Toggle preview window #12

Closed ahmedelgabri closed 3 years ago

ahmedelgabri commented 3 years ago

I work in a very big monorepo & it's very common to have files +8 folders deep & duplicate names, which doesn't usually fit in the search results window. What I liked about fzf + fzf.vim was the ability to toggle the preview window so I can see the full path when I get multiple matching results. So it will be great if there is an option to do that on the fly.

Use <C-h>

Can the C-h persist (for a given view) for the remainder of the vim session?
Can this be made permanent?
Can the preview hiding behavior be auto-detected? My terminal sometimes has a width of 80 characters, which is too small to place the preview window in a vertical split.
Perhaps a more general way to handle the above is to choose different layouts depending on window dimensions. That way, the preview window may even be placed at the top when the terminal is too narrow.

I am not sure if that is still the case but when I first tested snap I noticed that it wasn't possible to enable preview (configure it) but don't show by default, making it show only on demand by <C-h>. I barely ever need previews for buffers, files, etc, but would like to be able to peek in when needed.

I will add the option to default to off to the new configuration API, and add auto detect for small terminal sizes

See #42 for the new work on the configuration API. It will land probably this weekend.
