# cder.nvim
A [telescope.nvim](https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim) extension for quickly changing your working directory.
## Dependencies
- [telescope.nvim](https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim)
- By default, the extension uses [fd](https://github.com/sharkdp/fd) to list directories and [bat](https://github.com/sharkdp/bat) to provide paging. You don't have to use these if you don't want to, but the default config will not work if you do not install them.
- Additionally, `bash` is used to pipe the output of `fd` into `bat`, so if `bash` is not installed, the `command_executor` option will need to be changed.
## Setup
Install using your favorite plugin manager:
[packer.nvim](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim):
```lua
use 'zane-/cder.nvim'
```
Load the extension into telescope:
```lua
require('telescope').load_extension('cder')
```
Default config:
```lua
-- The title of the prompt.
prompt_title = function()
return 'cwd: ' .. vim.fn.getcwd()
end,
-- The command used to generate a list of directories.
-- Defaults to fd on the home directory.
-- Example for showing hidden directories:
-- dir_command = { 'fd', '--hidden', '--type=d', '.', os.getenv('HOME') },
-- Example for excluding certain directories:
-- dir_command = { 'fd', '--exclude=Library', '--exclude=Pictures', '--type=d', '.', os.getenv('HOME') },
dir_command = { 'fd', '--type=d', '.', os.getenv('HOME') },
-- The binary used to execute previewer_command | pager_command.
-- This is needed because termopen in Neovim does not support piping
-- multiple commands, so we get around this by just using bash -c.
command_executer = { 'bash', '-c' },
-- The command used to preview directories. Defaults to ls.
-- Example:
-- previewer_command = 'exa -a --icons'
previewer_command = 'ls -a',
-- A function to return an entry given an entry produced
-- by dir_command. Returns the entry directly by default.
entry_value_fn = function(entry_value)
return '"' .. entry_value .. '"'
end,
-- The command used to page directory previews. Defaults to bat.
-- Receives the output of the previewer_command as input.
-- Example without bat:
-- pager_command = 'less -RS'
pager_command = 'bat --plain --paging=always --pager="less -RS"',
-- Function to create an entry in the picker given
-- a line outputted from the dir_command.
-- value is used as the directory in the :cd command
-- display is what is actually displayed, so this can
-- be a function that trims a path prefix for example.
entry_maker = function(line)
return {
value = line,
display = function(entry)
return ' ' .. line:gsub(os.getenv('HOME') .. '/', ''), { { { 1, 3 }, 'Directory' } }
end,
ordinal = line,
}
end,
-- A mapping should be a function that takes as parameter the selected
-- directory as a string.
mappings = {
default = function(directory)
vim.cmd.cd(directory)
end,
[''] = function(directory)
vim.cmd.tcd(directory)
end,
},
```
To change these, use telescope's `setup` function. Below is the config used in the demo gif above:
```lua
require('telescope').setup({
extensions = {
cder = {
previewer_command =
'exa '..
'-a '..
'--color=always '..
'-T '..
'--level=3 '..
'--icons '..
'--git-ignore '..
'--long '..
'--no-permissions '..
'--no-user '..
'--no-filesize '..
'--git '..
'--ignore-glob=.git',
},
},
})
```
## Usage
- Open the extension with `:Telescope cder`
- Search for a directory name, pressing enter on the selection will change Neovim's working directory
### Mappings
| Mapping | Action |
| ---------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| `Ctrl + d` | Scroll the preview down |
| `Ctrl + u` | Scroll the preview up |
| `Enter` | Change directory |
| `Ctrl + t` | Change directory for the current tab page |
