path.filename_first on all results with pahts

[nela]

Firstly, thanks for the great plugin - it is at the centre of my workflow!

I've newly found the option { files = { formatter = "path.filename_first" } } which is quite lovely and useful. So nuch, that it would be nice to include it on all queries that output filenames. grep/live_grep and lsp location_handler are the first that come to mind where this could be extended.

Moreover, I wonder if there is any existing functionality that allows for truncating long filenames (regardless of path.filename_first formatting). That a long filename such as src/app/common/something/else.sh could be truncated to s/a/c/s/else.sh, also toggling between these options would be great.

If not, I'd be happy to help with developing these, albeit some guideance would be very appreciated.

Add it to defaults (I would also recommend to try v2 which helps with logical search, see #1255):

:lua require("fzf-lua").setup({ defaults = { formatter={"path.filename_first",2} } })

Use path_shorten=true (can be combined with the formatter above).

Perfect, thanks!
Is it possible to make path_shorten=true work with grep/live_grep?
Also, is there any way I can pass these formatting options to make_entry.file or opts in fzf_exec ? I've tried setting both, but haven't been able to make them work.

It works with all pickers displaying file entries, add it to defaults if you want it for everything.

Pass the opts as 2nd arg to make_entry.file:

fzf-lua/lua/fzf-lua/make_entry.lua

Line 305 in ce1e24f

M.file = function(x, opts)
