# Installation



#### This plugin utilizes `vim.ui.select()`, so you're gonna need something like [dressing.nvim](https://github.com/stevearc/dressing.nvim) and a fuzzy finder like [Telescope](https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim) or [fzf-lua](https://github.com/ibhagwan/fzf-lua)



For Lazy



```lua

{

    "ziontee113/icon-picker.nvim",

    config = function()

        require("icon-picker").setup({ disable_legacy_commands = true })



        local opts = { noremap = true, silent = true }



        vim.keymap.set("n", "i", "IconPickerNormal", opts)

        vim.keymap.set("n", "y", "IconPickerYank", opts) --> Yank the selected icon into register

        vim.keymap.set("i", "", "IconPickerInsert", opts)

    end

}

```



For Packer



```lua

use "stevearc/dressing.nvim"

use({

  "ziontee113/icon-picker.nvim",

  config = function()

    require("icon-picker").setup({

      disable_legacy_commands = true

    })

  end,

})

```



For Vim Plug



```

Plug 'stevearc/dressing.nvim'

Plug 'ziontee113/icon-picker.nvim'



lua << EOF

require("icon-picker").setup({ disable_legacy_commands = true })

EOF

```



# Usage



### Sample Config (new):



```lua

local opts = { noremap = true, silent = true }



vim.keymap.set("n", "i", "IconPickerNormal", opts)

vim.keymap.set("n", "y", "IconPickerYank", opts) --> Yank the selected icon into register

vim.keymap.set("i", "", "IconPickerInsert", opts)

```



#### Available Commands:



- `IconPickerNormal` - Pick Icon and insert it to the buffer (normal mode)

- `IconPickerInsert` - Pick Icon and insert it to the buffer (insert mode)

- `IconPickerYank` - Pick Icon and yank it to register (will not input to buffer)



You can cherry pick the Icon source to your preference using arguments, for example:



```

:IconPickerInsert alt_font symbols

:IconPickerInsert nerd_font emoji

:IconPickerInsert nerd_font

:IconPickerInsert emoji nerd_font alt_font symbols

```



Available arguments for the `IconPicker` commands:



- alt_font

- emoji

- html_colors

- nerd_font

- nerd_font_v3 (if you're using Nerd Fonts version 3 and above)

- symbols



I personally use `` for `IconPickerInsert`. If you also want to map `` and can't do it, you can check out my quick guide to solve that on YouTube: [Enable Special Keyboard Combinations in Alacritty / Kitty for Neovim](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHBD6pdJ-Ng)



#### Sample Config (legacy):



```lua

local opts = { noremap = true, silent = true }



vim.keymap.set("n", "i", "PickEverything", opts)

vim.keymap.set("n", "y", "PickEverythingYank", opts)

vim.keymap.set("i", "", "PickEverythingInsert", opts)

```



#### Available Commands:



- Normal Mode:

  - `PickEmoji`

  - `PickNerd`
