The `lines` picker
picker-lines: fuzzy-filter the current buffer's lines and jump to one, with the buffer previewed in place.On this page
Every line of the buffer you are in, filtered as you type. Moving the selection scrolls the buffer to that line in place; <CR> puts the cursor there.
Open it with :picker lines. It takes no arguments and reads the buffer that was active when you opened it.
Keys in this picker
| Key | Here |
|---|---|
| (type) | Filter lines, fuzzily; space separates fragments, !word excludes lines containing word |
<CR> | Put the cursor at the start of that line |
<C-s> / <C-v> / <C-t> | Open the same buffer in a new horizontal split / vertical split / tab, at that line — keep your place here and look at the match beside it |
<C-q> | Send every line still listed to the error list, then close. Only for a buffer with a file on disk; a scratch buffer has no location to send |
<C-n> / <C-p>, <Down> / <Up>, <Tab> / <S-Tab> | Move the selection — the buffer scrolls with it |
<BS> / <C-w> | Delete a character / the previous word of the query |
<C-r> | Append something from your yank history to the query |
<Esc> / <C-c> | Close, with the buffer scrolled back to where it was |
<C-h> | This page |
<C-l> and <C-d> do nothing here.
What is listed
One row per line, blank lines included, in buffer order — the text of the line (syntax-highlighted) with its 1-based line number on the right. Unlike /, the match is fuzzy and multi-word: err ret finds return Err(e).
Jumping records where you were, so <C-o> brings you back.
