+ + + + + + + ts-node-action.nvim + +
+
A plugin framework for applying functional transformations to treesitter nodes. If you’ve ever found yourself doing some uninteresting reformatting actions on text frequently, speed up your workflow by writing a function to do the hard work for you! Out of the box most of the actions are for ruby, but Javascript, Python, Lua, and JSON have some actions too. And it’s incredibly simple to add your own functions or reuse the builtin actions for new languages.
+Some of the built-in functions are:
+-
+
- Expand/collapse hashes/arrays/method params +
- Cycle cases on identifiers/constants (snake, camel, underscore, screaming snake) +
- Split/Join blocks +
- Toggle Booleans +
- Toggle conditionals with else into ternary and back +
- Toggle conditionals without else into postfix format and back +
- … And more! Check out github for the full list :) +
Pull requests for language support are welcome! Written by @CKolkey!
+ ++ +
+ + + + + + + bufferline-cycle-windowless.nvim + +
+
Neovims default tab-window-buffer model allows viewing open buffers in multiple windows.
+This plugin helps give a more traditional behaviour for tabs by configuring the ability to skip past buffers that are +already open in an existing window. The behaviour is toggleable and configurable to be on or off by default.

+ +
+ + + + + + + wrapping.nvim + +
+ +A new plugin by @andrewferrier which is designed to make it easier to handle soft
+and hard line wrapped files, and is especially useful if you deal with a lot of text-like files in Neovim (Markdown,
+AsciiDoc, text, etc.) from different sources with different types of line wrapping. It’s based on an older vim plugin
+the author wrote called vim-wrapping-softhard.

+++Rainbow parentheses for neovim using tree-sitter.

+@mrjones2014 has announced a new maintained fork, but look for updates on other forks from its many contributors.
+ ++ +
+ + + + + + + Neogen + +
+++Neogen is a better annotation generator. Supports multiple languages and annotation conventions.
+
Neogen 2.11 version now generates default annotations from the best type match,
+when calling :Neogen without arguments (credits to @ssiyad).
Neogen will now try to guess (based on cursor position in the syntax tree) where to insert the annotations, by default.
+No behaviour is changed when generating annotations with :Neogen <TYPE>, >TYPE> being the desired annotation type.

+++A Neovim Plugin which uses Tree-sitter to conceal typical boiler Code
+
Now supports python in addition to lua!

+ + + + + + pvim + + +
+++A portable Vim wrapper. It intends to contain everything to the one directory +and if needed grab the Neovim app image.
+
New support for lazy.nvim
+The wrapper is now more intelligent with setting up your plugin manager by waiting until your config calls for it. As +such it is no longer limited to only Packer based configs and has added Lazy support. If you want to use it with +another plugin manager feel free to open an issue or PR.

The author would like to remind that following the announcement of +Neovim 0.9 to be released in Feb 2023, the +plugin is going to have a migration / refactoring that might imply configuration issues. The author opens a discussion +to discuss possible migration paths and warnings before the actual breaking changes start appearing.
+ ++ +
Did you know?
+Last week, we saw how to jump to the last place you’ve visited in a file.
+Today we’ll learn how to disable hlsearch automatically when your search done and enable on next searching without
+extra plugins. Add next lines in your init.lua:
local ns = vim.api.nvim_create_namespace('toggle_hlsearch')
+
+local function toggle_hlsearch(char)
+ if vim.fn.mode() == 'n' then
+ local keys = { '<CR>', 'n', 'N', '*', '#', '?', '/' }
+ local new_hlsearch = vim.tbl_contains(keys, vim.fn.keytrans(char))
+
+ if vim.opt.hlsearch:get() ~= new_hlsearch then
+ vim.opt.hlsearch = new_hlsearch
+ end
+ end
+end
+
+vim.on_key(toggle_hlsearch, ns)
+Also, if you don’t want to have a listener listening to all your keys, you can just achieve the same result manually by
+calling the :noh (:nohlsearch), which removes the highlighting of the search.

- Define all your keymaps as simple lua tables. +
- Group keymaps the way you think about them. +
- Modular, declarative way to define keymaps. +
- It’s as easy to define buffer local keymaps as global. +
- which-key.nvim integration out of the box. +
Congrats on the plugin!
+ ++ +
+ + + + + + + nvim-various-textobjs + +
+
A new plugin that bundles more than a dozen textobjects (dozens!), written by +@chrisgrieser. Among its features:
+-
+
- Supports forward seeking of text objects (if appropriate for the type of textobj). +
- Minimal configuration if you are fine with the default keybindings. +
- Supports visual and operator pending mode. +
- Fully written in Lua. +
- Readme includes an example for further processing the textobjects, like opening the next js-regex pattern in +regex101.com (prefilled with pattern, flags, and replacement). +
Nice addition!

+:FloatermNew make <your-make-target>.
+ +
+ + + + + + + no-neck-pain.nvim + +
+++ +Dead simple plugin to center the currently focused buffer to the middle of the screen.
+
The plugin received a couple of new features and fixes, among more side buffer theme options, customizable mappings to +to toggle the plugin, automated enbling on entering the editor, and more!
+ ++ +
Did you know?
+Did you know that you can automatically jump to the last place you’ve visited in a file before exiting? Just add this
+autocmd in your init.lua:
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('BufReadPost', {
+ callback = function()
+ local mark = vim.api.nvim_buf_get_mark(0, '"')
+ local lcount = vim.api.nvim_buf_line_count(0)
+ if mark[1] > 0 and mark[1] <= lcount then
+ pcall(vim.api.nvim_win_set_cursor, 0, mark)
+ end
+ end,
+})
+It will search mark " which contains the cursor position when last exiting the buffer and set the cursor position to
+that location. A pretty nice trick to know!

- Better default for searching data / URL nodes; it will not show empty +nodes. +
- Fix prefix for the prompt while fuzzy searching. +
- Fix smart project creation. +
- Fix moving nodes (persistence wasn’t applied correctly). +

+ + + + + + grapple.nvim + + +
+++ +Grapple is a plugin that aims to provide immediate navigation to important files (and its last known cursor location) +by means of persistent file tags within a project scope. Tagged files can be bound to a keymap or selected from within +an editable popup menu.
+
The plugin received a large update lately in its v0.5.1 release. Among the new things:
+-
+
-
+
Setup is now optional!
+
+ -
+
Project scopes are now saved as individual files, +instead of one large JSON blob. This means:
+-
+
- Project scopes can be loaded lazily; only the scopes used within a neovim session are loaded. +
- Load times should always be fast since a user will only tag a few files per project scope. +
- It’s as easy as deleting a file in order to cleanup old / unused project scopes (automatic pruning is in the works). +
- Unlike harpoon, grapple should not see performance degradation +over time. +
+ -
+
New
+git_branchscope that can save your tags to a specific git repo and branch. Useful if you use git worktrees.
+ -
+
New project Scope API for custom scope resolution. This means:
+-
+
- For example, users who do not use git can define their own custom scope resolution. +
+ -
+
Project scopes are now cached by default. This means:
+-
+
- A project scope will only be updated when necessary (i.e. a specific autocmd event is triggered). +
+ -
+
Project scopes can be asynchronously determined (i.e.
+git_branch).
+
A nice update!
+ ++ +
+ + + + + + bob + + +
+++A version manager for Neovim.
+
Version v1.2.1 was released! Among the changes:
+-
+
- Code & Error handling improvements. +
- New AUR package bob which builds bob directly from source: +
- New installation source crates.io. +
- Finally added ARM Mac(M1) upstream binary! +

+ ++ + + + + + + Neovim Spaghetti - LSP Servers, Linters, Formatters, and Treesitter + +
+ +To make the most of Neovim it’s useful to understand the technologies it can leverage, how the various plugins that +manage these technologies relate to one another, and how they can be installed and configured. In this article we’ll +attempt to untangle the Neovim plugin spaghetti that turns Neovim into a more featureful modern editor.

+ + + + + + Special: appreciation post + + +
+As author of This Week in Neovim, I (@phaazon) was pleased to read +such a post on Reddit. The +community is growing fast and we can all congragulate ourselves for the new plugins and existing ecosystem that is +thriving.
+Give it up for the plugin authors — and yourself if you are one! — and don’t hesitate to drop a comment in the +aforementioned Reddit post thread! I also use the opportunity of that post to mention that plugin authors are highly +encouraged to open pull-requests to the content repository of This Week in Neovim +in order to help me continue providing weekly updates!

New plugins
+ ++ + + + + + + TreeSJ + +
+Neovim plugin for splitting/joining blocks of code like arrays, hashes, statements, objects, dictionaries, etc. Written +in Lua using tree-sitter.
+Inspired by and partly repeats the functionality of splitjoin.vim.
+Features:
+-
+
- Can be called from anywhere in the block: no need to move cursor to specified place to split/join block of code. +
- Make cursor sticky: the cursor follows the text on which it was called. +
- Autodetect mode: toggle-mode present. Split or join blocks by same key mapping. +
- Do it recursively: expand or collapse all nested nodes? Yes, you can. +
- Recognize nested languages: filetype doesn’t matter, detect language with treesitter. +
Created by @Wansmer.
+ ++ +
+ + + + + + alfreed-neovim-uitilies + + +
+
A set of Alfred workflows created by @chrisgrieser. +Those can:
+-
+
- Search the online
:helpfor Neovim.
+ - Search Neovim plugin (powered by Neovimcraft). +
- Access your oldfiles from outside of your editor. +
Requirements: Alfred (macOS) with powerpack.
+ ++ +
+ + + + + + twoslash-queries.nvim + + +
+
Inspired by vscode-twoslash-queries, this plugin allows you to print +typescript types as inline virtual text and dynamically update it instantly without having to move the cursor over the +inspected variable. By @marilari88.
+ ++ +
+ + + + + + trashvim + + +
+
A Neovim configuration focusing on TypeScript and web development, utilising LSP and other features to deliver a +powerful IDE like editing experience with the performance and productivity of neovim. Made by +@ixahmedxi in honor to @trashh_dev, a content Twitch +streamer.
+ ++ +
+ + + + + + zone.nvim + + +
+
A set of screensavers for Neovim! One is special and coming back from the realm of your worst nightmares: will it hit +the angle? Will it not? You will sit and wait to see. Nice work @tamton-aquib! 👏
+ ++ +
+ + + + + + cellular-automaton.nvim + + +
+ +This plugin is special. It’s not useful as it won’t help improve your productivity or leverage some new API. But it does +something pretty cool: it transforms the meaning of your text into a cellular automaton. You can literally break your +code now! Fantastic work by @Eandrju.
+ ++ +
+ + + + + + AsciiTree.nvim + + +
+
Converts selected text into an ASCII tree using the :AsciiTree command. Inspired by the
+VSCode Ascii Tree Generator plugin.
+Made by @xorid.
+ +
+ + + + + + duck.nvim + + +
+
As r/Jdj8af said on Reddit, _“Wow finally a plugin that has a duck that waddles around my code!” A duck by

+ +
+ + + + + + murmur.nvim + + +
+ +@nyngwang made a plugin that highlights word under the cursor in a super fast way, +supporting callbacks and more.
+ ++ +
+ + + + + + sunset.nvim + + +
+An automatic theme switcher for Neovim that uses precise sunrise/sunset times based on your latitude and longitude. +Plugin by @JManch.

Updates
+ ++ + + + + + + legendary.nvim + +
+++🗺️ A legend for your keymaps, commands, and autocmds, with which-key.nvim integration
+
legendary.nvim now supports item groups to create nested menus in the finder. Selecting an item group will open a new
+finder searching the items within the selected group.
+ +
+ + + + + + buffer_manager.nvim + + +
+++ +A simple plugin to easily manage Neovim buffers.
+
The plugin received a few features proposed by some users:
+-
+
- Reorganize (reorder) buffers in the menu. +
- Add custom keybindings and commands to apply to buffers. +
- Disable/customize keybindings to access buffers. +
Nice work!

Completion source for nvim-cmp using Vlime for Common Lisp completions. By +@HiPhish
+ ++ +
+ + + + + + fsread.nvim + + +
+ +This is a new special plugin that allows to minimize the amount of data to read to understand the content.

This is a plugin for those looking for a VSCode-like experience in Neovim.
+Some of the unique features:
+-
+
- A rich set of default plugins which make up an IDE experience: +
- A panel which stacks plugins similar to VSCode: +
- The ability to swap groups of plugins into panels, similar to VSCode: +

Did you know?
+You probably know the * key, which allows you to search the word under your cursor. Pressing n will go to the next
+occurrence, and pressing N will go backwards. If you press * on a word that is the last occurrenc in your buffer, it
+will go back up to the top of your buffer to continue searching, probably moving your view by quite a lot of lines.
Did you know that there is a key that allows to search the word under your keyword immediatly in backwards mode?
+Pressing n will continue searching backwards, and pressing N will go forward. That key is the # key!

+vim.secure.read()and use it for'exrc'Add the
+vim.secure.read()function in Lua which prompts the user whether the given file is trusted or not. This +function is used to implement the'exrc'feature.

+ + + + + + + lsp-format-modifications.nvim + +
+LSP formatting, but only on modified text regions.
+Many projects suggest contributors use an autoformatter to keep code style consistent. However, in larger projects with legacy code, there can be plenty of places where the style deviates from the autoformatter’s preference. In that case, you don’t want to format entire files — you’ll get very noisy diffs! But you also don’t want to comb through all of the changes you’ve made, manually applying the autoformatter.
+The solution implemented by this plugin is to run the autoformatter over the changed lines as defined by the revision control system.

We all love a new colorscheme, so here’s a new one, made by @Yazeed1s! Inspired by a +VSCode plugin of the same name.
+ ++ +
+ + + + + + ascii.nvim + + +
+
A new plugin acting as a collection of ASCII arts (in the form of a Lua table). Who will be the one writing a plugin +that randomly generate string names to pick those and display them as dashboard? Nice work, +@MaximilianLloyd.
+ ++ +
+ + + + + + awesome-nvim-colorschemes + + +
+Did I mention we all like colorschemes? Guess what: @AbdelrahmanDwedar made a +GitHub repository to list some interesting colorschemes. The list is currently very slim, so feel free to contribute.
+A great alternative is awesome-neovim, which has a long list +of nice looking colorschemes.
+ ++ +
+ + + + + + nvim-unception + + +
+ +Even though that plugin was written a few months back, we never introduced it in TWiN, so here we go! +A plugin written by @samjwill that leverages Neovim’s built-in RPC +functionality to simplify opening files from within Neovim’s terminal emulator without +unintentionally nesting sessions.
+The plugin now supports Git commits, multiple sessions, and free from reliance on external tools!
+ ++ +
+ + + + + + popui.nvim + + +
+
This plugin wasn’t introduced before it was released.
+A tiny (currently 337 LoC) collection of custom UI utilities, written by @hood, to make your
+NeoVim workflow faster. It consists of two (ui-overrider, input-overrider) utilities which override Neovim’s default
+vim.ui.select and vim.ui.input, spawning a floating menu right where your cursor resides, and a
+diagnostics-navigator utility to quickly navigate (and jump to) LSP diagnostics issues in the current buffer.
The plugin is also dependency free, now!
+Alternatives are dressing.nvim and +noice.nvim.
+ ++ +
+ + + + + + portal.nvim + + +
+
Portal is a plugin that aims to build upon and enhance existing jumplist motions (i.e. c-o and +c-i) by surfacing contextual information with the use of +portals, and providing multiple jump options by +means of queries. That is a very interesting new kind of moving around; +definitly worth a try!
+Plugin by @cbochs.
+ ++ +
+ + + + + + easy-action + + +
+ +A motionless motion plugin! Yep, that’s a thing. Take a motion plugin, like
+leap.nvim or hop.nvim, and make it
+possible to yank, paste, and perform various actions using the typical hints, but without moving your cursor. Plugins
+can provide that, but easy-action does it for various plugins with a different way (plugins like Leap and Hop might
+already support it, or will, but it’s nice to see something doing it using plugins’ API).
+ +
+ + + + + + nvim-file-location + + +
+
This plugin written by @diegoulloao allows to yank the exact location of the cursor +in the current buffer. Pretty convenient.

silicon.luais a lua plugin for neovim to generate beautiful images of code snippet using silicon.

+ ++ +
+ + + + + + bob + + +
+++Bob is a cross-platform and easy-to-use Neovim version manager, allowing for easy switching between versions right +from the command line.
+
Bob v1.2.0 was released! Main improvements of v1.2.0:
+-
+
- Hash-Support: By providing a commit hash from Neovim’s repo you can effortlessly build Neovim from source. +
- Added AUR package called
bob-bin.
+ - Stability improvements. +
That is such a great update!
+ ++ +
+ + + + + + other.nvim + + +
+++Open alternative files for the current buffer
+
Some improvements for the built-in rails-mappings, including support for the minitest and rspec test frameworks.
+There’s also a visual overhaul of the file picker which now support shortcut keys to open the desired file more quickly.
+ +
Did you know?
+Have you migrated from nvim-lsp-installer to mason.nvim? nvim-lsp-installer installed servers to a different location than mason.nvim - remember to clean up the old installation directory to free up disk space! The default installation directory of nvim-lsp-installer are:

+
+ + + + + + leap-spooky.nvim + + +
+
Spooky is a Leap extension that allows for remote operations on Vim’s native text objects. It exposes atomic bundles of (virtual or actual) leaping motions and text object selections, so that you can e.g. yank a paragraph without leaving your position (yarp<leap>), or fix a typo in a very short, atomic command sequence, even from another window (ciRw<leap>). The origin of this idea can be traced to the “leaping motions” feature of vim-seek. (The name clash is a funny coincidence. We should probably have named our feature “seeking motions” in exchange…)
The plugin is highly experimental at the moment - it would be great to gather as much feedback as possible. (@ggandor)

@LintaoAmons’s very first plugin!, allowing to create temporary (scratch) buffers. +Useful when wanting REPL workflows, for instance.
+ ++
Updates
++ + + + + + NeoSolarized.nvim + + +
+++NeoSolarized colorscheme for NeoVim with full transparency.
+
The theme was introduced in TWiN #4, but it +recently received some updates, like a better support for other plugins and better syntax highlightings, especially for +some specific terminals (Alacritty, Kitty and Konsole).
+It still looks pretty good!
+ ++
+ + + + + + mini.nvim + + +
+The ‘mini.nvim’ plugin now comes not only as a library of independent Lua modules. Thanks to the new dual distribution +model, all modules are now also available as standalone plugins in separate Git repositories. They will be updated in +sync with ‘mini.nvim’ using only commits relevant to the module.
+ ++
+ + + + + + hop.nvim + + +
+++Neovim motions on speed!
+
Hop was released in version v2.0.3. This new version is mostly about fixing some bugs and optimizing performances:
-
+
- Fix quitting in commands using
multi_windows = truewhen a float is present.
+ - Fix broken matching when magic chars are included in
opts.keys.
+ - Support motion with count, as in
2dw.
+ - Fix incorrect behavior in multi-byte chars. +
- Link
HopPreviewtoIncSearchby default. Colorschemes can still override that (no change for them).
+ - Cleanup some regexes by computing them once. +
- Lazy import all the modules. +
The next batch of updates will focus on virtual windows (popups, floats, etc.) which sometimes cause invalid ID buffer +errors and such, and the column bug that is present if you use some specific commands on empty lines / at the end of +lines.
+ ++
Did you know?
+Are you tired of having your cursor jump all around the place when you cross the path of a line that is shorter than the
+line you are currently on? Some people can be upset with that, so there is a drastic solution: :set virtualedit=all.
+This will cause Neovim to authorize you to edit anywhere in the view (not only the buffer). What it means is that you
+can put your cursor in an empty zone, press your insert key and add text. It will automatically fill the left part of
+the line with empty space.
A less drastic option of virtualedit is the onemore variant (:set virtualedit=onemore), which allows you to edit
+past the end of the line by one character. Pressing $ will put your cursor on the last character, and pressing l (or
+whatever key is bound for you) will move the cursor by end extra character.

#20428 removes
+filetype.vimin favor of the now default filetype.lua.(If you install from the repo, make sure to clean out
+/usr/local/share/nvim/runtime beforemake install.) +The filetype detection logic and tests still align with Vim, so additions or changes still need to be contributed +there first and then ported to Neovim.

+++Highly experimental plugin that completely replaces the UI for messages, cmdline and the popupmenu.

The plugin received a couple of changes lately. The list is long, so you can see by yourself +here for the details. Here’s a TL;DR:
+-
+
- An update view was added. +
- Command formatters are now sexy like never! +
- Confirm dialogs with button-like inputs. +

The plugin received significant changes lately, among several breaking changes. Changelog excerpt for the v2.4:
+-
+

Did you know?
+This week, I (@phaazon) wants to bring the attention of every plugin authors to an +important matter. I have seen numerous times plugins hosting the demo screenshots, gifs and videos of their contents +directly in the Git index. Do not do that. I repeat, do not do that! A typical Neovim plugin repository is basically +a bunch of Lua files, and even big projects should rarely exceed 1 MB of disk usage (text is light and the Git history +compressed). But a single (one!), high-resolution screenshot, can sit between 10 MB to 100 MB, completely ruining your +repository. People installing your plugin will have to download that screenshot for nothing.
+You can drag and drop your image in any GitHub project New Issue input to get a permalink to host your media files. +Use it!

+cmdheight=0feature recently received a larger change in +implementation, is expected to need more testing and bug fixes before it is considered to be stable enough for a +general release.The general advice of always updating Neovim nightly together with plugins applies. In particular,
+nvim-treesitter+and other tree-sitter dependent plugins need to be updated for changes in Neovim core.

+ + + + + + nvim-peekup + + +
+
nvim-peekup lets you dynamically interact with Neovim registers via floating windows, with visual selections that
+help you identify the register to copy - plus some other goodies. A plugin by @gennaro-tedesco.
+
+ + + + + + ccc.nvim + + +

The plugin now has support for SASS variables and imports, and Tailwind colors, a CSS LSP.
+ ++
+ + + + + + SJ.nvim + + +
+++Search based navigation combined with quick jump features.
+
This is an update gathering the release of two versions of the plugin: v0.2 and v0.3.
From v0.2:
-
+
- Labels position is fixed and overlap with the matches like other jump plugins (old behavior is still available via +an option). +
- You can now use
<Backspace>to delete last characters of the pattern.t
+ - You can now use
<Alt-Backspace>to restore the last version of the pattern that has matches.
+
From v0.3:
-
+
- An option was added to limit the maximum length of the pattern. +
- An option was added to reuse the last pattern. +
- A highlight was added to indicate when the next key must be for the label (when using
max_length_pattern).
+
A huge update, then!

Did you know?
+The :%s command substitutes text in your current buffer. For instance, :%s/have/had/g substitutes the word have by
+had everywhere in your buffer. The g modifier makes it so that if you have have twice on the same line, both words
+will be modified — omitting g will only replace the first occurrence on each line. You can also use c as an extra
+modifier to be prompted with a replace confirmation for each occurrence.
Now, something that people might not know. Imagine you have the following buffer:
+let _ = 32;
+let _ = 32;
+let _ = 32;
+
+let x = foo(32);
+let y = bar(32);
+let z = zoo(32);
+let a = quux(32);
+let b = tronfibulate(32);
+
+let _ = 32;
+let _ = 32;
+let _ = 32;
+And you want to replace all of the 32 arguments to functions by 100, but you don’t want to replace couple of 32
+declarations at the top of the buffer and at the end. A way to do that would be to use :%s/32/100/gc and confirm only
+when replacing 32 inside the functions arguments. But that’s not very practical. A better way is to use visual mode
+commands! Select all the lines starting from let x = … to let b = … and press :. You can then enter the substitute
+command to scope it to that selection; remember: % means the whole file; here, your command line will look like
+something like :'<,'>, which are visual marks (don’t change them!). So the substitute command will look like this:
:'<,'>s/32/100/g
+And that’s all! You can see that the replacement was limited to the portion of text you selected. That works in visual, +line and block visual modes, so have fun replacing things!
+:h s_flags for more information about the substitute flags.

spellsitter merged to core!. A +huge contribution by @lewis6991 and @vigoux. If you did not know,

#15391 adds tree-sitter parsers and queries for core languages (C, Lua +and VimL).
+Neovim now bundles parsers and highlight queries for Lua, Vimscript, and C; by default the former are installed in +
+/usr/local/lib/nvim/parsers, the latter in/usr/local/share/nvim/runtime/queries. Parsers and queries from plugins and +user configs should take precedence, but conflicts cannot be ruled out in some situations.To enable treesitter highlighting for Lua, add
+vim.g.ts_highlight_lua = trueto yourinit.lua. (Note that this +disables regex syntax highlighting, which plugins may rely on for functionality. In this case, addvim.bo.syntax = 'ON'toftplugin/lua.luain your config.)Note that this does not work with

+ +@phaazon updated Mind to version v2.2.0, fixing bugs and adding a couple of new features. Here’s the changelog:
-
+
- Update requirements in the README (mainly
plenary.nvim).
+ - Clean and fix documentation typos and instructions. +
- Remove some deprecated warnings. +
- Fix state JSON deserialization for prettified JSON. +
- Fix change_icon_menu that didn’t correctly save the tree. +
- Add
:MindClose.
+ - Fix closing the tree with
:q.
+ - Fix opening global project (i.e. a cwd-based project living in the main persistence place). +
- Add smart project trees. Smart project trees are regular project trees, either global or local, but the interaction
+depends on their existence. If no project tree exists for the current cwd, the user is prompted which kind of tree
+they want (local / global). After that,
:MindOpenSmartProjectdetects whether it must open a local or a global +tree, with a priority on local trees.
+
All of that is available as part of mind-v2.2.0, so if you were using branch = 'v2', you’re already covered.
+Otherwise, you need to update to branch = 'v2.2' — no need to pin the patch version.
+
+ + + + + + nvim-colorizer.lua + + +
+Although norcalli/nvim-colorizer.lua is pretty stable already, there +is now a more maintained fork: NvChad/nvim-colorizer.lua. It got merged +several pending PRs with some nice functionality. Check it out!
+ ++
+ + + + + + heirline.nvim + + +
+
@rebelot made an update of heirline.nvim with a new tabline cookbook. You can take full control on buffer and tab
+rendering (visible/active/inactive buffers, icons, file flags, git status, diagnostics, create the components you
+like!), make buffer list to automatically paginate, and more.
+
+ + + + + + packer + + +
+ +You can now do PackerUpdate --preview (#975) to first preview
+possible changes, choose which plugins to actually update and then continue, instead of first updating and then checking
+changes.
This together with two other recent changes:
+-
+
- A compact setting to default to folding results to one line per plugin (#1035). +
- Ability to show diff of a range of commits (#1034). +

#19931 modified the rules for defining highlights in tree-sitter +highlights.scm.
+Previously the following two mechanisms were available
+-
+
- use a capture name with initial uppercase.
@WarningMsg.fooautomatically mapped to highlight groupWarningMsg
+ - (undocumented but often used) extend the
vim.treesitter.highlighter.hl_mapdict to translate lowercase groups.
+
Both of these are now removed. Instead capture names, including the initial
+@, are now directly usable as +highlight groups, both using ex commands and the api:
+:hi link @foo.bar MyHighlight + :lua vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "@string.special", {fg="Green"}) +There are no special behaviour for upper-case names (case-insensitive just like all highlight group names). The same +fallback rule still applies: if a highlight is defined for
+@foobut not for@foo.bar, the former is used for +@foo.barcaptures.
+ - use a capture name with initial uppercase.
-
+
#19830 made some highlight group names modifications.
+Previously if a highlight group with a name outside the regexp
+[a-zA-Z0-9_]was defined, Nvim would emit an invalid +character warning message. This has now been promoted to an error with the codeE5248.Additionally the ASCII character period (
+.) and at-sign (@) has been added to the allowed list of characters of a +highlight group name to support the application of defining hierarchical highlight groups, e.g.@keyword.

Did you know?
+Macros are one of the most powerful tools of Vim / Neovim. They allow to record a series of Neovim commands and
+actions, and replay them later. You start recording to a record register by pressing q and the register (like a, so
+qa), then you perform some actions and once you are done, you press q again to register all those actions to the
+a macro.
Then, you can invoke the macro with @a, or with a number in front of it if you want to repeat the macro several times,

Did you know?
+Neovim has the concept of registers (:h registers). Lots of those registers have a semantic use, like the unnamed
+register (""), that is used by default by all the d, c, s, x and p commands. It is recommended to read the
+helpe pages for all the registers, but a couple of interesting things:
-
+
- You can select the register you want to use one the listed commands above with by using the
"key. So"ais the +aregister. This is super powerful, because you can for instance put a couple of lines, functions, etc. in a couple +of different registers, and paste them later at once, without having to go back and forth ("ap,"bp, etc.).
+ - A pretty cool thing to know: in insert mode, the C-r keybinding allows you to paste the content of any
+register. So you can press C-r a to insert the content of
"ain insert mode!
+ - Finally, don’t forget that you can use all of the above while writing macros, making them incredibly powerful (and +that’s probably one of the main reason why we don’t really need multi cursor in Vim / Neovim!). +
That’s all for this week. See you next week for another batch of Neovim news!

Did you know?
+nvim-cmp is a well known and widely used plugin for completion. But did you know +that Neovim (Vim) already supports a wide variety of completion? Among the most useful ones, in insert mode:
+-
+
- The key sequence
C-x C-ngives you words in the current file / buffer.
+ - The key sequence
C-x sbrings a completion menu for spelling (to enable with:set spell).
+ - A super useful one,

+
Did you know?
+++This section is about various Neovim tips. People are free to contribute any tips they have on their mind. Tips are +intended for any Neovim user, should they be beginners or advanced users.
+
Neovim has the support of text-objects, which are used in visual or operator-pending mode. w for instance stands for
+the text-object word. When you are in operator pending mode, for instance right after pressing d for delete, pressing
+w (so dw) will delete from the cursor position to the end of the word. Two modifiers exist to create more powerful
+text-objects: a (for around) and i (for inner). The former will act on the text-object on its right plus its
+surroundings delimiters (for a word, it’s basically the whitespaces). The latter, i, will apply the operation only
+inside the text-object. For a word, it means just the word, ignoring the whitespace around it.
With this, you can do really powerful editing. For instance, if you have this HTML code:
+<div class="stuff">I like cookies</div>
+And you want to change I like cookies to I love pasta, you can simply put your cursor anywhere in that text, and
+press cit, which translates to:
c = change
+i = inner
+t = tag
+t is a text-object native to Neovim that can recognize “tags” of the filetype you are editing (here, HTML tags). So
+that command will change the text inside the tag. If you wanted to completely replace the whole tag with another one,
+you could have pressed cat, which would have removed the surroundings (i.e. the <div> and </div>).
++If you have any tips that have not been shared yet (or it was a while ago), please feel free to share to the +contents repository. Thanks!
+
And that’s all for this week! See you all next time for a full batch of Neovim updates on the 15th Aug 2022!

New plugins
++ + + + + + nvim-osc52 + + +
+This week, we have a new plugin and it’s about system clipboards! nvim-osc52 uses the ANSI OSC52 sequence to copy
+directly into your system clipboard, wherever you are (local machine, remote, etc.). The way it works is by writing what
+you want to copy to the system clipboard into Neovim’s stderr stream. When the OSC52 sequence is read by your terminal,
+it does the job to copy that content to your system clipboard.
The main advantage of this is being able to copy text whatever your pty is (so it works through SSH!).
A plugin by @ojroques, which is a rewrite of their older vim-oscyank plugin.

+ ++
+ + + + + + cbfmt + + +
+@lukas-reineke made a new plugin this week: cbfmt. That plugin allows to format embedded codeblocks inside Markdown
+and Org documents. It’s not a plugin per-se — it’s a CLI tool — but it was worth mentioning it there.
+
+ + + + + + projector.nvim + + +
+A plugin by @smolovk to create and manage multiple sub-configs for projects. It currently has two commands: one to
+load a configuration, and one to edit it. The plugin stores the configurations in stdpath('data') — which is most of
+the time in ~/.local/share/nvim.
+
+ + + + + + mini.ai + + +
+ +A module of mini.nvim (by @echasnovski) for extending and creating
+a / i textobjects (like in di( or va"). It enhances some built-in textobjects (like a(, a), a',
+and more), creates new ones (like a*, a<Space>, af, a?, and more), and allows users to create their own.
+Supports dot-repeat, v:count, different search methods, consecutive application, and customization via Lua
+patterns or functions. The plugin has built-ins for brackets, quotes, function calls, arguments, tasg, user
+prompts, and any punctuation / digit / whitespace character.
+
+ + + + + + true-zen.nvim + + +
+ +This is a plugin that is doing something a bit different than the plugins we announced in TWiN lately. According to its +author, @Pocco81, it “de-clutters NeoVim’s UI to enhance your coding experience”. The plugin provides four main +features, implemented as modes:
+-
+
- Ataraxis: good ol’ zen mode. +
- Minimalist: disable ui components (e.g. numbers, tabline, statusline). +
- Narrow: narrow a text region for better focus. +
- Focus: focus the current window. +
Clearly a plugin to try out!

This week, it’s a patch version release (hop-v2.0.2). This update is all about fixing bugs, among:
-
+
- Fix “col value outside range” error, which occurred when trying to hop +at the very beginning or very last of a line / empty line with some +special combination of options. +
- Make
ctrl-c equivalent toesc inHopPatternprompt.
+ - Support
nl andctrl-h inHopPatternprompt.
+ - Fix pending operation column increment so that we can correctly use f +/ t and F / T in operator-pending modes. +
Happy hopping!

+]]>Hey! This is the very first news to be released on TWiN! The goal of this news is to +explain what the project is about, what it is not, and how you can contribute to it.
+What is TWiN?
+This project is a “This Week in…” newsletter. It allows you to get a brief summary of what happened lately in the +Neovim world. Both “core” (i.e. the editor itself) and the “plugin” community, which is expanding +quickly. As time flies, more and more plugins get updated, with new features, deprecations and ideas. Keeping up with +all that is rather hard, especially if you are using your editor to be productive without caring too much about keeping +your configuration updated. If you are a plugin author depending on other plugins (or on the Neovim Core API), this +newsletter format might be interesting for you as well.
+The format is simple. Every week, you get delivered with what happened in the past week. You have two possibilities:
+-
+
- Get your routine by visiting TWiN from time to time. Instead of having to skim around and look for updates, everything +is centralized there so it’s much easier to know what happened. +
- Subscribe to the RSS feed. +
