Making telescope.nvim find_files show hidden files by default - Following ThePrimeagen's guide
Hey guys, I'm following the tutorial above, and in his video he doesn't do anything specific to show hidden files, but it works for him. My .config/nvim/after/plugin/telescope.lua file looks like this: I've looked up solutions but they all use a different syntax, and none work for me. Any idea how I can make the find_files command also show hidden files by using this syntax? Thanks!
If you have
fdinstalled, telescope uses it's settings including ignore files (including.ignoreand.gitignoreetc). So if have the default settings forfdto show hidden files, telescope will respect that.Otherwise, if you want to have hidden files only in telescope without changing the default behavior of
fd, when using your key binding, change it as follows:vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>ff", function() builtin.find_files({hidden=true}) end, {})Edit: Change to keybind format Edit2: Wrap builtin in function call
Hey, I only just had the time to try this out. I edited it as you suggested, but I still get an error when I
:soafter writing the file. Also, I don't have anyfdcommand, and I'm not aware of anything extra that I added to nvim calledfd.You will need to wrap the third argument to keymap.set in a function, like so:
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>ff", function() builtin.find_files({hidden=true}) end, {})
