Window switching made easy with snacks' window picker

[zambo]

Hey folks! 👋

Just sharing a custom keymap I’ve been using recently. When I press <leader>ww, it brings up the snacks window picker. It’s made moving between open windows a lot smoother for me.

(Shame on me, I had to use the mouse at the end to stop the screen capture. 😅)

-- Snack window picker (include all windows except unwanted ones)
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>ww", function()
  local snacks = require("snacks")
  local win = snacks.picker.util.pick_win({
    filter = function(winid)
      local bufnr = vim.api.nvim_win_get_buf(winid)
      local buftype = vim.bo[bufnr].buftype
      local filetype = vim.bo[bufnr].filetype

      -- Exclude only specific unwanted window types
      local excluded_buftypes = {}
      local excluded_filetypes = {}

      -- Return true unless it's in our exclusion list
      return not vim.tbl_contains(excluded_buftypes, buftype) and not vim.tbl_contains(excluded_filetypes, filetype)
    end,
    include_floating = true,
  })
  if win == nil then
    win = vim.api.nvim_get_current_win()
  end
  vim.api.nvim_set_current_win(win)
end, { desc = "Window picker" })```
