Use zf binary only for file searching

[HaleTom]

The zf algorithm excels at finding files because it searches first by filenames (which are usually unique in a project).

Can I setup fzf-lua to use zf only when searching for filenames?

[nenahp]

technically possible if it has the same flag with fzf...

With later versions of fzf we use --scheme=path:

fzf-lua/lua/fzf-lua/defaults.lua

Line 346 in 70cdea3

fzf_opts = { ["--multi"] = true, ["--scheme"] = "path" },

Not exactly the zf algo but close?

       --scheme=SCHEME
              Choose scoring scheme tailored for different types of input.

              path
                     Additional bonus point is only given to the characters
                     after path separator.  You might want to choose this
                     scheme over default if you have many files with spaces in
                     their paths. This also sets --tiebreak=pathname,length,
                     to prioritize matches occurring in the tail element of a
                     file path.

The closest I can find is --scheme=path --tiebreak=pathname,begin,length

man fzf:

       --tiebreak=CRI[,..]
              Comma-separated list of sort criteria to apply when the scores are tied.

              length   Prefers line with shorter length
              chunk    Prefers line with shorter matched chunk (delimited by whitespaces)
              pathname Prefers line with matched substring in the file name of the path
              begin    Prefers line with matched substring closer to the beginning
              end      Prefers line with matched substring closer to the end
              index    Prefers line that appeared earlier in the input stream

lazy.nvim config:

return {
  "ibhagwan/fzf-lua",
  opts = {
    files = {
      fzf_opts = { ["--multi"] = true, ["--scheme"] = "path", ["--tiebreak"] = "pathname,begin,length" },
    },
    files = {
      fzf_opts = { ["--multi"] = true, ["--scheme"] = "path", ["--tiebreak"] = "pathname,begin,length" },
    },
    git = {
      fzf_opts = { ["--multi"] = true, ["--scheme"] = "path", ["--tiebreak"] = "pathname,begin,length" },
    },
  },
