When using <leader>ff fuzzy finding

Hi @partounian, have you checked the output of :checkhealth core? I am excited if it would give us any hint :laughing:

I just built the nvim Docker image with my config and cannot reproduce the error. I assume that on your system fzf (the original) is missing.

Background for my decision to remove telescope-fzf-native.nvim: The plugin requires gcc / build tools to be able to build, which is just too much bloat in my opinion. In addition, fzf (the original one) is a tool I very much rely on and is always installed by my package managers (brew, pacman, ...). I personally cannot justify the gcc dependency with an increase in speed in comparison to the original fzf (written in Go, a rather performant language as well)

[partounian]

Yes, :checkhealth core reports everything is OK except for missing skim.

Interesting that it doesn't work for me. I can search files, but the fuzzy part is not working. I will run your docker image again later to verify

[Allaman]

Maybe our expectation are different. fzf-native comes with another algorithm, I think.

Here is a screenshot within this repo's directory. Are the results different for you?

[partounian]

Those results are the same. You're right that our expectations are different. For example, I expect to see when results when I type lua cmp.

[Allaman]

Hmm, I'm uncertain if a space in the search term is "valid"? Without space I see proper results.

[Allaman]

I think a space is interpreted as, well ,space 😆

Note the missing foobar.lua in the results

Good news @partounian 😄 https://github.com/Allaman/nvim/commit/e799041d2648a416851c53575aa9bc2bc81c3f83

With just telescope.load_extension("fzf") the sorters should be overwritten and the other stuff I deleted in https://github.com/Allaman/nvim/commit/5e973ed152f4a687401fc662ec6f826430235221 should not be necessary

config.lua

return {
  plugins = {
    telescope = {
      fzf_native = {
        enable = true,
      },
    },
  },
}
