Question 1

How to install nvim-pqf with lazy.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Add the plugin to your lazy.nvim spec and include `require('pqf').setup()` in your config. The README shows vim-plug examples, but lazy.nvim follows similar patterns for plugin management and initialization.

Question 2

nvim-pqf vs vim-qf: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

nvim-pqf focuses on visual formatting and readability enhancements for quickfix windows, while vim-qf offers more functional features like preserving lists and navigation aids. Choose based on whether you prioritize aesthetics or extended functionality.

Question 3

How to customize the signs in nvim-pqf?

Accepted Answer

Modify the signs table in the setup configuration, e.g., change `error = { text = 'E', hl = 'DiagnosticSignError' }` to use different text or highlight groups. This allows full control over the visual indicators for each item type.

Question 4

Does nvim-pqf slow down NeoVim when opening quickfix windows?

Accepted Answer

Since it primarily adjusts formatting and syntax, performance impact is minimal for most users. However, on very large quickfix lists, the custom text function might add slight overhead, though this is rarely noticeable in practice.

Question 5

How to show all lines for multi-line messages in nvim-pqf?

Accepted Answer

Set `show_multiple_lines = true` in the setup configuration. By default, it's false to keep the interface clean, but enabling it will display the full content of each entry, separated by spaces.

Question 6

Why are my nvim-pqf highlights not matching my theme?

Accepted Answer

Check if your theme defines the required highlight groups like `Directory` or `Number`. You may need to tweak these groups in your NeoVim config, as nvim-pqf relies on them for consistent coloring, as detailed in the README's highlights section.
