Circular layout presets in picker.layouts

[drowning-cat]

It’s not even a feature, just an improvement.

layouts = {
  better_telescope = {
    reverse = true,
    cycle = false,
    layout = {
      box = 'horizontal',
      width = 0.85,
      height = 0.9,
      backdrop = false,
      {
        box = 'vertical',
        border = 'single',
        title = '{title} {live} {flags}',
        { win = 'list', border = 'none' },
        { win = 'input', height = 1, border = 'top' },
      },
      { win = 'preview', width = 0.5, border = 'single', title = '{preview}' },
    },
  },
  default = {
    -- Does not work !!!
    preset = 'better_telescope',
    layout = {},
  },
},

What do you want to do? Why set default to better_telescope?

I haven't tested it yet, but it might work:

layouts = {
  better_telescope = user_layouts.better_telescope,
},
layout = {
  preset = 'better_telescope',
},

I was just about to post the same. I tested this in the past and it works.

Also your cycle = false has to go into opts.layout.cycle = false not in the opts.layouts.better_telescope.

Thanks.

I didn't know about the layout option until this discussion.
The only remaining use case for circular layouts is creating very similar layouts with different options, which isn't worth it.

Maybe the only thing I miss is...
