How can I insert path using complete_path in cmdline

[jellli]

I have this keymap, but I doesn't work like i expected

	keymap({ "c", "i" }, "<c-x><c-f>", "<cmd>FzfLua complete_path<cr>")

It would be helpful to have more info, “not what I expected” is too vague to solve.

Thanks for replying so quickly, I can hardly describe it, so I will attach a video

The completion window didn't appear after I press key binding untill I trigger any another key, and the window is no focused when it show up

It seems like you’re invoking the path complete from the command line mode?
This is not supported, it only works for insert/normal mode on a neovim buffer - it can t modify the command line

I was tring to use vim-fugitive command with path completion, It would be great to supported this feature. It is possible to be implemented? If yes, would you accept this pr? I'm happy to give it a try

I just realize there is a notify to remind me that is impossible

The command-line window is not a normal window. It is not possible to move to
another window or edit another buffer. All commands that would do this are
disabled in the command-line window. Of course it is possible to execute
any command that you entered in the command-line window. Other text edits are
discarded when closing the window.

command-line window is not a normal window

command-line window is not cmdline mode. It's a manually placed (in c) special window that's used for compeltion, it have many limitation so yes...

To make picker work in cmdline mode first, technically it's possible to: save cmdline mode/content into ctx.lua -> leave cmdline first before we create picker window -> back to cmdline mode -> resume cmdline content

Basically that's how completion work in insert mode...

Created a draft #2678

vim.keymap.set("c", "<c-x><c-f>", function()
	vim.schedule_wrap(require("fzf-lua").fzf_exec)("fd", {
		complete = function(selected)
			return selected[1]
		end,
	})
end)

oh, that's why I didn't get the notification when I try to invoke path completion in cmdline mode, thanks for bring this
