Wayfinder.nvim guided code exploration from the current symbol

Been working on a Neovim plugin called Wayfinder and it finally got to the point where I’m actually enjoying it in my own workflow.

The idea is pretty simple:

Start on the symbol under your cursor, then open a centered picker that shows the most relevant nearby things, like:

  • definitions
  • callers
  • references
  • likely tests
  • recent commits

It’s not trying to replace Telescope or grep. For me it feels more like a faster, more guided way to move through code when I already know what I’m on and want to explore around it.

One of the things I wanted most was being able to keep a trail while exploring, instead of doing the usual jump / back / grep / jump / forget where I was loop.

Appreciate any feedback or questions.
