telescope-project.nvim

An extension for telescope.nvim that allows you to switch between projects.

Demo

Requirements

• telescope.nvim (required)
• telescope-file-browser.nvim (optional, only for file_browser action)

Installation

Lazy.nvim

{
    'nvim-telescope/telescope-project.nvim',
    dependencies = {
        'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim',
    },
}

packer.nvim

use {
    'nvim-telescope/telescope-project.nvim',
    requires = {
        'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim',
    },
}

Setup

You can set up the extension by adding the following to your config:

require'telescope'.load_extension('project')

You may skip explicitly loading extensions (they will then be lazy-loaded), but tab completions will not be available right away.

Available functions:

Project

The projects picker:

require'telescope'.extensions.project.project{}

Default mappings (normal mode):

Key	Description
d	delete currently selected project
r	rename currently selected project
c	create a project*
s	search inside files within your project
b	browse inside files within your project
w	change to the selected project's directory without opening it
R	find a recently opened file within your project
f	find a file within your project (same as <CR>)
o	change current cd scope

Default mappings (insert mode):

Key	Description
<c-d>	delete currently selected project
<c-v>	rename currently selected project
<c-a>	create a project*
<c-s>	search inside files within your project
<c-b>	browse inside files within your project
<c-l>	change to the selected project's directory without opening it
<c-r>	find a recently opened file within your project
<c-f>	find a file within your project (same as <CR>)
<c-o>	change current cd scope

* defaults to your git root if used inside a git project, otherwise, it will use your current working directory

Workspace mappings (insert mode):

Key	Description
<c-w>	change workspace

Example key map config:

vim.api.nvim_set_keymap(
        'n',
        '<C-p>',
        ":lua require'telescope'.extensions.project.project{}<CR>",
        {noremap = true, silent = true}
)

Available options:

Keys	Description	Options
display_type	Show the title and the path of the project	'full' or 'minimal' (default)
hide_workspace	Hide the workspace of the project	true or false (default)

Options can be added when requiring telescope-project, as shown below:

lua require'telescope'.extensions.project.project{ display_type = 'full' }

Available setup settings:

Keys	Description	Options
base_dirs	Array of project base directory configurations	table (default: nil)
hidden_files	Show hidden files in selected project	bool (default: false)
order_by	Order projects by asc, desc, recent	string (default: recent)
sync_with_nvim_tree	Sync projects with nvim tree plugin	bool (default: false)
search_by	Telescope finder search by field (title/path)	string or table (default: title). Can also be a table {"title", "path"} to search by both title and path
on_project_selected	Custom handler when project is selected	function(prompt_bufnr) (default: find project files)
cd_scope	Array of cd scopes: tab, window, global	table (default: {"tab", "window"})
mappings	Sets the mappings inside the telescope view	table (default: the mappings described bellow)
Setup settings can be added when requiring telescope, as shown below:

      on_project_selected = function(prompt_bufnr)
        -- Do anything you want in here. For example:
        project_actions.change_working_directory(prompt_bufnr, false)
        require("harpoon.ui").nav_file(1)
      end,
      mappings = {
        n = {
