Question 1

How to install telescope-undo.nvim with lazy.nvim?

Accepted Answer

The README provides two methods: as part of a Telescope spec or as a standalone plugin. For standalone, add it as a dependency with Telescope and plenary.nvim, then configure in opts with require('telescope').setup and load_extension.

Question 2

Can I use telescope-undo.nvim without delta?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by setting use_delta to false in the config, it falls back to a plain diff with treesitter highlights, as mentioned in the configuration section. This avoids external dependencies but loses enhanced diff features.

Question 3

What are the default keybindings for telescope-undo.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Default mappings include to yank additions, or for deletions, and or to restore in insert mode, with similar keys in normal mode, as detailed in the mappings examples.

Question 4

How does telescope-undo.nvim compare to undotree?

Accepted Answer

Unlike undotree, which is a standalone Vim plugin, telescope-undo.nvim integrates with Telescope for fuzzy search and a consistent UI, offering more interactive exploration but requiring Telescope setup and adding dependencies.

Question 5

Is telescope-undo.nvim compatible with Vim?

Accepted Answer

No, it's specifically for Neovim, as it uses Neovim-specific Lua APIs and features like Telescope extensions, making it incompatible with standard Vim or other editors.

Question 6

How to customize the diff view in telescope-undo.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Use vim_diff_opts to set context length based on scrolloff, and if using delta, configure side_by_side and layout settings like layout_strategy for better previews, as shown in the personal recommendation example.

Question 7

Does telescope-undo.nvim only show saved undo states?

Accepted Answer

By default, it shows all undo states, but you can set saved_only to true in the config to limit it to states saved to disk, useful for filtering transient changes.
