feat(nvim): jump to a unique definition or open the picker - #951
Add require('fff').go_to_definition() to search the active FFF index for declarations that match the word under the cursor: jump directly when the completed search has one match, or open the definition-only picker otherwise. The lookup reuses the existing Rust matcher, stops after two matches, and opens the picker if indexing or the search is incomplete. Default navigation uses the search result's base path without health checks or filesystem root resolution; an explicit cwd selects another directory.
vim.keymap.set('n', '<D-g>', function()
require('fff').go_to_definition()
end, { desc='FFF go to definition' })
-- Optional query and directory:require('fff').go_to_definition({ query='UserFile', cwd='/path/to/project' })
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added a public go_to_definition() API that searches indexed files for declarations matching the cursor word or a supplied query. It jumps directly only when a completed search finds exactly one exact-name match; otherwise, it opens a definition-only picker.
Supports searching another directory and configuring the picker title, layout, and grep options. The API reports whether it jumped directly and searches definitions even when definition classification is disabled.
Documentation
Documented the API’s behavior, return values, and options.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
Adds go_to_definition(opts) to search indexed files for declarations matching the cursor word. It jumps directly to one complete exact-name match. Otherwise, it opens a definition-only picker.

Summary
Grep readiness data crates/fff-nvim/src/lib.rs, crates/fff-nvim/src/lua_types.rs, lua/fff/picker_ui/grep_renderer.lua
Grep results now expose index readiness and the index root.
Definition search and navigation lua/fff/main.lua
Adds M.go_to_definition(opts). It validates options, searches when the active index is ready, jumps to one complete exact-name match, and otherwise opens the definition-only picker.
API validation and documentation tests/go_to_definition_spec.lua, tests/grep_classification_spec.lua, README.md, doc/fff.nvim.txt
Tests cover navigation, fallback, index and root conditions, argument validation, and index readiness. The documentation describes the API and its options.

Treat this as optional cleanup, not a jump-safety issue.
vim.fn.bufadd(path) adds an unloaded, unlisted buffer entry before open_resolved_file. If its :edit fails, the entry can remain. When path is already the current buffer, bufadd() returns the existing buffer, so no new entry is created. The impact is low.

When the first call requests another cwd, the fallback updates config.base_path before the asynchronous index replacement completes. A second call without cwd can accept one unique result from the old index because root is nil. It then opens the old definition.
Compare the result root with the active config.base_path when root is nil. This preserves the documented default behavior when both roots match.
Suggested fix
- and (not root or vim.uv.fs_realpath(result.base_path) == root)+ and vim.uv.fs_realpath(result.base_path) == (root or vim.uv.fs_realpath(config.base_path))

Check the actual declared name.
For function save$internal() {}, query save passes this check because $ is not treated as an identifier byte. The Rust parser treats it as one. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Query fn save also passes for fn save() {} because the matcher requires only overlap with the name. It then jumps to fn. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Compare the query with the declared-name span, or open the picker when the span is uncertain.
