Win-picker.nvim

Win-picker allows you to quickly focus any window in your tabpane.

It was first inspired by the default window picker of nvim-tree.
And then I decided to move to the float mode inspired by nvim-window.

So, why use this picker instead of those mentioned ones or any other one, you might ask?

I just wanted to create my first neovim plugin and keep it as simple as possible (~100LOC), so that anyone curious can tinker with it easily.

Configuration

Here is the default configuration.

• chars is a string defining the characters used to select the window.
• filter is a function receiving a win_id as parameter and returning a boolean to filter out a window.
• hl_group is a string designating a predefined highlight group.

require('win-picker').setup({
  chars = "1234567890",
  filter = nil,
  hl_group = nil,
})

Usage

Install and configure using lazy.nvim

  {
    'meeehdi-dev/win-picker.nvim',
    config = true, -- setup with default options
    keys = {
      {
        "<C-w>!",
        function()
          local win_id = require("win-picker").pick_win()
          if win_id then
            vim.api.nvim_set_current_win(win_id)
          end
        end,
      },
    },
  }
  -- or
  {
    'meeehdi-dev/win-picker.nvim',
    opts = {
      chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890",
      filter = function(id)
        local bufid = vim.api.nvim_win_get_buf(id)
        local ft = vim.api.nvim_buf_get_option(bufid, "filetype")
        return not vim.tbl_contains({ "noice", "notify" }, ft)
      end,
      hl_group = "WinPicker",
    },
    config = function (_, opts)
        vim.api.nvim_command("hi def WinPicker gui=bold guifg=#1d202f guibg=#7aa2f7")
        require("win-picker").setup(opts)
    end,
    keys = {
      {
        "<leader>w",
        function()
          local win_id = require("win-picker").pick_win()
          if win_id then
            vim.api.nvim_set_current_win(win_id)
          end
        end,
      },
    },
  }

It can also be used as the window picker for nvim-tree

  {
    "nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua",
    dependencies = {
      {
        "meeehdi-dev/win-picker.nvim",
        config = true,
      },
    },
    opts = {
      actions = {
        open_file = {
          window_picker = {
            picker = function()
              return require("win-picker").pick_win({
                -- you can set the same options as in the config
                hl_group = "lualine_a_normal", -- use lualine normal mode hl group
              })
            end,
          },
        },
      },
    },
    -- ...
  },
