Telescope Themes

An extension for Telescope plugin to switch colorschemes with preview. It will read all your installed themes (in addition to nvim builtin themes)

Installation

1. Plugins config file

Using packer.nvim or lazy.nvim

use {
	'andrew-george/telescope-themes',
	config = function()
		require('telescope').load_extension('themes')
	end
}

2. As a dependancy in telescope config file (example in lazy.nvim)

{
    'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim',
    cmd = 'Telescope',
    lazy = true,
    dependencies = {
		'andrew-george/telescope-themes',
		-- your other dependencies
    },
    config = function()
	    -- load extension
	    local telescope = require('telescope')
	    telescope.load_extension('themes')
    end
},

Usage

:Telescope themes

or map it to a key

vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>th", ":Telescope themes<CR>", {noremap = true, silent = true, desc = "Theme Switcher"})

IMPORTANT

As the extension is writing the colorscheme command in your config, and neovim configs are very indvidual and unique, I wouldn't be able to predict which part to manipulate, so the extension creates a file named current-theme.lua will be generated in root of /lua directory, it contains the command responsible for persisting latest theme selection, and it's overwritten by the extension on every new selection.

Now you have to require current-theme.lua in your init.lua

Credits

• It is inspired by NvChad's theme switcher, but written to work with any configuration. Now you have to require current-theme.lua at the end of your init.lua to apply that theme on every startup.
