Description

I made a custom source to show git files with multiple scopes, along with the status, based on this comment. The items look like

{
  text = "H path/to/file.js",
  path = "path/to/file.js"
},
{
  text = "? path/to/untracked.js",
  path = "path/to/untracked.js"
},

That works great, except that file icons don't show up. The request is for default_show to show icons for file items based on the file path rather than the display text.

The root issue is that get_icon in default_show is passed the text of each item rather than the entire item (or the path for file items).

A way to specify a custom prefix in the item would also work, assuming the icon would be added onto that. Maybe. Something like

{
  text = "path/to/file.js",
  prefix = "H",
  path = "path/to/file.js"
}

Thanks for the suggestion!

This looks like a reasonable use case. There is some work planned regarding icons in 'mini.nvim', so I think I'll revisit this feature during it.
