More senior engineer complains he can’t tell what’s going on in vim
I would recommend installing a plugin like beacon.nvim or similar which flashes the new location of the cursor whenever it makes a jump. That way it's easier for someone to follow where your cursor is, which is often a reason for confusion otherwise.

Plugin Flare.nvim - highlight cursor on jumps
I spent the weekend tinkering with Neovim's virtual text and ended up creating this plugin. It's pretty close to being a clone of beacon.nvim but it's written in Lua. I find cursor highlighting very helpful when working on a large monitor where I inevitably end up with various splits.

Rewrite accelerated-jk and beacon.nvim with Lua
Hello, guys. I have been using accelerated-jk and beacon.nvim for a long time. I think they are very useful and excellent. But, there has been no a complete version of lua. And recently I also want to start writing plug-ins, so here are they. I hope they will be useful to you.

What neovim plugins do you wish existed?
I'm not sure if it's even possible to do something like neovide's animation inside the terminal, but I find this plugin really useful to display where the cursor is after you switch windows https://github.com/DanilaMihailov/beacon.nvim

Your git setup for neovim?
