disable floating window

[Masber]

Dear fzf-lua community,

I am playing with fzf-lua plugin for neovim, I was wondering whether it would be possible to disable the floating window?

I am looking for similar functionality to this vim command let g:fzf_layout = { 'down': '40%' }

Thank you

I’m not sure if it’s the same as the fzf layout you mentioned but if I understand correctly you want to open in a bottom split?

That’s very simple with fzf-lua, set winopts.split to whatever command you want that opens a new window, for example:

require'fzf-lua'.setup({ winopts = { split = 'belowright new' } })

This can be tested with single commands too:

:lua require'fzf-lua'.files({ winopts = { split = 'belowright new' } })

Btw if you want 40%, that’s possible by using winopts as a lua function and resizing the split based on 0.4*vim.o.lines.

Hi, Is it possible to open fzf in a bottom window with no split? I've tested fzf.vim and found it works well with vim.g.fzf_layout = { down = '~40%'}. It would be nice to have it in fzf-lua. Thank you!

Thats a split in the video you’re showing, neovim can have float or split, there are no other window types.

Oh, I see. It's a botright split. Thank you very much!

Oh, I see. It's a botright split. Thank you very much!

If you need different size set split command to botright split | resize … or any other command that modifies size.

I don’t know if there an option to create a botright spilt to make fzf-lua at the bottom with a full width. That’s would be nice when there’s already horizontal spilts otherwise the fzf-lua window would be too small to show previews.

It seems like vim.cmd[[wincmd J]] with on_create works.
