Customize FileSearchEverywhereContributor

Answered

Hi,

I added the extension but I couldn't hook into the files search. My extension code only gets triggered when "searching everywhere"

This is just test code to get me going, I didn't figure out what I'm missing. Is there a sample code I can follow?

Thank you

> into the files search

Please explain, what do you want to achieve exactly in your plugin?

Thank you for your reply

My plugin "renames" some files in a SvelteKit project by changing their representation data

I use these extension points to achieve that

I was wondering how to make those "files" searchable also using the "Navigation > Files..." feature

Is creating a virtual file system a better approach to my use case?

Thank you

I think I will have some luck with gotoFileContributor

I will give it a try and see how it goes

Yes, `gotoFileContributor` EP should work here. You can also use com.intellij.openapi.fileEditor.impl.EditorTabTitleProvider EP to customize editor tab title/tooltip.
