Close dashboard upon selecting file from :Telescope find_files

[a-clean-kitchen]

Does anyone have a sane way to go to a file from telescope that automatically closes the dashboard and drops me in my new buffer (with the file I've picked) or am I not experiencing normal Dashboard behavior?

Desired flow:

• I open nvim in project root
• Nvim opens with my fancy new dashboard
• From here, I hit my keybind for :Telescope find_files
• I find my file and hit <CR> to go to it (as I normally would from literally any other buffer)
• Dashboard disappears and I have my desired file open in front of me

I build my nvim config using nix/nixvim, but this is all of my dashboard config:

        require('snacks').dashboard(
          {
            sections = {
              { section = "header" },
            },
          }
        )

Any and all help would be appreciated!

P.S. I have gone through other discussions/issues for the better part of an hour and half now to no success, so i'm sorry if I've missed someone's post that solves this exact issue 🙏 😭

Okay your solution appears to work, however I'm also gonna leave here a Nixvim-specific config that I have gotten to work since Nixvim's folke/lazy compatibility is a little fidgety at the moment:

# config/lazy.nix
{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:
{
  config = {
    extraConfigLuaPost = ''
      vim.go.loadplugins = true
    '';
    plugins = {
      # Explicitly disabling lz-n for good luck
      lz-n.enable = false;
      lazy = {
        enable = true;
        settings = {
          performance = {
            # Nixvim manages plugins via packpath; lazy.nvim must not reset it
            reset_packpath = false;
            rtp = {
              reset = false;
            };
          };
        };
      };
    };
  };
}
============================================================================================
# config/snacks.nix
{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:
{
  config = {
    plugins.lazy.plugins = [
      {
        pkg = config.plugins.snacks.package;
        name = "snacks";
        opts = {
          dashboard = {
            enabled = true;
          };
        };
      }
    ];
  }
}
============================================================================================
# config/telescope.nix
{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:
{
  config = {
    plugins.lazy.plugins = with pkgs.vimPlugins; [
      {
        pkg = config.plugins.telescope.package;
        name = "telescope";
        dependencies = [
          plenary-nvim
          telescope-fzf-native-nvim
        ];
      }
    ];
  }
}
