To quickly test this plugin without changing your configuration run (will run in it's own sandbox with the default keybinds below):
sh -c "$(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ibhagwan/fzf-lua/main/scripts/mini.sh)"
Note: it's good practice to first read the script before running
sh -c
directly from the web

Easy! run :FzfLua setup_fzfvim_cmds
and use the same familiar commands
used by fzf.vim, i.e. :Files
, :Rg
, etc.
Using the builtin
fzf-vim
profile will also create fzf.vim's user commands, i.e.require("fzf-lua").setup({ "fzf-vim" })
What more can be said about fzf? It is the single most impactful tool for my command line workflow, once I started using fzf I couldn’t see myself living without it.
To understand fzf properly I highly recommended fzf screencast by @samoshkin
This is my take on the original fzf.vim, written in lua for neovim 0.5, it builds on the elegant nvim-fzf as an async interface to create a performant and lightweight fzf client for neovim that rivals any of the new shiny fuzzy finders for neovim.
... and not telescope or any other vim/neovim household name?
As @junegunn himself put it, “because you can
and you love fzf
”.
If you’re happy with your current setup there is absolutely no reason to switch.
That said, without taking anything away from the greatness of other plugins I
found it more efficient having a uniform experience between my shell and my
nvim. In addition fzf
has been a rock for me since I started using it and
hadn’t failed me once, it never hangs and can handle almost anything you throw
at it. That, and colorful file icons and git indicators!.
neovim
version >0.5.0
fzf
version >0.24
orskim
binary installed- nvim-web-devicons (optional)
- fd - better
find
utility - rg - better
grep
utility - bat - syntax highlighted previews when using fzf's native previewer
- delta - syntax highlighted git pager for git status previews
- nvim-dap - for Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP) support
Below are a few optional dependencies for viewing media files (which you need
to configure in previewer.builtin.extensions
):
- chafa - terminal image previewer (recommended, supports most file formats)
- viu - terminal image previewer
- ueberzugpp - terminal image previewer using X11/Wayland child windows, sixels, kitty and iterm2
-
rg is required for
grep
andtags
-
git for Windows is required for
git
(though installinggit-bash
|sh
is not required). -
Installation of dependencies (fzf, rg, fd, etc) is possible via scoop, chocolatey or winget-cli
-
Although almost everything works on Windows exactly as the *NIX/OSX check out the Windows README for known issues and limitations.
Using vim-plug
Plug 'ibhagwan/fzf-lua', {'branch': 'main'}
" optional for icon support
Plug 'nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons'
Using packer.nvim
use { "ibhagwan/fzf-lua",
-- optional for icon support
requires = { "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons" }
}
Using lazy.nvim
{
"ibhagwan/fzf-lua",
-- optional for icon support
dependencies = { "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons" },
config = function()
-- calling `setup` is optional for customization
require("fzf-lua").setup({})
end
}
Note: if you already have fzf installed you do not need to install
fzf
orfzf.vim
, however if you do not have it installed, you only need fzf which can be installed with (fzf.vim is not a requirement nor conflict):Plug "junegunn/fzf", { "do": { -> fzf#install() } }or with packer.nvim:
use = { "junegunn/fzf", run = "./install --bin" }or with lazy.nvim
{ "junegunn/fzf", build = "./install --bin" }
Fzf-lua aims to be as plug and play as possible with sane defaults, you can run any fzf-lua command like this:
:lua require('fzf-lua').files()
-- or using the `FzfLua` vim command:
:FzfLua files
or with arguments:
:lua require('fzf-lua').files({ cwd = '~/.config' })
-- or using the `FzfLua` vim command:
:FzfLua files cwd=~/.config
which can be easily mapped to:
nnoremap <c-P> <cmd>lua require('fzf-lua').files()<CR>
or if using init.lua
:
vim.keymap.set("n", "<c-P>",
"<cmd>lua require('fzf-lua').files()<CR>", { silent = true })
Resuming work from where you left off is as easy as:
:lua require('fzf-lua').resume()
-- or
:FzfLua resume
Alternatively, resuming work on a specific provider:
:lua require('fzf-lua').files({ resume = true })
-- or
:FzfLua files resume=true

ADVANCED CUSTOMIZATION : to create your own fzf-lua commands see Wiki/ADVANCED
Customization can be achieved by calling the setup()
function (optional) or
individually sending parameters to a builtin command, A few examples below:
Different
fzf
layout:
:lua require('fzf-lua').files({ fzf_opts = {['--layout'] = 'reverse-list'} })
Using
files
with a different command and working directory:
:lua require'fzf-lua'.files({ prompt="LS> ", cmd = "ls", cwd="~/<folder>" })
Using
live_grep
withgit grep
:
:lua require'fzf-lua'.live_grep({ cmd = "git grep --line-number --column --color=always" })
colorschemes
with non-default window size:
:lua require'fzf-lua'.colorschemes({ winopts = { height=0.33, width=0.33 } })
Use setup()
If you wish for a setting to persist and not have to send it using the call
arguments, e.g:
require('fzf-lua').setup{
winopts = {
...
}
}
Can also be called from a .vim
file:
lua << EOF
require('fzf-lua').setup{
...
}
EOF
Conveniently, fzf-lua comes with a set of preconfigured profiles, notably:
Profile | Details |
---|---|
default |
fzf-lua defaults, uses neovim "builtin" previewer and devicons (if available) for git/files/buffers |
fzf-native |
utilizes fzf's native previewing ability in the terminal where possible using bat for previews |
fzf-tmux |
similar to fzf-native and opens in a tmux popup (requires tmux > 3.2) |
fzf-vim |
closest to fzf.vim 's defaults (+icons), also sets up user commands (:Files , :Rg , etc) |
max-perf |
similar to fzf-native and disables icons globally for max performance |
telescope |
closest match to telescope defaults in look and feel and keybinds |
skim |
uses skim as an fzf alternative, (requires the sk binary) |
Use :FzfLua profiles
to experiment with the different profiles, once you've found what
you like and wish to make the profile persist, send a string
argument at the first index
of the table sent to the setup
function:
require('fzf-lua').setup({'fzf-native'})
Note:
setup
can be called multiple times for profile "live" switching
You can also start with a profile as "baseline" and customize it, for example,
telescope defaults with bat
previewer:
:lua require"fzf-lua".setup({"telescope",winopts={preview={default="bat"}}})
Combining of profiles is also available by sending table instead of string as the first argument:
:lua require"fzf-lua".setup({{"telescope","fzf-native"},winopts={fullscreen=true}})
See profiles for more info.
Fzf-lua comes with a set of completion functions for paths/files and lines from open buffers as
well as custom completion, for example, set path/completion using <C-x><C-f>
:
inoremap <c-x><c-f> <cmd>lua require("fzf-lua").complete_path()<cr>
Or in all modes using lua:
vim.keymap.set({ "n", "v", "i" }, "<C-x><C-f>",
function() require("fzf-lua").complete_path() end,
{ silent = true, desc = "Fuzzy complete path" })
Or with a custom command and preview:
vim.keymap.set({ "i" }, "<C-x><C-f>",
function()
require("fzf-lua").complete_file({
cmd = "rg --files",
winopts = { preview = { hidden = "nohidden" } }
})
end, { silent = true, desc = "Fuzzy complete file" })
Note: only
complete_file
supports a previewer
Every fzf-lua function can be easily converted to a completion function by sending
complete = true
in the options:
By default fzf-lua will insert the entry at the cursor location as if you used
p
to paste the selected entry.
require("fzf-lua").fzf_exec({"foo", "bar"}, {complete = true})
Custom completion is possible using a custom completion callback, the example below will replace the text from the current cursor column with the selected entry:
require("fzf-lua").fzf_exec({"foo", "bar"}, {
-- @param selected: the selected entry or entries
-- @param opts: fzf-lua caller/provider options
-- @param line: originating buffer completed line
-- @param col: originating cursor column location
-- @return newline: will replace the current buffer line
-- @return newcol?: optional, sets the new cursor column
complete = function(selected, opts, line, col)
local newline = line:sub(1, col) .. selected[1]
-- set cursor to EOL, since `nvim_win_set_cursor`
-- is 0-based we have to lower the col value by 1
return newline, #newline - 1
end
})

These can be easily customized either via the lua API:
:lua vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "FzfLuaBorder", { link = "FloatBorder" })
Or vimscript:
:hi! link FzfLuaBorder FloatBorder
If you wish to override a highlight without having to modify your
colorscheme highlights, set the corresponding hls
override or
specify it directly via a call argument.
Temporary highlight override:
:lua require'fzf-lua'.files({ hls={preview_title="IncSearch"} })
Permanent global override via setup
:
require('fzf-lua').setup {
hls = { border = "FloatBorder" }
}
Fzf's terminal colors are controlled by fzf's --color
flag which can be
configured during setup via fzf_colors
(see man fzf
for all color options):
require('fzf-lua').setup {
fzf_colors = {
-- First existing highlight group will be used
-- values in 3rd+ index will be passed raw
-- i.e: `--color fg+:#010101:bold:underline`
["fg+"] = { "fg" , { "Comment", "Normal" }, "bold", "underline" },
-- It is also possible to pass raw values directly
["gutter"] = "-1"
}
}
Conveniently, fzf-lua can also be configured using fzf.vim's g:fzf_colors
, i.e:
-- Similarly, first existing highlight group will be used
:lua vim.g.fzf_colors = { ["gutter"] = { "bg", "DoesNotExist", "IncSearch" } }
However, the above doesn't allow combining both neovim highlights and raw args,
if you're only using fzf-lua we can hijack g:fzf_colors
to accept fzf-lua style
values (i.e. table at 2nd index and 3rd+ raw args):
:lua vim.g.fzf_colors = { ["fg+"] = { "fg", { "ErrorMsg" }, "bold", "underline" } }
Big thank you to all those I borrowed code/ideas from, I read so many configs and plugin codes that I probably forgot where I found some samples from so if I missed your name feel free to contact me and I'll add it below:
- @vijaymarupudi for his wonderful nvim-fzf plugin which is at the core of this plugin
- @tjdevries for too many great things to list here and for borrowing some of his nvim-telescope provider code
- @lukas-reineke for inspiring the solution after browsing his dotfiles and coming across his fuzzy.lua , and while we're, also here for his great lua plugin indent-blankline
- @sindrets for borrowing utilities from his fantastic lua plugin diffview.nvim
- @kevinhwang91 for using his previewer code as baseline for the builtin previewer and his must have plugin nvim-bqf
