Requirements

Setup

You can setup the extension by adding the following to your config:

require'telescope'.load_extension('project')

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

Available functions:

Project

The projects picker:

require'telescope'.extensions.project.project{}

Default mappings (normal mode):

Key Description
d delete currently selected project
r rename currently selected project
c create a project*
s search inside files within your project
b browse inside files within your project
w change to the selected project's directory without opening it
R find a recently opened file within your project
f find a file within your project (same as <CR>)

Default mappings (insert mode):

Key Description
<c-d> delete currently selected project
<c-v> rename currently selected project
<c-a> create a project*
<c-s> search inside files within your project
<c-b> browse inside files within your project
<c-l> change to the selected project's directory without opening it
<c-r> find a recently opened file within your project
<c-f> find a file within your project (same as <CR>)

* defaults to your git root if used inside a git project, otherwise, it will use your current working directory

Workspace mappings (insert mode):

Key Description
<c-w> change workspace

Example key map config:

vim.api.nvim_set_keymap(
        'n',
        '<C-p>',
        ":lua require'telescope'.extensions.project.project{}<CR>",
        {noremap = true, silent = true}
)
