[Feature] Prevent fzy search

[hjkatz]

Is there a way to prevent the fzy search from happening by default when opening references (and other functions) for large lists? I notice that the behaviour seems to change when there are ~5 references found (then I can immediately start using j/k to move up/down) vs. when there are ~15 references (then I just start filtering for "jjjjjjj"... which is no fun).

What I would like is:

• Never start the fzy search by default (some config here or in guihua)
• Enter the fzy search using / or another mapping while in the popup panel

I wasn't able to find where/how this behaviour was being set in the code with a quick read.

This might be an insert vs. normal mode thing. Maybe the default mode is insert when the number of list items is greater than some threshold...?

You are right, It is in Insertmode when the listed items are more than a page. You can simplify change back to Nomal mode when you need to move up/down. Or use imap to move up/down e.g. <C-n> and <C-p> or <Up> and <Down>

Can I change the threshold of "when the listed items are more than a page"?

I always want to open up guihua windows in Normal mode.

I added a new option to the config prompt_mode = 'insert', -- 'normal' | 'insert'

I updated locally and didn't see the changes work as expected.

So I manually changed this diff in my local plugin's code:

    opts.transparency = config.transparency
    if #items >= config.lines_show_prompt then
      opts.prompt = true
      opts.enter = _NgConfigValues.prompt_mode == 'insert'
    end

+   opts.prompt = true
+   opts.enter = false
+

and still I see the prompt mode starting in insert mode.

Yes. you are right. There are another piece been missing. I updated the code and run some tests and it should work now

Great! Looks like everything is working now :)
