Is it possible to enable finding "hidden" files? #12

Closed gfairchild closed 11 months ago

gfairchild commented 8 years ago

When I bring up the finder, how can I enable finding "hidden" files? For example, if I have a file named .config, it currently doesn't appear in my search results if I search for "config". Is there a way to enable this?

cloudhead commented 8 years ago

I think I'm going to enable this by default, as it seems to still respect .gitignore and doesn't search in .git directories.

gfairchild commented 8 years ago

Sounds good to me. I like respecting .gitignore and ignoring .git directories.

Here we go: https://github.com/cloudhead/neovim-fuzzy/commit/b9242e3c33223e2556e5ab4e71daeb77c945af74 (in current master)

Try it out and let me know.

Just updated. Looks like it is including the stuff in .git but is ignoring files specified in .gitignore.

Ah yes, it's because I have a .ignore file in my home directory with .git/ in it. You can do that for now, but I'm going to probably turn this into an option instead of default.

gfairchild commented 8 years ago

Having that as an option seems smart. I have dozens of git projects, and it would be nice to have a global option to turn it off for all projects.

gfairchild commented 8 years ago

And actually, now that I think about it, it may actually be nice to have several options:

Ignore .git. This is useful for people that care about including .git in their search results.
Use .gitignore. I have several projects where I use .gitignore to ignore files containing secrets (keys, passwords, etc.). I don't want these files tracked in git, but it is definitely useful to occasionally open them in vim.
Show hidden files. Some people may not want to see hidden files, while others might.

Having fine-grained control over each of these options would be nice.

cloudhead commented 8 years ago

I think what I'll do is expose a fuzzy#open function that can be called with a few options, then you can either use the default FuzzyOpen, or create a new command and pass whatever options you want to the open function.

I'm reverting the change for now and will look into this soon.

gfairchild commented 8 years ago

Sounds reasonable. Thanks!
