fzf-nerdfont.nvim

A Neovim plugin that provides a handy way to search and insert Nerd Font iconsusing ibhagwan/fzf-lua while editing.

☄ Getting Started

This plugin provides a command FzfNerdFont that opens a fzf-lua window with a list of Nerd Font icons. You can search for an icon and press Enter to insert it into the current buffer.

Requirements

• Neovim (v0.11 or later)
• fzf
• jq (for regenerating glyphs)
• GNU make

📋 Installation

Using lazy.nvim:

require("lazy").setup({
    spec = {
      {
        "stephansama/fzf-nerdfont.nvim",
        lazy = true,
        build = ":FzfNerdfont generate",
        dependencies = { "ibhagwan/fzf-lua" },
        cmd = "FzfNerdfont",
        keys = {
            { "<leader>fi", "<CMD>FzfNerdfont<CR>", desc= "Open fzf nerd font picker" }
        },
        ---@module 'fzf-nerdfont'
        ---@type FzfNerdFontOpts
        opts = {}
      }
    }
})

{
  debug = false, -- Debugging
  glyphs_dir = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/fzf-nerdfont", -- The directory in which glyphs will be saved
  prompt = "Select Icon>", -- The fzf-lua prompt
}
