Feature Type

New Plugin

Feature description

nvf seemingly does not have any plugin designed for screenshotting code, and amongst those I've seen codeshot.nvim seems to be the best integrated into the neovim ecosystem

Alternatives

I have used codesnap.nvim for a while now, and it also works okay.

Additional Context

The neovim plugin repository is like 40% Nix code, so I imagine integrating it wouldn't be too difficult :p

I was unable to get it working adding it manually on my Macbook

lazy.plugins."codeshot-nvim".package = inputs.codeshot-nvim.packages.${pkgs.system}.default.overrideAttrs (old: {
  pname = "codeshot-nvim";
});

Codesnap I can get working, as it exists on nixpkgs

    lazy.plugins."codesnap.nvim".package = pkgs.vimPlugins.codesnap-nvim;

The problem with using this plugin from an input appears to be that it depends on some Rust libraries. This is an odd but now somewhat common pattern in Neovim plugins that I've come to dislike. Currently there are two ways you can approach this:

1. Use it from pkgs.vimPlugins since it is already packaged with the appropriate libraries in Nixpkgs
2. PR NVF with a new module, package codesnap similar to how we package blink.cmp.

The choice is yours.

Hey there, I'm the creator of codeshot.nvim. I'm really sorry about the issue of relying on Rust libraries. Until now, it has been the best way to provide an efficient and complete solution.

On the other hand, I forgot to make the PR to officially integrate the plugin, although I think I would first have to integrate the binary separately. In the meantime, I have a cachix that can help a lot in reducing build times.

nix.settings = {
  builders-use-substitutes = true;
  extra-substituters = [ "https://sss.cachix.org" ];
  extra-trusted-public-keys = [ "sss.cachix.org-1:YI2JMG95LEu62PC7VMz75N7bypEdUz9Z/Il1hkGH4AA=" ];
};

We have other plugins that vendor their own binaries, please see avante.nvim and blink.cmp packages. I'm happy to help guide a PR to add codeshot.
