Allow "scrolling" through results in the list.

[rockerBOO]

Right now you are limited to the results in the list.

If I am on vertical I am only showing 8 results by default.

I sometimes use the fuzzy to give me a short list to browse through.

Solutions

Allow us to go up on the list beyond the presented list.

I think limiting the the total results would be fine. 100 total results available for instance. Unless we want to encourage fuzzy browsing which then no limit (high limit) might be good.

You know, until now I didn't realize that you couldn't scroll through the results list...

(I think I'd rather do lazy loading, i.e., if you scroll to the top-most result, retrigger the search with the current typed pattern and cut off at 2*results.height.)

Yes, it's a good idea. It might require a bit of time to think about. I have implemented lines_manager to (potentially) be able to handle this kind of thing at some point in the future.

I think maybe first step would be:

1. make it so that we can have top->down or down->top results sorting. This will require me to find all the places I have ssumptions about lines and sorting spots.
2. then, after doing that, we should be able to do some tricks to just move past the visible area.

I'm starting to use loclist to get tags (from markdown into location) and use it as an outline. This feature is really useful

@tjdevries Where can I find lines_manager? Is it on a particular branch or fork?

Until this feature is built, are the full results accessible programmatically?

Specifically, I'd like to be able to trigger live_grep and send all results (including the ones outside the visible range) to the quickfix list.

@apazzolini you can do exactly that with <C-q>

telescope.nvim/lua/telescope/mappings.lua

Line 29 in f92b9b1

["<C-q>"] = actions.send_to_qflist + actions.open_qflist,
