Hi! I built this small plugin that adds JSX/TSX text-objects and motions using Treesitter: jsx-element.nvim. I was surprised that it (to my knowledge) doesn't exist yet.

From the README:

Use ]t/[t to go to the next/previous JSX/TSX element.

Use it/at to use JSX/TSX elements as text-objects. For example dit for "delete inside tag". This works with self-closing elements:

<Checkbox value="checkedA" />
          ╰───── it ─────╯
╰─────────── at ────────────╯

It also works with paired elements:

<Button variant="text">This is a button</Button>
                       ╰───── it ─────╯
╰───────────────────── at ─────────────────────╯

I've been using Neovim for about eight years, but I knever knew about :help o_CTRL-V until today. It lets you perform a command over a column.

I had the code below and wanted to remove all trailing colons:

foo:
bar:
baz:
faz:

What I meant to do was to do was (with the cursor on the first line) $<C-v>3jd to visually select all colons and then delete them. But I accidentally did $d<C-v>3j, which, to my surprise, did the same thing.

I did know about :help o_V, which lets you turn a characterwise operation like di{ into a line-wise one by doing dVi{. But it never occurred to me that I could do the same thing with <C-v>.

By default in Neovim, H/M/L jump to the highest, middle, and lowest line in the current visible window. If you have scrolloff set, it can be dificult to tell exactly which lines they correspond to. I made this plugin to visually guide you.

I posted about this on Reddit a year ago, and I figured write about it again:

Like most companies, the one I work for will happilly pay for any employee's license to a proprietary IDE without batting an eye. Therefore, I argued that I should be able to spend that budget on a donation to an open source tool that I use daily instead. After a lot of back and forth I finally got them to donate an amount that would correspond to what they would pay for a yearly subscription to a proprietary tool to Neovim.

Do you use Neovim at work? If so, I urge you to do the same thing! That way the core team can continue to deliver awesome new features to the editor we all love. Here's a link to where you can donate.

I now got my work to pay a $400 yearly "Neovim subscription" for the second time.

To those wondering how I did it, I basically just argued that since employees at my work have an allocated budget for buying proprietary tools, it makes sense if we could spend an equivalent amount on a FOSS alternative. That way the money spent would benefit us all, and since we use the tool to make money we have a responsibility to give back to the FOSS project.

There was a bit of a back-and forth for technical reasons because (at least in Sweden where I live), payments and donations are handled and regulated differently, but they finally made it work.

If you also use Neovim for work, I encourage you to do the same thing! That way the core team can continue to deliver awesome new features to the editor we all love. Here's a link to where you can donate. There's also the official merch store if you would like to support the project that way: https://store.neovim.io/.

Hi! I've created refjump.nvim which is a plugin that lets you use ]r/[r to jump to the next/previous LSP reference in the current buffer for the item under the cursor.

The plugin also automatically integrates with demicolon.nvim if you have it installed, which I recently posted about. This means that you can also repeat the jumps forward/backward with ;/,.

Here's a video showing it in action.

Enjoy!

demicolon.nvim is a plugin that lets you use ;/, to repeat more jumps than just t/T/f/F like diagnostic jumps with ]d/[d and treesitter text-object jumps like ]f/[f to next/previous function.

Now you can also easily make your own custom jumps repeatable with ;/,. For example, I've now made gitsigns.nvim's ]c/[c repeatable out of the box with demicolon.nvim. Here's the implementation if you're curious. For more information see the custom jumps section in the README.

When using LuaSnip together with nvim-cmp and a snippet library like friendly-snippets or luasnip-snippets you get a lot of duplicated snippets. That's because the language server also servers snippets. Also, you might want to create your own custom snippet that happens to share the name of a snippet that already exists.

For example, with the setup mention above, let's say that I also have a custom fn snippet for Rust files. When I type fn, nvim-cmp suggests three snippets: one from rust-analyzer, one from friendly-snippets and my custom one.

The solution to overriding friendly-snippets with your custom ones suggested in this open LuaSnip issue is to create your own fork of friendly-snippets. However, this is not ideal because it adds a lot of extra work to each user to ensure that their fork is up-to-date with upstream. Also, it doesn't solve the issue with language servers serving snippets with the same name. I know that for most language servers you can disable snippets, but that doesn't really solve the issue either because you might want some of those snippets.

What I would like is the option to only see one of the snippets listed if there are multiple ones with the same name. Which one would be controlled with a priority list, for example:

1. If there's a custom user snippet, use that
2. Otherwise, if there's an LSP snippet, use that
3. Otherwise, use the one from friendly-snippets

Is this possible to achieve today?

Hi everyone! I've created a new Neovim plugin: demicolon.nvim. It lets you use ; and , keys to not only repeat t/T/f/F motions, but also to repeat diagnostic motions like ]w (jump to next warning) as well as jumps to nvim-treesitter-textobjects like ]f (jump to next function).

Video previewing it in action.

That's all. Have a great day!

Hi! I've created a CLI tool for downloading Rust web books (like The Rust Programming Language) as EPUB, so that you can easily read them on your e-book reader. The tool is heavily based on this gist and a lot of proompting.
