Send all items from mini.pick to quickfix with a mapping

[tthkbw]

I see how to mark items in a mini.pick window and how to send those marked items to the quickfix list. What I want to do is map both functions to one key.

For example, instead of having to use to mark all items and then to send them to the quickfix list, I want to map to do both operations. I suspect I need to create a lua function that does that and map it, but I am a lua novice.

How do I do that?

Although "mark all + choose marked" is quite a common use case, the assumption during development was that it is better to be left to atomic operations. Plus creating custom action is relatively straightforward (compared to some other customizations): either emulate pressing those two keys or use a combination of get_picker_matches() (to get matched items) and get_picker_opts() (to get picker's choose_marked function and execute it). Here is an example of the first one:

local choose_all = function()
  local mappings = MiniPick.get_picker_opts().mappings
  vim.api.nvim_input(mappings.mark_all .. mappings.choose_marked)
end
require('mini.pick').setup({
  mappings = {
    choose_all = { char = '<C-q>', func = choose_all },
  },
})

This is perfect--thanks.

I figured it could be done easily but had no idea how to write the function.

Now I can more easily make use of mini.pick to replace Telescope.
