• One of:
  • telescope.nvim
  • snacks.nvim

Features

• Search the full RFC index via fuzzy finder
• Fetches and caches RFC content locally (~/.cache/nvim/rfc/)
• Configurable picker (Telescope or Snacks)
• Open RFCs in current buffer, vertical split, or horizontal split

Installation

Install with your favorite package manager:

lazy.nvim:

{
  'FrancescoDeSimone/rfc.nvim',
  dependencies = {
    'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim', -- or snacks.nvim
  },
  config = function()
    require('rfc').setup({
      picker = 'telescope', -- or 'snacks' (auto-detected if not set)
      verbose = false,  -- Enable/disable verbose notifications
    })
  end
}

packer.nvim:

use {
  'FrancescoDeSimone/rfc.nvim',
  requires = { 'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim' }, -- or snacks.nvim
  config = function()
    require('rfc').setup()
  end
}

Open the RFC index:

:RFC

You can cleanup the cache:

:RFC clean

You can force refresh rfc already downloaded once opened:
