Telescope Zoxide

An extension for telescope.nvim that allows you operate zoxide within Neovim.

Requirements

zoxide is required to use this plugin.

Installation

Plug 'nvim-lua/popup.nvim'
Plug 'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'
Plug 'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim'
Plug 'jvgrootveld/telescope-zoxide'

Configuration

You can add, extend and update Telescope Zoxide config by using Telescope's default configuration mechanism for extensions. An example config:

-- Useful for easily creating commands
local z_utils = require("telescope._extensions.zoxide.utils")

require('telescope').setup{
  -- (other Telescope configuration...)
  extensions = {
    zoxide = {
      prompt_title = "[ Walking on the shoulders of TJ ]",
      mappings = {
        default = {
          after_action = function(selection)
            print("Update to (" .. selection.z_score .. ") " .. selection.path)
          end
        },
        ["<C-s>"] = {
          before_action = function(selection) print("before C-s") end,
          action = function(selection)
            vim.cmd.edit(selection.path)
          end
        },
        -- Opens the selected entry in a new split
        ["<C-q>"] = { action = z_utils.create_basic_command("split") },
      },
    }
  }
}

You can add new mappings and extend default mappings. (Note: The mapping with the key 'default' is the mapping invoked on pressing <cr>). Every keymapping must have an action function and supports the optional functions before_action and after_action.

Tip: If the action is a telescope picker, you should also set keepinsert = true to open it in insert mode. Else you can't directly type into the next telescope picker.

All action functions are called with the current selection object as parameter which contains the selected path and Zoxide score.

Tip: Make use of the supplied z_utils.create_basic_command helper function to easily invoke a vim command for the selected path.

Loading the extension

You can then load the extension by adding the following after your call to telescope's own setup() function:

require("telescope").load_extension('zoxide')

Loading the extension will allow you to use the following functionality:

List

With Telescope command:

:Telescope zoxide list

In Lua:

require("telescope").extensions.zoxide.list({picker_opts})

You can also bind the function to a key:

vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>cd", require("telescope").extensions.zoxide.list)

Full example

local t = require("telescope")
local z_utils = require("telescope._extensions.zoxide.utils")

-- Configure the extension
t.setup({
  extensions = {
    zoxide = {
      prompt_title = "[ Walking on the shoulders of TJ ]",
      mappings = {
        default = {
          after_action = function(selection)
            print("Update to (" .. selection.z_score .. ") " .. selection.path)
          end
        },
        ["<C-s>"] = {
          before_action = function(selection) print("before C-s") end,
          action = function(selection)
            vim.cmd.edit(selection.path)
          end
        },
        ["<C-q>"] = { action = z_utils.create_basic_command("split") },
      },
    },
  },
})

-- Load the extension
t.load_extension('zoxide')

-- Add a mapping
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>cd", t.extensions.zoxide.list)

Default config

{
  prompt_title = "[ Zoxide List ]",

  -- Zoxide list command with score
  list_command = "zoxide query -ls",
  mappings = {
    default = {
      action = function(selection)
        vim.cmd.cd(selection.path)
      end,
      after_action = function(selection)
        vim.notify("Directory changed to " .. selection.path)
      end,
    },
    ["<C-s>"] = { action = z_utils.create_basic_command("split") },
    ["<C-v>"] = { action = z_utils.create_basic_command("vsplit") },
    ["<C-e>"] = { action = z_utils.create_basic_command("edit") },
    ["<C-f>"] = {
      keepinsert = true,
      action = function(selection)
        builtin.find_files({ cwd = selection.path })
      end,
    },
    ["<C-t>"] = {
      action = function(selection)
        vim.cmd.tcd(selection.path)
      end,
    },
  }
}

Default mappings

Action	Description	Command executed
`<CR>`	Change current directory to selection	`cd <path>`
`<C-t>`	Change current tab's directory to selection	`tcd <path>`
`<C-s>`	Open selection in a split	`split <path>`
`<C-v>`	Open selection in a vertical split	`vsplit <path>`
`<C-e>`	Open selection in current window	`edit <path>`
`<C-f>`	Open selection in telescope's `builtin.find_files`	`builtin.find_files({ cwd = selection.path })`

Extensions

Open Selection in Telescope File Browser

This action requires installing the Telescope file browser extension. You can register this mapping by adding the following to your config:

{
  mappings = {
    ["<C-b>"] = {
      keepinsert = true,
      action = function(selection)
        require("telescope").extensions.file_browser.file_browser({ cwd = selection.path })
      end
    },
  }
}
