aerial.nvim VS syntax-tree-surfer

I tried aerial.nvim the other day and it's pretty cool. Haven't tried lspsaga yet so I'm not sure if it fits the same purpose.

I am using aerial found here and I really like it except that when I press a function, it doesn't close the window. And I had thought I fixed it with

I am referring to the aerial plugin found [here[(https://github.com/stevearc/aerial.nvim)

I use https://github.com/stevearc/aerial.nvim, it knows which is the current function. I currently open the telescope display and just press "enter", but AerialPrev would work just as well.

First one could be lualine and Aerial.

I also use ]m, but it’s not a very good way to choose and move to functions quickly and with intention. Options include aerial.nvim, symbols-outline.nvim, and the new nvim-navbuddy, from the developer who made nvim-navic.

This would be amazing if i could open it in a buffer beside (or under...?) my current. Something akin to aerial.nvim.

Yup! Aerial.nvim supports man pages, LSP, treesitter, and markdown for outlining

AstroNvim is using aerial.nvim which is a great code outline plugin. It has several supported backends on top of LSP and Treesitter it also supports Man page structure and Markdown structure explicitly. We also use the API for building the breadcrumbs at the top of each window as well!

Your config, tree-surfer or nvim-treesitter-textobjects follow nodes using the syntax tree. Go to parent / child / next siblings ect....

Cool stuff. It might be worth adding this one to a comparison/alternatives list: https://github.com/ziontee113/syntax-tree-surfer

The closest to "treesitter-powered jumps" plugin I know is ziontee113/syntax-tree-surfer. Don't use it personally, but video demos look cool.

treesitter / neovim:

different code block indicators styles : https://github.com/lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim#with-...

collapse / expand / navigate between code blocks : https://github.com/stevearc/aerial.nvim

not exactly colorize, but can customize to just show iteration / loop processes : https://github.com/ziontee113/syntax-tree-surfer

I personally use it for an outline window for my code (aerial.nvim) and quick-selecting code blocks (nvim-treesitter-textsubjects). I've also seen but not used syntax-tree-surfer for code navigation/manipulation and refactoring.nvim for performing refactoring operations. You could also check out awesome-neovim and ctrl-f for "treesitter", though there are many other plugins out there either not on that list or that don't explicitly mention treesitter in their description.

I published syntax-tree-surfer a while ago didn't know that anyone will be interested to use it. Turns out people do enjoy what I do. When I was in school I didn't feel like I mattered to other people. Now I feel like I do, there are people out there that cares about me, giving me help, advices, etc.. It's just really amazing!

I admit, the functionality is blatantly similar to syntax-tree-surfer, but tree-climber should work also in files with comments as well (unfortunately, I could not make syntax-tree-surfer work in my neovim setup at all).

Plugin: https://github.com/ziontee113/syntax-tree-surfer

You can use syntax-tree-surfer to select the parent.
