[Picker] Disable options inside the preview buffer

Preview buffer

I'd like to disable sign and statuscolumn inside the preview buffer because they add extra padding to the left

This works, but then number and relativenumber are set and there is no way to disable them

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('FileType', {
	pattern = 'snacks_picker_preview',
	callback = function()
		vim.opt_local.signcolumn = 'auto'
		vim.opt_local.statuscolumn = ''
		-- No effect
		vim.opt_local.number = false
		vim.opt_local.relativenumber = false
	end,
})

You can easily accomplish this using the win option, it's in the docs. Use the top-level one to apply it to all pickers, under a layout to affect only that specific layout, or under a source to affect only that source/picker. E.g.:

opts = {
  picker = {
    win = { -- Global
      preview = {
        wo = {
          foldcolumn = "0",
          number = false,
          relativenumber = false,
          signcolumn = "no",
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

After testing this, I've added it to my configuration. The straw that broke the camel's back so to speak is that I switched the git pickers to use delta, which looks much nicer without the padding. We'll see if I miss anything after a few days of use, but I have a feeling this will be a permanent addition to my config.

I've added signcolumn=no for cmd previews as well in the meantime.
so also without native

Nice! Thinking about it, I do like the line numbers on non-cmd previews, so the new defaults are perfect. Thanks!

@minusfive It's still not working for me… I removed everything and just kept this and I'm still getting that gutter

Was missing statuscolumn = '',
