Navigate to specified path

[Tai-Mai]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'd like to be able to navigate to a specific directory by passing it to telescope file browser in order to inspect its contents and add a new file. My original motivation was that I wanted to be able to navigate to my nvim config folder and add new files. I've since found telescope project which does what I want for my nvim config files, however, I'm still missing the option to pass other miscellaneous paths to navigate there.

Describe the solution you'd like A pane in telescope file browser that acts as a "url bar" of sorts where I can see the current path and edit the path to navigate there. Ideally with fuzzy search.

Describe alternatives you've considered Up until now, I just did it with :e path/to/file but I wish there was a way to do it in telescope file browser since I like the UI and file previews.

Additional context I'm using LazyVim.

You can currently do :Telescope file_browser path=/path/to/someplace already. If you use the option hijack_netrw=true, then :e /path/to/someplace also opens telescope-file-browser in that path (if given path is a directory).

Does this satisfy your request?

Thanks for the reply!

I've set hijack_netrw=true but when I do :e /path/to/someplace then NvimTree opens the path instead of telescope file browser and I figure out how to prevent it from doing that. Is this an issue with NvimTree then?

Nice to know that :Telescope file_browser path=/path/to/someplace works! I hope you can consider turning that into an address bar like I mentioned above.

Oh, there isn't really an issue here. It's just that both nvim-tree and telescope-file-browser is trying to hijack netrw through the same mechanism and there's a conflict. Not much to do other than to only use hijack_netrw = true for one of the plugins. The ordering of the plugins being loaded probably plays a role as well.

Ideally with fuzzy search.

I should make sure you know about :Telescope file_browser files=false to fuzzy find over directories in your cwd in a folder browser mode. You can also get to this mode with <C-f> by default from the usual :Telescope file_browser.

I hope that's close enough to what you're looking for.
