multiple selection

[atanasj]

Hi,

Thanks for a great resource in this package. I'm wondering, is it possible to add multiple entries via the tab selection feature found in telescope?

It might be obvious if this is already implemented, but it's not obvious to me!

Currently this is not supported. I overwrite the enter-action to do the insertion, so the same would have to be done for multiple selections. Not too complicated, afaik. If you want to implement this, feel free to open a PR, otherwise it goes onto my todo list, but I do not have much time atm, so it could take a bit.

I'd love to help, but this would but way over my head! Unless you can point me towards some resources that I could help me understand how to start hacking into it… I hope to see the feature soon. Thanks : )

Sorry for the delay, here is something to get started telescope docs (see how I do it in line 164).
Currently multi-selection actions are not implemented in telescope, afaik. But somebody posted a workaround here. This seems promising to get the selections.
I will have a look at this as soon as I have more time. Until then feel free to experiment yourself :)

No worries, thanks for that. I am bit pressed for time too at the moment, but it definitely looks promising!

At some point Multi-select actions will come to telescope core. shouldnt be implemented here.
