A pretty list for showing diagnostics, references, telescope results, quickfix and location lists to help you solve all the trouble your code is causing.
- Diagnostics
- LSP references
- LSP implementations
- LSP definitions
- LSP type definitions
- LSP Document Symbols
- LSP Incoming/Outgoing calls
- quickfix list
- location list
- Telescope search results
- fzf-lua results
This is a full rewrite of the original trouble.nvim.
The new version is much more flexible and powerful, with a lot of new features and improvements:
- multiple trouble windows at the same time
- LSP document symbols
- LSP incoming/outgoing calls
- lots of options to configure trouble windows (floats or splits)
focus
option to focus the trouble window when opened (or not)follow
option to follow the item under the cursorpinned
option to pin the buffer as the source for the opened trouble window- full tree views of anything
- highly configurable views with custom formatters, filters, and sorters
- show multiple sections in the same view
- multi-line messages
- prettier and configurable indent guides
- tree view that follows the natural hierarchy of the items (like document symbols, or file structure)
- expansive API and
Trouble
command - trouble
modes
to define custom views - statusline component (useful with document symbols)
- Neovim >= 0.9.2
- Neovim >= 0.10.0 OR the
markdown
andmarkdown_inline
nvim-treesitter parsers - Properly configured Neovim LSP client
- nvim-web-devicons is optional to enable file icons
- a theme with properly configured highlight groups for Neovim Diagnostics
- a patched font for the default severity and fold icons
Install the plugin with your preferred package manager:
{
"folke/trouble.nvim",
opts = {}, -- for default options, refer to the configuration section for custom setup.
cmd = "Trouble",
keys = {
{
"<leader>xx",
"<cmd>Trouble diagnostics toggle<cr>",

Make sure to check the Examples!
The Trouble command is a wrapper around the Trouble API. It can do anything the regular API can do.
Trouble [mode] [action] [options]
Some examples:
- Toggle diagnostics for the current buffer and stay in the current window:
Trouble diagnostics toggle focus=false filter.buf=0
- Show document symbols on the right of the current window.
Keep the document symbols in sync with the buffer you started the command in.
Trouble symbols toggle pinned=true results.win.relative=win results.win.position=right
- You can use lua code in the options for the
Trouble
command. The examples below all do the same thing.Trouble diagnostics filter.severity=vim.diagnostic.severity.ERROR
Trouble diagnostics filter.severity = vim.diagnostic.severity.ERROR
Trouble diagnostics filter = { severity=vim.diagnostic.severity.ERROR }
- Merging of nested options, with or without quoting strings:
Trouble diagnostics results.win.type = split result.win.position=right
Trouble diagnostics results.win = { type = split, position=right}
Trouble diagnostics results.win = { type = "split", position='right'}
Please refer to the API section for more information on the available actions and options.

You can easily open any search results in Trouble, by defining a custom action:
local actions = require("telescope.actions")
local open_with_trouble = require("trouble.sources.telescope").open
-- Use this to add more results without clearing the trouble list
local add_to_trouble = require("trouble.sources.telescope").add
local telescope = require("telescope")
telescope.setup({
defaults = {
mappings = {
i = { ["<c-t>"] = open_with_trouble },
n = { ["<c-t>"] = open_with_trouble },
},
},
})
When you open telescope, you can now hit <c-t>
to open the results in Trouble
You can easily open any search results in Trouble, by defining a custom action:
local config = require("fzf-lua.config")
local actions = require("trouble.sources.fzf").actions
config.defaults.actions.files["ctrl-t"] = actions.open
When you open fzf-lua, you can now hit <c-t>
to open the results in Trouble
Example for lualine.nvim:
{
"nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim",
opts = function(_, opts)
local trouble = require("trouble")
local symbols = trouble.statusline({
mode = "lsp_document_symbols",
groups = {},
title = false,
filter = { range = true },
format = "{kind_icon}{symbol.name:Normal}",
-- The following line is needed to fix the background color
-- Set it to the lualine section you want to use
hl_group = "lualine_c_normal",
})
table.insert(opts.sections.lualine_c, {
symbols.get,
cond = symbols.has,
})
end,
}
