Reducing absolut path length in fzf match

[aMOPel]

/home/user/work/project/src/file.end

To Either compression of the first few ~/w/p/src/file.end Or a max length ...roject/src/file.end Or some mix, where either is appropriate

Honestly this is a lot of work and I'm not sure I'll do it... Right now I can just take the output from fzf (I still modify it a bit but it's minimal), but by adding that I have to shorten the paths then expanding them afterwards, which means controlling that they are unique and I can already see the next issues... I'm leaving the issue open but I don't think I'll work on it unless there is a real need

i mean cant you make a map or 2 parallel arrays or smth, one where you have your nice expanded paths, and one where you have the reduced paths, and you pipe that one into the term and keep the other one, and afterwards you can identify the right expanded path by some id or the array index?

This would require a refactor, right now I'm pretty much just piping the result from fzf into neovim

[aMOPel]

i see, is that why you also dont want to add highlighting to the lines in fzf?

[LoricAndre]

Yes basically, I'll see if I can work on this next week
