LSP maybe portable with it’s config if the LSP themselves are independent. Checkout Mason which seems to make it easier to bundle neovim and “portable” LSP. There was another project similar to Mason with some more features, but I forgot it’s name. So search around to see if that fits your requirements.

For me, it works as well on nightly without any modifications as it did when the archival announcement was made. But I only use formatters and one or two linters. So can’t confirm for other features.

That said, I am thinking about changing to conform.nivm for formatting.

The notice on packer suggested to use either lazy or pckr

NOTICE:

This repository is currently unmaintained. For the time being (as of August, 2023), it is recommended to use one of the following plugin managers instead:

lazy.nvim: Most stable and maintained plugin manager for Nvim.

pckr.nvim: Spiritual successor of packer.nvim. Functional but not as stable as lazy.nvim.

Considering null-ls still works on nightly, it should be fine.

There is also this official extension. IIRC, this also makes sure that all the meta owned sites are not able to interact with other sites, but can work fine with each other. It also makes sure that any links leading to their sites also only open in the container, maybe also sanitized to remove the tracker from original link. The last part I am not sure, as I might be confusing it with a different extension. But if you are using any of the Meta sites, I would recommend it.

Sorry, I missed the previous message. Glad you got it working with the help of @rewire@programming.dev.

Regarding the massive list, yeah that is expected. If you haven’t got fd or rg installed in you system, telescope falls back to regular find. Find doesn’t have any sort of builtin ignore list, so it just lists all the files. If you are using the builtin.find_files normally, I think it executes (at least something close to)

find -not -path "*/.*" -type f

With the hidden=true, it does something along the lines of

find . -type f

Both of these commands are executed from the cwd (normally the directory you started nvim in). If you want it only show to a certain depth, you can use the telescope’s setup to change the default find_command

telescope.setup({
  pickers = {
    find_files = {
      find_command = { "find", "-maxdepth", "3", ".", "-type", "f"},
    },
  },
}

Modify that to your requirement and then use the keymap to call builtin.find_files() and it should work.

If you have fd installed, telescope uses it’s settings including ignore files (including .ignore and .gitignore etc). So if have the default settings for fd to show hidden files, telescope will respect that.

Otherwise, if you want to have hidden files only in telescope without changing the default behavior of fd , when using your key binding, change it as follows:

vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>ff",  function() builtin.find_files({hidden=true}) end, {})

Edit: Change to keybind format Edit2: Wrap builtin in function call
