While we can still reach vifm through the `<leader>E` mapping, the basic
`<leader>e` file editor mapping has been switched over to the mini.files
browser.
It works somewhat like oil.nvim, in that you simply get a buffer to work
with that you can delete/move/copy/rename lines in and after doing a
synchronization (with `=`) all changes are actually applied to the
files.
Since I mostly need the quick file opening to do some quick renaming
operation or want to open an adjacent file this seems like the quickest
and most painless option to do so. For larger operations I still have
access to the full vifm experience.
Mini.nvim now also comes with an align module which perfectly mimics
the behavior of my beloved junegunn vim-easy-align plugin. It is almost
sad to see such an old friend go, but ultimately it removes a redundant
plugin and switches the setup ever so slightly more towards being lua
based.
The mini module also allows more advanced lua-based modifier pattern
shenanigans but so far I don't need any of the advanced stuff: I just
need a quick way to align markdown tables and similar, and this one does
exactly the same as before, only with a couple nice additional options
and previews. It still uses the same key chord `ga<where>` but also
offers `gA<where>` which apparently comes with a nicer preview. My
fingers will probably stick to the former for the time being.
One thing that changes is that, by default, it will align *all*
separators not just the first instance on each line. To mimic the old
behavior you can, in alignment mode, hit `f` to enter a filter and enter
`n==2` to get the same result as default vim-easy-align (the first pair
of delimiters are aligned).
Also it comes with some nice extra functionality like trimming
whitespace by just hitting `t` when in alignment mode
Fixed for new invocation usage and removed deprecated commands.
Added telescope functionality (to push results into trouble) though I am
not quite happy with the close coupling yet. Have not found an easy way
to only have this mapping be created if trouble exists.
On machines that have deno installed, we use peek instead of
markdown-preview for html-based previews of md files. The preview is
more responsive and in a neater package, as well as just not relying on
any vim plugin stuff to the same degree.
We still fall back to the old markdown-preview if no deno executable is
available.
We also change the key maps slightly to prepare for future 'prose' or
'preview' based mappings: All mappings are registered under the
`<leader>p` layer, with md preview being `<leader>pp` and various
mindmap operations moved to `<leader>pm`.
This fixes the somewhat confusing issue of trying to use any of the
surround operations before entering insert mode at least once in a file
(so, probably as the first operation). Before, the plugin would just
silently fail.
Now it simply loads very lazily, which does not affect load times
strongly.
Switched pyright to basedpyright as it adds a couple noteworthy
rules and some functions that are otherwise exlusive to pylance.
Especially useful for me are semantic highlighting as well as
inlay hints (now that nvim supports it from 0.10 onwards).
LSP attachment would complain if it did not find an existing dict to
access in the `settings.python` section of the python lsp dictionaries.
This fixes that by creating an empty dict if nothing exists yet,
essentially functioning as null-check.
Since it in fact works wonderfully now, we re-enable FeMaco, allowing to
edit codeblocks in markdown-like environments (but really anywhere) by
simply invoking `<localleader>ce` ('codeblock-edit').
The mapping is only active in markdown and quarto files for the time
being, though more can probably be added.
The command itself works anywhere (`:FeMaco`), so can be used in racket
or norg or whereever.
flash.nvim was activating on searches which, while perhaps useful
for some people, was not for me. It stops the (incremental) search
as soon as no valid target exists which drops you back into normal
mode while still typing out the search and thus doing
who-knows-what.
The operator pending mode for the original jump mapping has been
removed to allow the 'surround' mappings from mini plugin to
always work correctly (`ysiw`, `csaw`, ...).
Since treesitter is deprecating modules we switch to the new fork of the
plugin which works without any use of treesitter modules.
A painless switch since I only use the default settings of the plugin
anyway.
Add 'glances.nvim' plugin which shows the LSP references, definitions and
implementations in a very nice floating preview window. (Previously we
used Telescope which is still called if the glances plugin does not
exist.)
Can preview, scroll in the floating window, go to the destination, open
the destination in vert/horiz splits.
If the cursor was on the very first letter of a word it would fix
the misspelled word instead - now it should stay and fix the
current word under cursor instead.
Flash.nvim provides a very tasty remote editing functionality which lightspeed
does not. Otherwise it behaves *mostly* the same. For now, I have the flash
search label functionality activated (default) but if it is annoying I will
turn it off (It injects labels into the normal neovim search. So if you search
a word and want to go directly there, you just press the label key as part
of the search and it jumps there. This might be problematic if I quickly type
something that does not exist but it picks up a non-existent letter as label
instead.)
Otherwise, the remote editing functionality is activated by
<operator>r<label><movement>, such as `yr<label>iw` to yank inside a word
somewhere else and stay at the current position. Similarly for example
`cr<label>$` to change from the label to the end of the line and then jump
back to the original position and so on.
Slightly adapt lualine to not have arrow section/component dividers,
but simple slanted lines. Gets rid of a tiny bit of noise while still
clearly subdividing the sections for me which I need.
Also, removed displaying the hostname. I know which host I am on
generally, and rarely make use of it so it's just unnecessary info
for me.
Since I would like to keep my plugin configurations as modular as possible
I think it is a good first step to move the mini configuration directly
into the core plugin file where mini is loaded. Since this is the plugin
spec I want to take to basically any nvim installation I have, having it
in a single file makes it much easier to be portable.
Toggleterm, as nice as it is, is not one of my core dependencies.
I do not 'need' toggleterm on every nvim installation I have. Instead,
it can go into ui-related plugins since that is what it does, extend
nvim's UI functionality with new terminal dropdowns/floats.
Removed vim-exchange which, while an amazing functionality, is also
exactly replicated in mini.nvim (along with even more operators).
Uses slightly different mapping - not `cx<movement>` anymore but
`gx<movement>`. But this actually makes sense and fits in well with
my other g-prefixed operators (`gc` for comment and `ga` for align).
It is also the prefix for the other additional operators supplied
by mini.operators: `gs` for sorting text, `gm` for multiplying,
`gr` for replacing, `g=` for evaluating.
Since we already have the mini library installed in our setup, we don't
need to make use of external base16 plugins. It provides the same exact
functionality, and seems slim and bug-free. Nothing changes for the
user, but we have 1 plugin less to take care of (and it was
mis-behaving in new versions anyway).
Also set lualine to be reloaded on theme switch so it takes on the
colorscheme as well.
Added mapping to insert a link to an existing Zettel with
`<localleader>ni` (note insert), either from normal mode which creates
the complete link, or from visual selection mode which surrounds the
current selection (as visible link text) with the link.
New zettel links still use my own implementation so I have full control
over their naming scheme.
When switching the current buffer to the Zettelkasten index page
(`<leader>ni`), we now also switch the working directory to the
corresponding notes directory.
Setting `vim.g.disable_autoformat` to true will disable automatic linting globally,
though I have not set up commands or mappings for manual linting. It is also
missing buffer-local linting which could be copied from buffer-local formatting.
Moved loading and setting up file watching to the loading of the plugin itself.
Will make it a little more self-contained and not crash or complain if we are
missing the plugin.
HACK
At the same time, reverted back to pinned base16 commit since the new one did
not work again. Gotta figure it out at some point but no time now.
Since I am already using fidget.nvim for lsp notifications, might as well use it
for other, more explicit ones. Removed nvim-notify in favor of this since I like
how unobtrusive the notifications are (and let's be honest, most you don't need
to pay attention to, instead they just take you out of flow).
Using mason-tool-installer we ensure everything is installed correctly.
Need to improve the collection of things to install. Currently we just
do everything in lsp configuration file, even the non-lsp things
(formatters/linters) which should be sourced where they belong not
in that file.
Moved the mapping to show lsp info window from `<localleader>li` to
`<leader>vs`.
Local leader +l mappings should be reserved for lsp functionality,
while we have a whole +v layer to grab (meta) information about our
vim installation. It fits in there much better.
In the process of moving away from null-ls, added formatting with the help
of conform.nvim. Brings one new command, :ConformInfo which can also be
reached via `<leader>vc`.
AutoFormat on saving remains disabled by default but can be enabled with
:FormatEnable (and disabled again with :FormatDisable) or quickly through
`<localleader>lL`.
Manual formatting works like before with `<localleader>ll`. Uses the
formatters set in the plugin (similar setup to null-ls before) but
automatically falls back to lsp formatters if it does not have its own
and lsp has one enabled.
Mappings preceded by <leader>s 'show' something so removed a lot of the 'toggle'
wording from their descriptions.
Subsumed the toggleterm toggles under this menu since they 'show' a term window
(lazygit or ipython).
Changed Aerial mappings to show navigator by default (`<leader>so`) and the
sidebar outline only on capital version (`<leader>sO`) since this mapping is
used less often.
Removed broken molten-image setup.
Image nvim works mostly well (slow on wezterm but that will always be the case
with kitty protocol for now as far as I know).
Would love to be able to toggle images on/off dynamically but I don't see a
way to accomplish that now. (or really, get to any option of the plugin).
Molten itself also works well - the output is displayed more nicely than for
the Magma plugins and everything continues working mostly well (or rather,
just as wonky as I had it set up on my older magma install :)
For now, the molten - image.nvim integration seems to not work at all -
it simply errors out when it would produce an image as output. No clue why
and it also complains about the wrong image provider (which I have taken from
the molten readme). No time to bugfix now but maybe at some point.
To do - find a much better way of installing the image.nvim required
luarock magick - done manually with hardcoded path in setup now
Also extended the old `py` alias to a full-blown script which will in
addition to detecting the python repl also find any running molten
session for the current directory (i.e. any running jupy kernel) and let
the user choose the right one if there is multiple. Will then default to
starting a kernel-aware repl environment (euporia or jupyter-console).
Added a very simple `-c` option which lets you choose python command to
run manually.
HACK
Added support for nushell lsp (not yet available to automatically install
through mason integration) and for nushell treesitter (VERY manual
installation as of right now).
Will work for testing out the shell and its nvim integration but
definitely has to be integrated better in the future.
When writing something we often want to ideally hide the long comments
added to the end of any line in-progress as virtual text currently.
This simply adds an auto-command to hide when entering and show again
when exiting insert mode, simple but hopefully useful.
If you want to hide buffer diagnostics for any reason, there is now a
quick mapping reachable through the usual lsp submenu: `<localleader>lo`
(I suppose the mnemonic would be 'lsp off').
It toggles them enabled and disabled and only affects the current
buffer.
Mapped de-/activating zen mode to <leader>sz which means it belongs
to the '+s' group of mappings which generally activate or deactivate
showing something in nvim.
Previously belonged to <leader>vz which rather is a group changing
something about nvim configuration itself.
Updated mappings to enable spell checking slightly: <ll>ZZ enables all
languages (german, us, gb) <ll>ZE only US spellcheck, <ll>ZB GB
spelling and <ll>ZD German spelling.
HACK base16 plugin changed something in its internal application
of highlights so that not all highlights get correctly applied
when my nvim setup boots up. Have to investigate.
Added markmap plugin to make mindmaps from markdown. Uses
headings for leaves, and works pretty automatically.
Testing its functionality longer-term for now.
Removed notification on activating a python venv.
It should just work, transparent to the user and we do
not need a big ol' notification each time we enter
a file.
Can edit (`<ll>ce`), jump-to (`]c`, `[c`), insert (`<ll>co`,
`<ll>cO`) and run (`<ll>cc`) code cells in markdown files.
They will not be evaluated as part of an overall repl but
only stand-alone!
Automatically set formatting mode to soft for markdown, text and asciidoc files.
Also automatically format on startup (no lazy-loading), and thus have
nicely word-ending linebreaks (a word will not just be cut off wherever the
line is over but will be fully moved to the next line instead).
Added neotest with some mappings to run tests and view
outputs, as well as neotest-python for now to make it
work under python.
Added registering with which-key if it exists.
Mapped to `[D` / `]D`, reflecting the capitalization of going to the
next general diagnostic (`[d`/`]d`).
Now it is similar to spelling mistakes and spelling errors
(`]s[s`/`]S[S` respectively).
Since we move between git chunks with ]h/[h, we may as well
move between git *conflict* chunks (should there be any)
with ]H and [H mirroring the diagnostics/error setup
situation.
