✨ Features

  • Diagnostics
  • LSP references
  • LSP implementations
  • LSP definitions
  • LSP type definitions
  • LSP Document Symbols
  • LSP Incoming/Outgoing calls
  • quickfix list
  • location list
  • Telescope search results
  • fzf-lua results

📰 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

  • Neovim >= 0.9.2
  • Neovim >= 0.10.0 OR the markdown and markdown_inline nvim-treesitter parsers
  • Properly configured Neovim LSP client
  • nvim-web-devicons is optional to enable file icons
  • a theme with properly configured highlight groups for Neovim Diagnostics
  • a patched font for the default severity and fold icons

📦 Installation

Install the plugin with your preferred package manager:

lazy.nvim

{
  "folke/trouble.nvim",
  opts = {}, -- for default options, refer to the configuration section for custom setup.
  cmd = "Trouble",
  keys = {
    {
      "<leader>xx",
      "<cmd>Trouble diagnostics toggle<cr>",
      desc = "Diagnostics (Trouble)",
    },
    {
      "<leader>xX",
      "<cmd>Trouble diagnostics toggle filter.buf=0<cr>",
      desc = "Buffer Diagnostics (Trouble)",
    },
    {
