telescope-symbols.nvim

telescope-symbols provide its users with the ability of picking symbols and insert them at point.

Installation

Plug 'nvim-telescope/telescope-symbols.nvim'

Usage

Running :Telescope symbols will populate the symbol picker with all the built-in sources.

Otherwise, if you want to use a single or a number of symbol set, then pass a table with the symbol sources you like to use :

:lua require'telescope.builtin'.symbols{ sources = {'emoji'} }
:lua require'telescope.builtin'.symbols{ sources = {'emoji', 'kaomoji', 'gitmoji'} }

In order for any source to be registered by telescope-symbols, it needs to be under your runtimepath inside data/telescope-sources/.

So if you are only interested in one of the sources provided in this repository, then download the desired source manually and copy it to the appropriate location. In that case you don't have to install this extension.

For Example: ~/.config/nvim/data/telescope-sources/my_symbols.json

Custom symbol sources

With telescope-symbol, you can easily create your own source via creating new file or extend current ones.

Symbol source format

The source files have to be decoded in json with the following format:

[
  [
    "symbol",
    "description" // used to fuzzy find
  ],
]

Symbol locations

In order for custom source to be registered by telescope-symbols, it needs to be under your runtimepath inside data/telescope-sources/.

For Example: ~/.config/nvim/data/telescope-sources/my_symbols.json
