FR: mentored projects
Hi all,
since core now engages in mentored projects, I was thinking telescope should maybe follow suit. To that end, here's a list of fixes/features/ideas loosely (and hopefully adequately) sorted from easy to hard the nvim-telescope team is happy to provide guidance on in a PR. Guidance means just open an issue or a first draft PR, lay out how you want to tackle the problem (further) and we'll do our best to help.
| Topic | Headline | Complexity | Prelim. Assignee | Relevant issues | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UI | dynamic_preview_title truncate on left side | Low | #1167 | dynamic_preview_title needs to be truncatable on the left so the end of the path can be displayed | |
| Feat | Composable LSP finders | Low-mid | #713 | Provide action that bridges selected entry and other lsp finders/actions | |
| Feat | Picker for lua functions | Mid | Mentioned on reddit | lua fn picker over _G analogous to builtin.commands |
|
| UI | Highlight match in preview | Mid | #933 #1042 | ||
| Feat | Picker for tabpages | Mid-high | Mentioned on gitter | Pick and preview tabpages; complexity primarily from previewer | |
| Feat | Return values from picker | Mid-high | #1159 | Prior knowledge with (plenary) async recommended | |
| Feat | Keep Telescope open | High | comment | Telescope as fuzzy quickfix list? Maybe needs discussion | |
| Feat | Combining pickers | Very High | #213 |
I'll do my best to keep this list up-to-date.
Here's how you'd start
- Fork the Project
- Create your Feature Branch (git checkout -b my_contribution)
- Make your changes
- Stage and commit your Changes (git add -u && git commit -m 'Add my contribution')
- Push to the Branch (git push origin my_contribution)
- Open a Pull Request by going to the project webpage; it'll then suggest to you to open a PR on telescope
Optionally, you can lay out your solution in the respective issues or a new feature request issue.
Hi.
I would like to start helping with some of this problems, but I'm a CS student and I have barely used github to manage my personal config repo, so I'm very lost about what should I do. I'm not even sure if this is the right place to ask for help about this 😅.
I have watched TJ's video about making a PR to Neovim, though. So I think I have to say I want to help on an issue (#1182 for example), clone the Telescope repo and start working on that (?).
Sorry for all the questions.
Sorry for all the questions.
No need to apologize; everybody was starting out at some point!
Here's roughly how you'd start.

Let me know in case you run into any troubles; I think #1182 hopefully already largely lays out how to tackle the issue, if you have more questions don't hesitate to ping me there!
