actions.nvim

What is actions.nvim

Actions is a basic wrapper around telescope.nvim and toggleterm.nvim, allowing for powerful control over all functions.

Actions mostly exists for myself, so do not expect that it will be actively maintained.

A lot of inspiration (and code) is taken from toggletasks.nvim, so do consider that one as well.

Basic configuration

For packer

use {
  "yaanae/actions.nvim",
  requires = ["nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim", "akinsho/toggleterm.nvim"]
  after = "telescope.nvim",
  config = function() require("telescope").load_extension "actions_nvim" end,
}

Configuration

require("telescope").setup {
  extensions = {
    actions_nvim = {
      get_actions = function()
        local win = vim.api.nvim_get_current_win()
        local filetype = vim.api.nvim_buf_get_option(vim.api.nvim_win_get_buf(win), "filetype")
        local actions = {
          {
            name = "Call function",
            cmd = function() vim.api.nvim_put({ "text" }, "", false, true) end,
          },
          { name = "Call command in Toggleterm", cmd = "echo Hi!" },
          { name = "Expand commands", cmd = "echo ${file}" },
          { name = "with filename modifiers", cmd = "echo ${file:h}"}, -- Echoes directory
          { name = "or without expansion", cmd = "echo $${file}"}, -- Echoes "${file}"
          { name = "More lua", cmd = string.format("echo %s", filetype) }
        }
        if filetype == "lua" then
          table.insert(actions, { name = "Show actions conditionally", cmd = "echo filetype==lua" }) 
        end
        return actions
      end,
    },
  },
}

Available options for command expansions are:

• ${win_cwd} - Vim's window-local CWD
• ${tab_cwd} - Vim's tab-local CWD
• ${global_cwd} - Vim's global CWD
• ${file} - absolute path to the current buffer's file
• ${cursor_line} - cursor line of the current window
• ${cursor_column} - cursor column of the current window
