1. Trouble                                              *trouble.nvim-trouble*

A pretty list for showing diagnostics, references, telescope results, quickfix
and location lists to help you solve all the trouble your code is causing.


FEATURES                                       *trouble.nvim-trouble-features*

- Diagnostics
- LSP references
- LSP implementations
- LSP definitions
- LSP type definitions
- LSP Document Symbols
- LSP Incoming/Outgoing calls
- quickfix list
- location list
- Telescope <https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim> search results
- fzf-lua <https://github.com/ibhagwan/fzf-lua> results


WHAT’S NEW?                             *trouble.nvim-trouble-what’s-new?*

This is a full rewrite of the original **trouble.nvim**.

The new version is much more flexible and powerful, with a lot of new features
and improvements:

- multiple trouble windows at the same time
- LSP document symbols
- LSP incoming/outgoing calls
- lots of options to configure trouble windows (floats or splits)
- `focus` option to focus the trouble window when opened (or not)
- `follow` option to follow the item under the cursor
- `pinned` option to pin the buffer as the source for the opened trouble window
- full tree views of anything
- highly configurable views with custom formatters, filters, and sorters
- show multiple sections in the same view
- multi-line messages
- prettier and configurable indent guides
- tree view that follows the natural hierarchy of the items (like document symbols, or file structure)
- expansive API and `Trouble` command
- trouble `modes` to define custom views
- statusline component (useful with document symbols)


REQUIREMENTS                               *trouble.nvim-trouble-requirements*

- Neovim >= 0.9.2
- Neovim >= 0.10.0 **OR** the `markdown` and `markdown_inline` nvim-treesitter <https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter> parsers
- Properly configured Neovim LSP client
- nvim-web-devicons <https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons> is optional to enable file icons
- a theme with properly configured highlight groups for Neovim Diagnostics
- a patched font <https://www.nerdfonts.com/> for the default severity and fold icons

USAGE                                             *trouble.nvim-trouble-usage*


COMMANDS ~

The **Trouble** command is a wrapper around the **Trouble** API. It can do
anything the regular API can do.

- `Trouble [mode] [action] [options]`

Some examples:

- Toggle diagnostics for the current buffer and stay in the current window:
    - `Trouble diagnostics toggle focus=false filter.buf=0`
- Show document symbols on the right of the current window.
    Keep the document symbols in sync with the buffer you started the command in.
    - `Trouble symbols toggle pinned=true win.relative=win win.position=right`
- You can use **lua** code in the options for the `Trouble` command.
    The examples below all do the same thing.
    - `Trouble diagnostics filter.severity=vim.diagnostic.severity.ERROR`
    - `Trouble diagnostics filter.severity = vim.diagnostic.severity.ERROR`
    - `Trouble diagnostics filter = { severity=vim.diagnostic.severity.ERROR }`
- Merging of nested options, with or without quoting strings:
    - `Trouble diagnostics win.type = split win.position=right`
    - `Trouble diagnostics win = { type = split, position=right}`
    - `Trouble diagnostics win = { type = "split", position='right'}`

Please refer to the API section for more information on the available actions
and options.

Modes:

- **diagnostics**diagnostics
- **fzf**FzfLua results previously opened with `require('trouble.sources.fzf').open()`.
- **fzf_files**FzfLua results previously opened with `require('trouble.sources.fzf').open()`.
- **loclist**Location List

TELESCOPE ~

You can easily open any search results in **Trouble**, by defining a custom
action:

>lua
    local actions = require("telescope.actions")
    local open_with_trouble = require("trouble.sources.telescope").open
    
    -- Use this to add more results without clearing the trouble list
    local add_to_trouble = require("trouble.sources.telescope").add
    
    local telescope = require("telescope")
    
    telescope.setup({
      defaults = {
        mappings = {
          i = { ["<c-t>"] = open_with_trouble },
          n = { ["<c-t>"] = open_with_trouble },
        },
      },
    })
<

When you open telescope, you can now hit `<c-t>` to open the results in
**Trouble**


FZF-LUA ~

You can easily open any search results in **Trouble**, by defining a custom
action:

>lua
    local config = require("fzf-lua.config")
    local actions = require("trouble.sources.fzf").actions
    config.defaults.actions.files["ctrl-t"] = actions.open
<

When you open fzf-lua, you can now hit `<c-t>` to open the results in
**Trouble**


STATUSLINE COMPONENT ~

Example for lualine.nvim <https://github.com/nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim>

>lua
    {
      "nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim",
      opts = function(_, opts)
        local trouble = require("trouble")
        local symbols = trouble.statusline({
          mode = "lsp_document_symbols",
          groups = {},
          title = false,
          filter = { range = true },
          format = "{kind_icon}{symbol.name:Normal}",
          -- The following line is needed to fix the background color
          -- Set it to the lualine section you want to use
          hl_group = "lualine_c_normal",
        })
        table.insert(opts.sections.lualine_c, {
          symbols.get,
          cond = symbols.has,
        })
      end,
    }
