How to change the color of the filename in grep_project (with rg)

[skamsie]

I am trying to change the color of the filename for the grep_project command. It is currently violet, see screenshot below. I have fiddled with all the FzfLua... highlight groups I could find and with the fzf_colors = {... but nothing seems to affect it. I then thought it's set by rg itself, but if I run the command in the terminal it's a different color (pink), so something in nvim must set it to violet...

That’s the color output from rg.

If you use a formatted fzf-lua will strip the ansi highlight and can apply a new one, for example:

:FzfLua grep_project formatter=path.dirname_first hls.file_part=Error hls.dir_part=Direcrory

Thanks, this works! Do you know what would be the syntax to add the colors somewhere in the config? This is how it currently looks:

-- Improved fzf.vim written in lua
return {
  "ibhagwan/fzf-lua",
  config = function()
    local function set_fzf_keymap(key, func)
      vim.keymap.set(
        'n', '<leader>' .. key,
        function()
          require('fzf-lua')[func]()
        end,
        { noremap = true, silent = true }
      )
    end

    set_fzf_keymap('f', 'files')
    set_fzf_keymap('a', 'grep_project')
    set_fzf_keymap('h', 'oldfiles')
    set_fzf_keymap('b', 'buffers')

    -- calling `setup` is optional for customization
    local actions = require 'fzf-lua.actions'
    require("fzf-lua").setup(
      {
        winopts = {
          row = 0.5,
          col = 0.5,
          width = 0.8,
          height = 0.8,
          border = 'single',
          prompt = 'B',
          backdrop = 100
        },
        fzf_opts = { ['--layout'] = 'default' },
        defaults = { file_icons = false },
        files = {
          winopts = { preview = { delay = 10 } }
        },
        oldfiles = {
          winopts = { preview = { delay = 10 } }
        },
        grep = {
          actions = {
            ['ctrl-g'] =  actions.toggle_ignore,
          }
        }
      }
    )
  end
}

Add it either under grep or under defaults (if you want it to apply to all pickers):

 grep = {
    formatter = 'path.dirname_first',
    hls = {
      dir_part = 'Directory',
      file_part = …
    }
 }

thank you! One follow-up question though... based on your example and the documentation I tried to also change the color of the linenumber which I assumed would be path_linenr but it had no effect (still green). Is there another name for that one?

hls = {
  dir_part = 'Normal',
  file_part = 'Normal',
  path_linenr = 'Normal',
  cursorlinenr = 'Normal'
}

These might need to be setup globally (not under defaults), alternatively you can link the FzfLuaDirPart as explained here:

I tried, but unfortunately neither had any effect. Maybe a bug?

    require("fzf-lua").setup(
    {
      hls = {
        dir_part = 'Normal',
        file_part = 'Normal',
        path_linenr = 'Normal',
        cursorlinenr = 'Normal'
      },

        path_linenr = 'Normal',
        cursorlinenr = 'Normal'
      },

It works in the command I originally posted but not with setup?
When you say if doesn’t work what do you mean? Is it still colored?
Where did you add the formatter part (should be either in the command or under defaults)?
