Enum CandidateKind 

pub enum CandidateKind {
    Command,
    Option,
    File,
    Directory,
    Pattern,
    Buffer,
    Register,
    Mark,
    Chord,
    Plain,
    Extension(u32),
}

What kind of thing this candidate is. Drives icon / colour / grouping in the popup, and (for CommandKind) hints at the follow-up :describe-* target.

Variants

Command

Option

File

Directory

Pattern

Buffer

Register

Mark

Chord

Plain

Extension(u32)

Plugin-defined kind. The numeric tag is registered alongside the plugin’s generator so :describe-completion-source can resolve it back to a name.

Implementations

impl CandidateKind

pub fn glyph(&self) -> char

Issue #35 (2026-05-22): one-char ASCII glyph for picker marginalia. The renderer paints this in the left margin of each picker row so the user can scan the candidate list by kind. ASCII fallback chosen so it works even when nerd-fonts are off; the icon system (Phase 5.6.7) may layer a richer sprite on top later.
