snacks.nvim v2.24.0 was just released (repost: previous post was deleted)
(Plugin)

This is a repost, since my other post got deleted by Reddit's filters.
The only reason I could think of is the nickname that most people use for the git -S feature, so I removed that wording. Fingers crossed :)

---

Just made a new release of snacks.nvim including quite a lot of fixes and new features.

I fixed zig diagnostics
(Discussion)

I was disappointed by inability of zls to report compile errors. No blame, the project is young and independant.

I don't know if it's the same case for the other compiled languages, but for young once like odin/c3 might be the same.

So I did compile watch in neovim terminal and read the error report, then put them to quickfix/diagnostics list.

By analogy you may create a plugin for another editor.

Appreciate feedback if I did a total dumbness.

filler-begone.nvim - Prevent scrolling beyond buffer content
(Plugin)

Prevents neovim from scrolling past the bottom of the buffer and showing unnecessary :h filler-lines. While debugging a blink.cmp issue, I discovered that the solution would be generic to all buffers, so I broke it out into an independent plugin. Plugin initializes itself automatically, just add it to your package manager.

It's great for standard buffers, but especially useful for floating buffers (lists, git, completion menu, documentation, etc) where filler lines don't make any sense.

Special thanks to zeertzjq, justinmk, seandewar, and echasnovski for their help!

Note: When using vim._extui, set vim.o.showcmd = false to prevent an issue with forced redrawing causing flickering. Thanks stefanboca for debugging this!

https://github.com/Saghen/filler-begone.nvim

:h filler-lines:

> The lines after the last buffer line in a window are called filler lines. By
default, these lines start with a tilde (~) character. The "eob" item in the
'fillchars' option can be used to change this character. By default, these
characters are highlighted as NonText (|hl-NonText|). The EndOfBuffer
highlight group (|hl-EndOfBuffer|) can be used to change the highlighting of
the filler characters.

Install vim.pack plugins headless-ly?
(Need Help┃Solved)

I'm using 0.12 with vim.pack as "plugin manager", and every time I add my config to a docker image, I always have to press "Y" for "yes" or "A" for "always", to install all the plugins at startup. Is there any way to install all plugins non-interactively, something like "nvim --headless --installall" or something?

I could just clone all the repos manually and pit them in the correct directory, but I'd prefer it if it was more dynamic than that, such that it installs any new plugins I add to my config.

Another thing is to pipe "Y" to nvim, but I won't know how many would be needed if I want to keep it dynamic like stated above.

Repeat last forward/backward target command
(Need Help)

If I'm using a plugin like Mini.Bracketed, how do I repeat the last command done to continue to the next target? For example, if I do ]d to go to the next diagnostic, is there a shortcut to repeat that same command?

How to prevent spellchecker flagging nerd-fonts icons like "" as misspelled ?

I just realised that only nerd font icons had red underlines using oil for example.

I supposed I could add them to my spell-file I guess?

Suppressing Certain Errors Globally in Neovim
(Need Help)

Does anyone know how to suppress certain errors completely?

I'm not trying to use :silent for specific commands, rather, there are certain errors that really don't care about, such as Mark has invalid line number and such that frequently pop up when I've removed files, similar issues occur with plugins that do Git history for me when files are removed. It'd be nicer for me to just filter those messages out completely as they don't really help me at all and just interrupt my workflows.

How to set custom keymappings with mason-lspconfig and Lazy.
(Need Help)

I'm pretty new to neovim and I'm using the lazy package manager to try to set up LSP support with nvim-lspconfig, Mason, and Mason-lspconfig. My current lsp.lua file looks like this.

return {
    {
        "neovim/nvim-lspconfig",

    },
    {
        "mason-org/mason.nvim",
        opts = {}
    },

    {
        "mason-org/mason-lspconfig.nvim",
        opts = {},
        dependencies = {"mason-org/mason.nvim","neovim/nvim-lspconfig",},
    }
} 

I was wondering where to put keymappings that look like this.
vim.keymap.set("n", "gd", vim.lsp.buf.definition()) vim.keymap.set("n", "K", vim.lsp.buf.hover()) vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>sd", vim.diagnostic.open_float()) vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>rn", vim.lsp.buf.rename())

Implementing your own VSCode-style LSP breadcrumbs (not a plugin)
(Video)

I've been using dropbar.nvim for a while now. It's great! But I found that I wasn't using it to the full-extent of the features it offers. All I really wanted was the breadcrumbs, not the interactivity.

I am on a mission to cut down on my plugin needs. Plugins are great but most of them come with features that you don't fully use. If you can implement them on your own, not only can you tailor it to your particular use-case, but you can also appreciate the tool you are using. Lua is easy. And Neovim is insanely extensible. Just recently, I implemented Eldoc-style hover-documentation in Neovim.

So today I decided to dive into the docs again and created my own, simple, LSP breadcrumbs. Just to get the functionality working it took me \~100LOC. You can supplement it with aesthetics as you require. To get started, you can yoink this code, drop it into your config's init.lua (or in your lua/ directory and require(...) it in your init.lua), and voila!

Below is the video of how my implementation compares against dropbar.nvim:

dropbar.nvim in tab 2 and my implementation in tab 3

Better command-line window
(Discussion)

So I saw the post about the plugin-less breadcrumbs, I copied the code and wanted to experiment with it

for instance I wanted to see what this snippet does

    vim.lsp.buf_request(
        bufnr,
        'textDocument/documentSymbol',
        params,
        lsp_callback
    )

but typing :lua print(<paste snippet>) is very cumbersome and even more cumbersome if I wanted to make changes to the snippet. I want something like the command window (see :h command-line-window) but more powerfull aka a neovim/lua repl. so it would let you paste and run multiline lua snippets
