*telescope.nvim*
Telescope.nvim is a plugin for fuzzy finding and neovim. It helps you search,
filter, find and pick things in Lua.
To find out more:
https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim
:h telescope.setup
:h telescope.builtin
:h telescope.layout
:h telescope.actions
telescope.extensions() *telescope.extensions()*
Use telescope.extensions to reference any extensions within your
configuration.
While the docs currently generate this as a function, it's actually a table.
Sorry.
telescope.load_extension({name}) *telescope.load_extension()*
Load an extension.
Parameters: ~
{name} (string) Name of the extension
telescope.register_extension({mod}) *telescope.register_extension()*
Register an extension. To be used by plugin authors.
Parameters: ~
{mod} (table) Module
telescope.setup({opts}) *telescope.setup()*
Setup function to be run by user. Configures the defaults, extensions
and other aspects of telescope.
Valid keys for {opts.defaults}
*telescope.defaults.entry_prefix*
entry_prefix: ~
Prefix in front of each result entry. Current selection not included.
Default: ' '
*telescope.defaults.prompt_prefix*
prompt_prefix: ~
Will be shown in front of the prompt.
Default: '> '
*telescope.defaults.scroll_strategy*
scroll_strategy: ~
Determines what happens you try to scroll past view of the picker.
Available options are:
- "cycle" (default)
- "limit"
*telescope.defaults.selection_caret*
selection_caret: ~
Will be shown in front of the selection.
Default: '> '
*telescope.defaults.selection_strategy*
selection_strategy: ~
Determines how the cursor acts after each sort iteration.
Available options are:
- "reset" (default)
- "follow"

- "ascending"
Parameters: ~
{opts} (table) Configuration opts. Keys: defaults, extensions
================================================================================
*telescope.builtin*
A collection of builtin pickers for telesceope.
Meant for both example and for easy startup.
Any of these functions can just be called directly by doing:
:lua require('telescope.builtin').$NAME()
This will use the default configuration options.
Other configuration options are still in flux at the moment
builtin.live_grep() *builtin.live_grep()*
Live grep means grep as you type.

Actions functions that are useful for people creating their own mappings.
actions.add_selection({prompt_bufnr}) *actions.add_selection()*
Add current entry to multi select
Parameters: ~
{prompt_bufnr} (number) The prompt bufnr
actions.move_selection_better({prompt_bufnr})*actions.move_selection_better()*
Move the selection to the entry that has a better score
Parameters: ~
{prompt_bufnr} (number) The prompt bufnr
actions.move_selection_next({prompt_bufnr}) *actions.move_selection_next()*
Move the selection to the next entry
Parameters: ~
{prompt_bufnr} (number) The prompt bufnr
actions.move_selection_previous({prompt_bufnr})*actions.move_selection_previous()*

actions.move_to_middle({prompt_bufnr}) *actions.move_to_middle()*
Move to the middle of the picker
Parameters: ~
{prompt_bufnr} (number) The prompt bufnr
actions.move_to_top({prompt_bufnr}) *actions.move_to_top()*

*telescope.layout*
Layout strategies are different functions to position telescope.
All layout strategies are functions with the following signature: >
function(picker, columns, lines)
-- Do some calculations here...
return {
preview = preview_configuration
results = results_configuration,
prompt = prompt_configuration,
}
end
<
Parameters: ~
- picker : A Picker object. (docs coming soon)
- columns : number Columns in the vim window
- lines : number Lines in the vim window
TODO: I would like to make these link to `telescope.layout_strategies.*`,
but it's not yet possible.
Available layout strategies include:
horizontal:
- See |layout_strategies.horizontal|
vertical:
- See |layout_strategies.vertical|
flex:
- See |layout_strategies.flex|
Available tweaks to the settings in layout defaults include
(can be applied to horizontal and vertical layouts):
mirror (default is `false`):
- Flip the view of the current layout:
- If using horizontal: if `true`, swaps the location of the
results/prompt window and preview window
- If using vertical: if `true`, swaps the location of the results and
prompt windows
width_padding:
- How many cells to pad the width of Telescope's layout window
height_padding:
- How many cells to pad the height of Telescope's layout window
preview_width:
- Change the width of Telescope's preview window
layout_strategies.center() *layout_strategies.center()*
Centered layout wih smaller default sizes (I think)

layout_strategies.flex() *layout_strategies.flex()*

width
- Supports `vertical` or `horizontal` features
Uses:
flip_columns
