Locate hidden paths via Telescope

[makuche]

Adding the following lua script as .nvim.lua to a projects root folder

-- Save this as .nvim.lua
local ok, telescope = pcall(require, "telescope.builtin")
if not ok then
	return
end

vim.api.nvim_create_user_command("TelescopeHidden", function()
	telescope.find_files({
		hidden = true,
		search_dirs = { "." },
		file_ignore_patterns = { "^.git/" },
	})
end, {})

vim.api.nvim_create_user_command("TelescopeHiddenGrep", function()
	telescope.live_grep({
		hidden = true,
		additional_args = function()
			return { "--hidden" }
		end,
		file_ignore_patterns = { "^.git/" },
	})
end, {})

vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<leader>sf", ":TelescopeHidden<CR>", { noremap = true, silent = true })
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<leader>sg", ":TelescopeHiddenGrep<CR>", { noremap = true, silent = true })

makes it possible to overwrite the standard settings and search files/folders in hidden locations. Add this script as template in a location.

In addition, the following option needs to be set to enable the usage of local config files for nvim:

vim.opt.exrc = true

This option should then be placed in nvim/lua/options.lua
