Question 1

How to install urlview.nvim with lazy.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Add 'axieax/urlview.nvim' to your lazy.nvim plugin specification. It supports lazy loading by the UrlView command, and you can configure options using the setup function in Lua for custom behavior.

Question 2

Urlview.nvim vs telescope-url-viewer, which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Urlview.nvim is more extensible with multi-context search like plugin URLs, while telescope-url-viewer is tighter to Telescope. Choose Urlview if you need custom searchers or broader integration beyond simple buffer URLs.

Question 3

How to make urlview.nvim detect custom URL patterns like Jira tickets?

Accepted Answer

Use the plugin's extensible architecture to register custom searchers. Refer to the documentation at :h urlview.search-custom for examples, which allows adding regex patterns for specific workflows.

Question 4

Does urlview.nvim work with fzf-lua picker?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it supports fzf-lua as an optional picker. Set it as the default_picker in the setup function or use :UrlView <ctx> picker=fzf_lua dynamically, but ensure fzf-lua is installed separately.

Question 5

How to change keybindings for jumping to URLs in buffer?

Accepted Answer

Configure the jump option in the setup function using Lua. The default bindings are [u and ]u, but you can override them as shown in the documentation to match your keymap preferences.

Question 6

Can urlview.nvim open URLs in a specific browser like Firefox?

Accepted Answer

It uses netrw's gx command by default, which relies on system settings. For custom browser actions, you may need to extend the actions or configure your OS's URL handler, as the plugin doesn't natively support browser selection.
