How can i send picker selection to quickfix list, but append

[jacobrreed]

If i already have quickfix list populated, and open picker again, select multiple items and send to quickfix list, it erases old list and replaces it with new selections, how can I append instead?

You can't as it's currently implemented.

You can however implement a custom action of yours with most of the code shown here.

I believe this should work

return {
	{
		"folke/snacks.nvim",
		opts = {
			picker = {
				actions = {
					qflist_append = function(picker)
						picker:close()
						local sel = picker:selected()
						local items = #sel > 0 and sel or picker:items()
						local qf = {} ---@type vim.quickfix.entry[]
						for _, item in ipairs(items) do
							qf[#qf + 1] = {
								filename = Snacks.picker.util.path(item),
								bufnr = item.buf,
								lnum = item.pos and item.pos[1] or 1,
								col = item.pos and item.pos[2] + 1 or 1,
								end_lnum = item.end_pos and item.end_pos[1] or nil,
								end_col = item.end_pos and item.end_pos[2] + 1 or nil,
								text = item.line or item.comment or item.label or item.name or item.detail or item.text,
								pattern = item.search,
								valid = true,
							}
						end
						vim.fn.setqflist(qf, "a")
						vim.cmd("botright copen")
					end,
				},
				win = {
					input = {
						keys = {
							["<a-q>"] = { "qflist_append", mode = { "n", "i" } },
						},
					},
				},
			},
		},
	},
}
