Easy access to nvim options
DEPRECATED: This plugin was meant as a PoC. I don't have time to maintain it and
since https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/6288 has been merged, I expect
plugin authors to leverage it. It's not at feature parity yet (November 2020)
but will be soon, https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim can fuzzy
search options via :Telescope vim_options.
nvim-palette
Change nvim options at runtime without remembering their name ! nvim-palette will fuzzy-search the option depending on your description and help you change it (automatic toggling of boolean options for instance).
Installation
This is a remote plugin, it won't work in vim.
As dependancies, you need pandas (to load ./data/options.mpack) and fzf:
- python -mpip install --user pandas
- Installation in neovim with vim-plug:
Plug 'junegunn/fzf' " if not installed already
Plug 'teto/nvim-palette', { 'do': ':UpdateRemotePlugins'}
Configuration
Once installed, run the command :Palette to see the plugin in action.
The plugin is still rough/slow and is more a PoC than a production-ready plugin.
I hope someone with more time can either submit PRs or fork it
See :h palette for more details.
Settings are loaded from the file options.mpack generated via this PR
# Todo
There are many ways to improve the plugin: - filter settings according to scope (global/buffer/window)
- print the Switch ON/OFF in color (via colorama?)
- accept more entries
- List mappings and their description
- ~~Add menu entries (like those defined for gvim)~~
- ...and their translations (in runtime/lang/menu_* for instance. with gettext)
- optimization, it's a bit of a PoC, performance wasn't a concern
- work with denite/ctrlp
The entries of the plugin are currently parsed from options.csv, a file generated by some custom scripts parsing neovim's help and options.lua. One of the objective is to make these scripts/information (setting description) easier to get in general.
