In the default provided telescope extension, the file picker can have some visual glitches and issues when displaying long file names. Telescope provides some configuration options for handling displaying long file names, including an option to set
path_display = {"truncate"}
to right align long file names, so you can see the actual file instead of the preceding directories. More info on this telescope feature here: nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim#895This fix respects the users choice of display option, and fixes some visual issues I was seeing when using
:Telescope harpoon marks
. Some questions I have about improving the implementation:Hope this is helpful!
