nerdy.nvim in action

Do you like [Nerd fonts](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts)? but don't like going over to [their site](https://www.nerdfonts.com/cheat-sheet) to fetch a glyph for your pretty terminal?
Well, me too!

Introducing nerdy.nvim, a super handy plugin that lets you search, preview and insert all nerd font glyphs straight from neovim!

## ✨ Features

- Fuzzy search nerd glyphs
- Preview glyphs before inserting
- Super lightweight
- Can auto generate new icons from source

## Setup

### ⚡ Requirements

- You have installed the latest version of `neovim`

These two plugins are optional but highly recommended for a smoother user experience.

- [dressing.nvim](https://github.com/stevearc/dressing.nvim) — for prettier select UI
- [telescope](https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim) — for fuzzy searching in list

### 🚀 Installation

```lua
-- Lazy
{
'2kabhishek/nerdy.nvim',
dependencies = {
'stevearc/dressing.nvim',
'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim',
},
cmd = 'Nerdy',
},

-- Packer
use '2kabhishek/nerdy.nvim'

```

### 💻 Usage

`nerdy.nvim` adds a new command `Nerdy`.

You can add your custom bindings for the command, the recommended keybinding is `f,`.

check `:help nerdy` for more details.

> NOTE: By default there are no configured keybindings.

#### 🔭 Telescope Extension

Nerdy also comes with a Telescope extension, to use it add the following to your telescope configs.

```lua
require('telescope').load_extension('nerdy')
```

And then call

```viml
:Telescope nerdy
" or
:lua require('telescope').extensions.nerdy.nerdy()
```

#### 🔄 Fetch New Icons

Running the `python scripts/generator.py` command will automatically fetch new icons from [source](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/master/glyphnames.json) and update the icons.

## Behind The Code

### 🌈 Inspiration

I love nerd font glyphs, and I use them anywhere I can! but I was wasting a lot of time going back and forth between nerd font site and neovim, also the copy feature was super buggy for me on the site, so I made nerdy!

### 💡 Challenges/Learnings

- Making the generated icon table with vim.ui.select was a bit tricky.
