Support for Telescope

[Shatur]

Is your feature request related to a problem? You mentioned that Preview with fzf needs a pipe command, Windows can't be supported.. But there is an awesome telescope.nvim that works fast and allows to avoid using external program. It would be nice to support it :)

Describe the solution you'd like It would be nice to have an option to use Telescope instead of FZF.

Every fuzzy find can import the data of the current quickfix and become a filter for quickfix. But for now, only the UI of fzf perfectly compatible with quickfix.

If you want to filter data for quickfix, I think you can do it in telescope.nvim.

I am not sure if you are still using bqf, but preview with fzf has been supported for Windows since https://github.com/kevinhwang91/nvim-bqf/commit/50dae9a5ebabaf8857ccb6becabe708b440360f0.

Telescope already supports quickfix filtering, so not sure if anything is actually needs to be done here.

The workflow is this:

• Get your data into a quickfix
• Run :Telescope quickfix, this will open the telescope with the current quickfix contents.
• Filter data as needed in Telescope UI.
• Send the results from Telescope back into the quickfix, default action is <C-q>.

Voila, now the quickfix is filtered.

The issue is it uses fuzzy finding which is not always desirable.

Then maybe I did not understand what this issue is about. It says:

Isn't FZF a fuzzy finder by definition? :)

Oh, sorry, I thought that it's a different issue :)

The workflow is good, but bqf provides more. Fzf integration for Neovim also have quickfix picker.

Currently no nvim-bqf change (more: no nvim-bqf) is needed to filter quickfix list using Telescope. Try :Telescope quickfix or create a keymap like below (possibly with pcall on require):

local function configureWindow()
 --- other settings
  vim.keymap.set({'n'}, 'zf', require('telescope.builtin').quickfix, {buffer = true})
end

local augroup = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup ('BqfMappings', {clear = true })
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd ('FileType', {
  group = augroup,
  pattern = 'qf',
  callback = configureWindow,
})

Conversely, on the Telescope side we can create the new quickfix list (<C-q> by default, run <C-/> for help).

@kevinhwang91 it would be good to add such hint to README.

It's not necessary to add this hint because this issue is open.
