[Feature] Buffer 'live' preview

Open nikola-vukicevic opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Is there an option (already), to show the actual contents of buffers when using "Telescope buffers"?

(Kinda like what fzf-lua is doing. I really can't seem to find a similar option with Telescope).

If there is no such option ATM, I'd like to make it a feature request. :)

Cheers!

I'm not super familiar with fzf-lua but trying out FzfLua buffers the preview looks pretty similar. Telescope is missing line numbers. Is that what you're referencing? Are there any other differences?

I was referring to this:

  • Telescope showing the (last) saved version of the file:

Apr27::071624

  • fzf-lua showing the contents from the buffer:

Apr27::071756

I've noticed it as well and it will be super cool to have it in telescope (show current modified buffer version instead of last saved - from the disk)

I encountered this problem, it very confusing. I often edit some JSON files, and every time I format them, I have to save the file in order to display the correct content in the preview.
