How to filter filters using Snacks.picker.grep() ?

[robsonpeixoto]

Is there a way to filter by file name and/or path on the Snacks.picker.grep() UI?

From the ui:

• search for something, like function.
• Then press <c-g>, this toggles live mode. Your search filter will switch.
• You can now use matcher syntax, so type something like file:lua$
• You'll now see lua results containing function
• Press <c-G> again to change the search filter, while the filename will also still be used

A more performant way would be to start the picker with Snacks.grep({glob = "*.lua"}).
This will prefilll the file glob pattern for the ripgrep command.

you can do exactly this in snacks as well. did you try?

Yeap, I tried but didn't work.

Some examples from a toy repo:

• Snacks:
  
  

• FzfLua:
  

I have nothing special in the picker's config, just enabled = true.

add a space after --

And should be -g=*.cpp

Awesome, works like a charm: foobar -- -g={*.cpp,*.hpp}
Thanks!
