✨ Features

📰 What's new?

This is a full rewrite of the original trouble.nvim.

The new version is much more flexible and powerful, with a lot of new features and improvements:

⚡️ Requirements

📦 Installation

Install the plugin with your preferred package manager:

lazy.nvim

{
  "folke/trouble.nvim",
  opts = {}, -- for default options, refer to the configuration section for custom setup.
  cmd = "Trouble",
  keys = {
    {
      "<leader>xx",
      "<cmd>Trouble diagnostics toggle<cr>",
      desc = "Diagnostics (Trouble)",
    },
    {
      "<leader>xX",
      "<cmd>Trouble diagnostics toggle filter.buf=0<cr>",
      desc = "Buffer Diagnostics (Trouble)",
    },
    {

🚀 Usage

Commands

The Trouble command is a wrapper around the Trouble API. It can do anything the regular API can do.

Some examples:

Please refer to the API section for more information on the available actions and options.

Modes:

<!-- modes:start --> <!-- modes:end -->

Filters

Please refer to the filter docs for more information examples on filters.

Telescope

You can easily open any search results in Trouble, by defining a custom action:

local actions = require("telescope.actions")
local open_with_trouble = require("trouble.sources.telescope").open

-- Use this to add more results without clearing the trouble list
local add_to_trouble = require("trouble.sources.telescope").add

local telescope = require("telescope")

telescope.setup({
  defaults = {
    mappings = {
      i = { ["<c-t>"] = open_with_trouble },
      n = { ["<c-t>"] = open_with_trouble },
    },
  },
})

When you open telescope, you can now hit <c-t> to open the results in Trouble

fzf-lua

You can easily open any search results in Trouble, by defining a custom action:

local config = require("fzf-lua.config")
local actions = require("trouble.sources.fzf").actions
config.defaults.actions.files["ctrl-t"] = actions.open

When you open fzf-lua, you can now hit <c-t> to open the results in Trouble

Statusline Component

Example for lualine.nvim:

{
  "nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim",
  opts = function(_, opts)
    local trouble = require("trouble")
    local symbols = trouble.statusline({
      mode = "lsp_document_symbols",
      groups = {},
      title = false,
      filter = { range = true },
      format = "{kind_icon}{symbol.name:Normal}",
      -- The following line is needed to fix the background color
      -- Set it to the lualine section you want to use
      hl_group = "lualine_c_normal",
    })
    table.insert(opts.sections.lualine_c, {
      symbols.get,
      cond = symbols.has,
    })
  end,
}
