swiper-avy usage

[joaocortes]

I'm running emacs 26.1 with counsel, ivy, avyand swiper installed from melpa and up to date.
My init file is (excluding use-package configurations)

(use-package avy)     
(avy-setup-default)
     (global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-j") 'avy-resume)
     (global-set-key (kbd "C-'") 'avy-goto-char-2)

(use-package counsel
  :init (ivy-mode 1)
  (setq ivy-use-virtual-buffers t)
  (setq ivy-count-format "(%d/%d) "))

(global-set-key (kbd "C-s") 'swiper)

When searching for "a" with swiper through this buffer,

a x a x a
a e a e a

, I expected a call to swiper-avy would allow me to jump to any of the matches.
Instead, swiper-avy only sets up one shortcut for each matching line.
Is it something wrong with my config?

Thanks

I have a similar issue that C-' does not work out of the box and that binding C-c C-r does nothing.

Emacs v. 26.1

(use-package ivy
 :ensure t
 :bind (("C-c C-r" . ivy-resume)
    :map ivy-minibuffer-map
    ("C-'" . ivy-avy))
 :config
 (ivy-mode 1)
 (setq ivy-use-virtual-buffers t)
 (setq ivy-count-format "%d/%d ")
 (setq ivy-display-style 'fancy))

 (use-package ivy-rich
   :ensure t
   :after ivy
   :init
   (setq ivy-rich-path-style 'abbrev
     ivy-virtual-abbreviate 'full)
   :config (ivy-rich-mode 1))

 (use-package counsel
   :ensure t
   :after ivy
   :config
   (counsel-mode))

 (use-package swiper
   :ensure t
   :after ivy
   :bind (("C-s" . swiper)
      ("C-r" . swiper)))

 ;;  Actions
 ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

 ;;;  delete files when perusing your file system
 ;; (ivy-set-actions
 ;;  'counsel-find-file
 ;;  '(("d" delete-file "delete")))

ivy-resume also does not work. When I press the C-c C-r I get nothing...

Steps: Avy in Swiper

1. C-s
2. C-'

Steps ivy-Resume:

1. C-c C-r

I should add that I use emacsclient (emacsclient -c)

Thanks, please test.

@abo-abo I cannot get it to work in a python file that only has these lines

 d = "helo"




a = "hi"

sfr  = " hlloww"

I cannot also get it to work in an Org buffer.

I don't have any extra packages for Python (not using elpy only company/company-jedi). Checked the bindings and nothing binded to C-' in company, so swiper-avy should work.

Also, nothing happens when I press C-c C-r in an org buffer, but sometimes works in an Emacs-Lisp buffer.

I have tested in an Emacs-Lisp file and it worked once. I tested in a Python and Org mode buffer and still have the same issue.

Specifically, swiper-avy still does not work. I'm not sure if I should manually add a minibuffer keybinding with C-'.

I made sure I updated the package by

1. M-x list-packages
2. C-s swiper
3. Shift-u

And also went into swiper.el to line 242 and evaluated the function. I also called M-x swiper-avy in the swiper.el and I did not get any errors.]

should Swiper-avy be binded same way as ivy? ->

  (use-package ivy
    :ensure t
    :bind (("C-c C-r" . ivy-resume)
	   :map ivy-minibuffer-map
	   ("C-'" . ivy-avy))
    :config
    (ivy-mode 1)
    (setq ivy-use-virtual-buffers t)
    (setq ivy-count-format "%d/%d ")
    (setq ivy-display-style 'fancy))

If so how? Is there a variable for swiper like ivy-minibuffer-map?

[abo-abo]

@avocadoras You don't need any extra config. Just have avy installed and press C-'.

The problem is likely in your config. Try to reproduce with emacs -Q, load only swiper and avy.

[joaocortes]

In my case It's solved.
Thank you

I loaded emacs -Q then I copied this into scratch and evaluated each. expression. Still cannot get swiper-avy to work. Also, ivy-avy has some issues and opens another buffer.

(require 'package)
(setq package-enable-at-startup nil)

(add-to-list 'package-archives
	     '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))

(package-initialize)

;; Bootstrap 'use-package'
(unless (package-installed-p 'use-package)
  (package-refresh-contents)
  (package-install 'use-package))

(use-package avy
  :ensure t
  :bind ("M-s" . avy-goto-word-1)) ;; also accepts integer input like go-to-line

(use-package counsel
  :ensure t
  :config
  (counsel-mode))

(use-package ivy
  :ensure t
  :after (counsel avy)
  :bind ("C-c C-r" . ivy-resume)
  :config
  (ivy-mode 1)
  (setq ivy-use-virtual-buffers t)
  (setq ivy-count-format "%d/%d ")
  (setq ivy-display-style 'fancy))

(use-package swiper
  :ensure t
  :after (ivy avy)
  :bind ("C-s" . swiper))

  (use-package ivy-rich
    :ensure t
    :after ivy
    :init
    (setq ivy-rich-path-style 'abbrev
	  ivy-virtual-abbreviate 'full)
    :config (ivy-rich-mode 1))

Although the image here was not loaded with emacs -Q, I observe the same behavior when I repeat the steps stated above.

EDIT: ivy-avy sometimes has that behavior, but works in most cases. I removed elpa/ and reinstalled my packages and swiper-avy still does not work :/. swiper-avy works, I was being very stupid and realized it only works after you have typed a character. I was testing if on the empty string. well, this issue is closed since the ivy-avy issue does not belong to swiper-avy.

@avocadoras I'm glad you solved your problem :)
