Sort telescope results by recency #12

Closed technicalpickles closed 10 months ago

technicalpickles commented 1 year ago

When I have a lot of files open, I usually end up navigating exclusively through Hbac Telescope. I don't know how feasible it is, but I would love to be able to see the results in it sorted by most recently viewed.

I don't know if nvim has some concept of when a buffer was last open and visibile, and I'm sure it would get a little complicated like if you have splits with multiple files open... https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-frecency.nvim is something in that space, but it has to use a sqlite database to do it.

If by most recently viewed you mean within a session, then its totally doable. Currently we get the entries for the picker using utils.get_listed_buffers https://github.com/axkirillov/hbac.nvim/blob/afb38c35327e763e5b3b72cad09ed76e37219ace/lua/hbac/telescope/make_finder.lua#L11 We need a different function that also sorts the entries using a sorting table. The sorting table should be placed in the state module and updated on each BufEnter. I can't promise that I'll find time to implement it, but you are welcome to open a PR of course.

Yep! That is exactly what I mean.

Thanks for the pointer on where to look for implementation. May try my hand if I get annoyed enough 😁
