Use Ivy as the interface to select from xref candidates.

The preferred way to install ivy-xref is via MELPA - then you can just M-x package-install RET ivy-xref RET

To enable then simply add the following to your init file:

(require 'ivy-xref)
(setq xref-show-xrefs-function #'ivy-xref-show-xrefs)

We recommend to use use-package to make this automatic:

(use-package ivy-xref
  :ensure t
  :init (setq xref-show-xrefs-function #'ivy-xref-show-xrefs))

If you would like to install the package manually, download or clone it and place within Emacs' load-path, then enable as above.
