Use `telescope` instead of `netrw` when opening directories

[sylvorg]

Hello!

I can't seem to figure out how to use telescope to open directories when passing a directory to neovim from the command line. This is my current config for telescope:

{ config, ... }: {
  programs.nvf.settings.vim.telescope = {
    enable = true;
    extensions = [
      {
        name = "devicons";
        packages = [ nvim-web-devicons ];
      }
      {
        name = "fzf";
        packages = [ telescope-fzf-native-nvim ];
        setup.fzf.fuzzy = true;
      }
      {
        name = "file-browser";
        packages = [ telescope-file-browser-nvim ];
        setup.file_browser.hijack_netrw = true;
      }
      {
        name = "persisted";
        packages = [ persisted-nvim ];
        setup.layout_config = {
          width = 0.55;
          height = 0.55;
        };
      }
    ];
  };
}

Thank you kindly for the help!

telescope is lazy-loaded so it can't hijack netrw until you do something that triggers it (see https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-file-browser.nvim/issues/413)

A workaround is feasible with an autocmd like in neo-tree

feel free to open a PR if you figure out how to do it

Hmm... Can I just copy and paste the neo-tree solution to the pluginRC for telescope, replacing parts of the config as required? Are there any apparent downsides to that I should be wary of?

it should work I think. Give it a try and see if it works
