 },
}

⚙️ Configuration

Setup

Trouble comes with the following defaults:

{
    position = "bottom", -- position of the list can be: bottom, top, left, right
    height = 10, -- height of the trouble list when position is top or bottom
    width = 50, -- width of the list when position is left or right
    icons = true, -- use devicons for filenames
    mode = "workspace_diagnostics", -- "workspace_diagnostics", "document_diagnostics", "quickfix", "lsp_references", "loclist"
    severity = nil, -- nil (ALL) or vim.diagnostic.severity.ERROR | WARN | INFO | HINT
    fold_open = "", -- icon used for open folds
    fold_closed = "", -- icon used for closed folds
    group = true, -- group results by file
    padding = true, -- add an extra new line on top of the list
    cycle_results = true, -- cycle item list when reaching beginning or end of list
    action_keys = { -- key mappings for actions in the trouble list
        -- map to {} to remove a mapping, for example:
        -- close = {},
        close = "q", -- close the list
        cancel = "<esc>", -- cancel the preview and get back to your last window / buffer / cursor
        refresh = "r", -- manually refresh
        jump = { "<cr>", "<tab>", "<2-leftmouse>" }, -- jump to the diagnostic or open / close folds
        open_split = { "<c-x>" }, -- open buffer in new split
        open_vsplit = { "<c-v>" }, -- open buffer in new vsplit
        open_tab = { "<c-t>" }, -- open buffer in new tab
        jump_close = {"o"}, -- jump to the diagnostic and close the list
        toggle_mode = "m", -- toggle between "workspace" and "document" diagnostics mode
        switch_severity = "s", -- switch "diagnostics" severity filter level to HINT / INFO / WARN / ERROR
        toggle_preview = "P", -- toggle auto_preview
        hover = "K", -- opens a small popup with the full multiline message
        preview = "p", -- preview the diagnostic location
        open_code_href = "c", -- if present, open a URI with more information about the diagnostic error
        close_folds = {"zM", "zm"}, -- close all folds
        open_folds = {"zR", "zr"}, -- open all folds
        toggle_fold = {"zA", "za"}, -- toggle fold of current file
        previous = "k", -- previous item
        next = "j" -- next item
        help = "?" -- help menu
    },
    multiline = true, -- render multi-line messages
    indent_lines = true, -- add an indent guide below the fold icons
    win_config = { border = "single" }, -- window configuration for floating windows. See |nvim_open_win()|.
    auto_open = false, -- automatically open the list when you have diagnostics
    auto_close = false, -- automatically close the list when you have no diagnostics
    auto_preview = true, -- automatically preview the location of the diagnostic. <esc> to close preview and go back to last window
    auto_fold = false, -- automatically fold a file trouble list at creation
    auto_jump = {"lsp_definitions"}, -- for the given modes, automatically jump if there is only a single result
    include_declaration = { "lsp_references", "lsp_implementations", "lsp_definitions"  }, -- for the given modes, include the declaration of the current symbol in the results
    signs = {
      -- icons / text used for a diagnostic
      error = "",
      warning = "",
      hint = "",
      information = "",
      other = "",
    },
    use_diagnostic_signs = false -- enabling this will use the signs defined in your lsp client
}

💡 if you don't want to use icons or a patched font, you can use the settings below

-- settings without a patched font or icons
{
    icons = false,
    fold_open = "v", -- icon used for open folds
    fold_closed = ">", -- icon used for closed folds
    indent_lines = false, -- add an indent guide below the fold icons
    signs = {
        -- icons / text used for a diagnostic
        error = "error",
        warning = "warn",
        hint = "hint",
        information = "info"
    },
    use_diagnostic_signs = false -- enabling this will use the signs defined in your lsp client
}

TroubleToggle [mode]: toggle the list
TroubleRefresh: manually refresh the active list

Modes:

document_diagnostics: document diagnostics from the builtin LSP client
workspace_diagnostics: workspace diagnostics from the builtin LSP client
lsp_references: references of the word under the cursor from the builtin LSP client
lsp_definitions: definitions of the word under the cursor from the builtin LSP client

lsp_type_definitions: type definitions of the word under the cursor from the builtin LSP client

quickfix: quickfix items
loclist: items from the window's location list

Example keybindings:

" Vim Script
nnoremap <leader>xx <cmd>TroubleToggle<cr>
nnoremap <leader>xw <cmd>TroubleToggle workspace_diagnostics<cr>
nnoremap <leader>xd <cmd>TroubleToggle document_diagnostics<cr>
nnoremap <leader>xq <cmd>TroubleToggle quickfix<cr>
nnoremap <leader>xl <cmd>TroubleToggle loclist<cr>
nnoremap gR <cmd>TroubleToggle lsp_references<cr>

-- Lua
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>xx", function() require("trouble").toggle() end)
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>xw", function() require("trouble").toggle("workspace_diagnostics") end)
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>xd", function() require("trouble").toggle("document_diagnostics") end)
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>xq", function() require("trouble").toggle("quickfix") end)
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>xl", function() require("trouble").toggle("loclist") end)
vim.keymap.set("n", "gR", function() require("trouble").toggle("lsp_references") end)

API

You can use the following functions in your keybindings:

-- toggle trouble with optional mode
require("trouble").toggle(mode?)

-- open trouble with optional mode
require("trouble").open(mode?)

-- close trouble
require("trouble").close()

-- jump to the next item, skipping the groups
require("trouble").next({skip_groups = true, jump = true});

-- jump to the previous item, skipping the groups
require("trouble").previous({skip_groups = true, jump = true});

-- jump to the first item, skipping the groups
require("trouble").first({skip_groups = true, jump = true});

-- jump to the last item, skipping the groups
require("trouble").last({skip_groups = true, jump = true});

Telescope

You can easily open any search results in Trouble, by defining a custom action:

local actions = require("telescope.actions")
local trouble = require("trouble.providers.telescope")

local telescope = require("telescope")

telescope.setup {
  defaults = {
    mappings = {
      i = { ["<c-t>"] = trouble.open_with_trouble },
      n = { ["<c-t>"] = trouble.open_with_trouble },
    },
  },
}

When you open telescope, you can now hit <c-t> to open the results in Trouble
