I think this is because snacks picker has the truly puzzling default behavior of not opening the result in the window you just came from if that window is not a normal file. You can get around this by setting the option I'm happy to merge this anyway, though. Because of the weird defaults I'm sure other users will hit this, so it's good to be proactive. Thanks for the PR! |

An absolute delight in my day, was discovering
require("aerial").snacks_picker(). Previously I'd used<cmd>AerialToggle float<CR>and whilst it was convenient, it took too many keystrokes to navigate to where I wanted to get to.I started using Aerial and Snacks with CodeCompanion in order to navigate between H2 headers and I noticed that when selecting a symbol, I hit a position error and then when I reopened the CodeCompanion buffer (which circumvents the error it seems) and selected a symbol, the cursor moved to that symbol but in another window:
with error:
2025-12-09.23_14_54.-.Ghostty.mp4
This PR adds a
confirmaction to the Snacks picker which uses aerial's navigation module to determine where to move to:without error:
2025-12-09.23_13_47.-.Ghostty.mp4
I haven't investigated further but it seemed that because CodeCompanion buffers are of the scratch variety and
buftype=nofile, that interfered with something.
