Environment:

  • NNN: v4.8
  • Nvim: v0.9.1
  • nnn.nvim commit: 4616ec6

By default my nnn.nvim config for :NnnPicker specifies that hidden files should be shown:

require('nnn').setup({
    picker = {
        style = {
            border = 'rounded'
        },
        -- -a: auto-setup temporary NNN_FIFO
        -- -d: detail mode
        -- -H: show hidden files
        -- -P: specify plugin key to run
        cmd = 'tmux new-session nnn -a -d -H -P=preview-tui',
        session = 'shared',
        fullscreen = false,
    },
})

However, the preview window does not show hidden files or directories here's an example directory:

~/.dotfiles/nvm
├── .nvm
│   └── default-packages
└── .test.txt

2 directories, 2 files
  1. Preview of parent (~/.dotfiles):

  1. Navigating inside ~/.dotfiles/nvm shows hidden files in the NNN window

This is not an issue with nnn.nvim. What is shown in the preview pane is determined by the directory preview program used in preview-tui. In your case it looks like that is tree. You could opt to add the -a flag to the tree command used by preview-tui.

I also seem to remember nnn adding a NNN_INCLUDE_HIDDEN envvar at some point. I think the point was to keep it in sync with nnn's hidden file toggle. Perhaps support for that could be added to preview-tui.
