Toggle fuzzy in picker.lines?

[Ajaymamtora]

I've tried binding this action but it does not actually affect the picker:

    actions = {
      toggle_matcher_fuzzy = function(picker)
        picker.opts.matcher.fuzzy = not picker.opts.matcher.fuzzy
        -- picker.list.matcher.opts.fuzzy = not picker.list.matcher.opts.fuzzy
        -- picker.list.matcher.mods[1][1].fuzzy = not picker.list.matcher.mods[1][1].fuzzy

        picker:find()
      end,

...

Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried the 2 commented out lines as well and nothing works.

Changing the opts like:

          matcher = {
            smartcase = false,
            ignorecase = true,
            fuzzy = false,
          },

Does change the behaviour when opening it but want to toggle it at runtime.

You can see here how toggle_live is implemented. Maybe you could do something similar? Not too familiar with it myself to be honest.

Yes, I've tried all of these, none work

      toggle_matcher_fuzzy = function(picker)
        -- picker.opts.fuzzy = not picker.opts.fuzzy
        picker.matcher.opts.fuzzy = not picker.matcher.opts.fuzzy
        -- picker.opts.matcher.fuzzy = not picker.opts.matcher.fuzzy
        -- picker.list.matcher.opts.fuzzy = not picker.list.matcher.opts.fuzzy
        -- picker.list.matcher.mods[1][1].fuzzy = not picker.list.matcher.mods[1][1].fuzzy

        -- dd(picker.opts)
        -- require("utils.general").write_debug_log(picker.opts, true)
        picker:find()

        picker.input:set()
        picker.input:update()
      end,

I'm having the same issue, if you figured it out I'd be interested in knowing the solution

This code actually works, but you need to change the input to see the difference:

toggle_fuzzy = function(picker)
  picker.matcher.opts.fuzzy = not picker.matcher.opts.fuzzy
  picker:find()
end,

As I understand it, we need to bypass this check to forcefully apply the matcher to the current list:

snacks.nvim/lua/snacks/picker/core/matcher.lua

Lines 176 to 178 in bc0630e

	if pattern == self.pattern then
	return false
	end

snacks.nvim/lua/snacks/picker/core/picker.lua

Line 866 in bc0630e

if self.matcher:init(filter.pattern) or finding then

toggle_fuzzy = function(picker)
  picker.matcher.opts.fuzzy = not picker.matcher.opts.fuzzy
  -- HACK: Bypass `matcher:init` pattern check
  picker.matcher.pattern = ''
  picker:find()
end,

Thanks @drowning-cat that was the missing link!
