No syntax highlight happens when LazyLoading Treesitter on event BufReadPre, only for python (I guess most other languages over lua ?)

Setting VeryLazy fixes it

You've solved the discussion by yourself. Preview does not trigger BufRead events.

As a reference on how to lazy load treesitter:

{
  'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter',
  build = ':TSUpdate',
  -- Load treesitter early when opening a file from the cmdline
  lazy = vim.fn.argc(-1) == 0,
  -- Drastically improves startup time by lazy loading syntax highlighting
  -- and other nvim-treesitter features
  event = 'VeryLazy',
  main = 'nvim-treesitter.configs', -- Sets main module to use for opts
  opts = {
    -- ...

How come lua syntax higlighting still worked though ?

TS highlights work with Treesiter on lazy=VeryLazy but I'd have expected it not to, since Snacks isn't lazy loaded and comes first... so it neither runs initiation code depending on Treesitter being loaded nor has the capacity to adjust to it being intialized once a picker has been opened ?

just curious

It could just be regex default highlighting. Try turning off the treesitter plugin to see if it makes a difference.

Something is going on with Lua since even with an explicit disable of TS and it not showing up as loaded on the lazy dashboard (no deps involved) Inspect gives me TS information 🤷.. cannot use the cmd TSModuleInfo though
