Support of fzf-lua

[pierreay]

I just discovered this plugin, which seems really great! I'm coming from Citar on Emacs by the way.
I saw that it supports Telescope as fuzzy finder. Will it be possible to also support fzf-lua? How hard would it be?
Thank you for the work

Hi! Thanks for your interest! :) It would definitely be nice to support fzf-lua (especially now that lazy switched to it, see #107). I have no idea how difficult that would be, and I'm not sure how soon I'll have time to take a serious stab at it (especially as I'm still a satisfied Telescope user). I would definitely be very happy about PRs though (and of course happy to support anyone writing them).

Just as a reference, todo-comments.nvim supports both telescope and fzf-lua, so we might find some inspiration there: https://github.com/folke/todo-comments.nvim

Thank you for the quick answer! Actually, I'm also a Telescope user currently, but seriously considering the switch to fzf-lua. I never wrote any Neovim plugin, but maybe I could give a try for the support of fzf-lua when I would made the switch... but not before weeks because I do not have enough free time for now ahah.

Yeah, same here. I have been curious about trying fzf-lua, but time is a bit tight at the moment. I've heard it's faster, which might actually be important for papis.nvim. we've struggled to be responsive with large libraries.

Indeed, that might help! I feel the same about fzf-lua vs. telescope when looking at execution speed. Let's keep in touch about this!
