Hide search field and navigate with hjkl

[sohanemon]

How can I naviage up/down with j/k and also hide the search bar from here?

buffers = {
          prompt = "   ",
          no_header = true,
          fzf_opts = { ["--delimiter"] = " ", ["--with-nth"] = "-1.." },
          winopts = {
            title = " Switch Buffer ",
            preview = { hidden = "hidden" },
            title_pos = "center",
            width = 0.60,
            height = 0.80,
          },
        }

i have added this for navigate:

keymap = {
        fzf = {
          ["h"] = "abort",
          ["j"] = "down",
          ["k"] = "up",
          ["l"] = "accept",
        },
      }

But, is there any way to hide the search bar?

Note that you aren’t setting the other default keybinds, if this isn’t intended add true to the first index:

keymap = {
        fzf = {
          true,
          ["h"] = "abort",
          ["j"] = "down",
          …

Im getting this error, setting true at the first index.

Error executing Lua callback: ...man/.local/share/nvim/lazy/fzf-lua/lua/fzf-lua/utils.lua:492: attempt to index upvalue 'k' (a number value)

I’m not sure what the “search bar” is the prompt block? Mark it in the screenshot if possible.

yes, the prompt block. I want to hide it.

That’s controlled by neovim’s guicursor (as fzf is a terminal buffer), you’re going to need the latest nightly:

:lua vim.opt.guicursor = "n-v-c-sm:block,i-ci-ve:ver25,r-cr-o:hor20,t:ver25"

Might also be possible with 0.10.2 (doesn't have t mode), see :help guicursor.

Seems something is messed up in your config, just used this with no issue:

require('fzf-lua').setup({
  keymap = {
    fzf = {
      true,
      ["h"] = "abort",
      ["j"] = "down",
      ["k"] = "up",
      ["l"] = "accept",
    },
  }
})

I think I understand what you want now, to hide the entire search input line, not just the cursor.

A bit hardly but possible junegunn/fzf#2890 (comment)

require('fzf-lua').setup({
  keymap = {
    fzf = {
      true,
      ["h"] = "abort",
      ["j"] = "down",
      ["k"] = "up",
      ["l"] = "accept",
    },
  }
})

I tried like this,

require('fzf-lua').setup({
 buffers = {
  keymap = {
    fzf = {
      true,
      ["h"] = "abort",
      ["j"] = "down",
      ["k"] = "up",
      ["l"] = "accept",
    },
  }
 }
})

I tried like this,

Remove the true in this case as you’re setting it under buffers as pickers already inherit global keymap, the true works only at the top level keymap.

out of curiosity @ibhagwan , what does true do for the top level keymap ?

Inherit all the other default keymap.fzf entries, without it you’re losing on the defaults, if you want to redefine the entire bind table completely you can remove it.

FYI, after the latest commit 12ac915 you can do the below and keep your esc as double purpose to abort from "normal" mode, this also changes the prompt info (e.g. "Files") to be displayed in the title since we lose the prompt:

require('fzf-lua').setup({
  "default-title", -- Important as we lose the prompt
  keymap = {
    fzf = {
      true,
      ["h"] = "abort",
      ["j"] = "down",
      ["k"] = "up",
      ["l"] = "accept",
      ["i"] = "unbind(h)+unbind(j)+unbind(k)+unbind(l)+unbind(i)+change-prompt(> )",
      ["esc"] = 'transform:case "$FZF_PROMPT" in\n'
          .. '*NORMAL*) echo abort;;\n'
          .. '*) echo "change-prompt(NORMAL - PRESS \'I\' FOR INSERT MODE)'
          .. '+rebind(h)+rebind(j)+rebind(k)+rebind(l)+rebind(i)";;'
          .. '\nesac',
      ["start"] = "change-prompt(NORMAL - PRESS 'I' FOR INSERT MODE)"
    },
  }
})
