Owner

Closes #708 — emits User FFFOpen/User FFFClose from the single open and close funnels so users can hook picker lifecycle (e.g. dimming the screen).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added FFFOpen and FFFClose autocmd events to detect when the picker opens and closes.
  • Documentation
    • Documented the new autocmd events with an example for toggling showtabline based on picker state.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The picker now emits FFFOpen and FFFClose User autocmds at lifecycle boundaries. The README documents callbacks for these events.

Changes

Picker lifecycle autocmds

Layer / File(s) Summary
Lifecycle events and documentation
lua/fff/picker_ui/picker_ui.lua, lua/fff/picker_ui/layout_manager.lua, README.md
open_ui_with_state emits FFFOpen after scan monitoring starts. M.close() emits FFFClose after cleanup. The README documents callbacks for both events.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 43dff

The lifecycle example can overwrite a user's custom tabline setting when the picker closes. This is a bounded configuration regression and should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merge.

winblend is reset on the picker window rather than whichever window is current

Fix the FFFClose target.

FFFOpen runs with the input picker window current. FFFClose runs after all picker windows close, so vim.o.winblend = 0 changes the remaining current window, not the picker. Emit the event before teardown or pass a live window ID and use nvim_set_option_value(..., { win = id }).

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restore the previous showtabline value.

Line 287 always sets vim.o.showtabline to 2 on FFFClose. This overwrites users who configured 1 or 0. Save the value on FFFOpen, then restore it on FFFClose.
