picker then
require("plenary.async").void(select_and_open)(picker, change)
end
end,
})
require("telescope.builtin").resume {}
end
endWith this function, I can achieve this feature with example mappings below.
vim.keymap.set(
"n",
"<Leader>fj",
resume_and_select(1),
{ desc = "Resume Telescope picker and open the next candidate" }
)
vim.keymap.set(
"n",
"<Leader>fk",
resume_and_select(-1),
{ desc = "Resume Telescope picker and open the previous candidate" }
)Describe alternatives you've considered
telescope.nvim has a similar feature: <C-q> (actions.send_to_qflist). But this only works with file-like entries. For pickers that provides non-file-like entries, such as :Telescope help_tags, send_to_qflist does not work, but resume_and_select() works good.
