context.vim VS nvim-navic

There are a couple of plugins that do this.

For vim: https://github.com/wellle/context.vim

For neovim (much higher performance in my experience): https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-context

I believe there's now also a VS code plugin for the same behavior, but I don't know what it's called.

I think that something like this https://github.com/wellle/context.vim is what you are looking for

https://github.com/wellle/context.vim does something very similar to what you are asking for. You can probably tweak it according to your needs.

I've recently started using vscode after using vim for many years, and one thing that I miss is the context.vim plugin which shows the function signature at the top of the screen when you scroll.

context.vim for those not using treesitter

I ran across context.vim https://github.com/wellle/context.vim, which is basically a sticky header, where your cursor is.

This can be done using a statusline plugin like nvim-navic

Zero-depency, yes, this is not another extension of navic. It does not even depends on nvim-treesitter or nvim-lspconfig, nor do you need to register an 'on_attach' function. as long as treesitter parsers or language servers are intalled correctly, the winbar should start working out of the box

nvim-navic. This option is particularly nice because it also enables using nvim-navbuddy which I have found incredibly useful for navigating large files.

Kudos for writing your first plugin! However, that's a rather poor name choice. There's already a neovim plugin called navi (https://github.com/mattiasbonte/navi.nvim), as well as an old unmaintained vim one (https://github.com/alexvoss/navi), not to mention slight variations like https://github.com/SmiteshP/nvim-navic or https://github.com/taohexxx/navim (the latter again looking unmaintained, but the former being relatively popular).

Just like this? If yes, you can try lspsaga.nvim, nvim-navic, or barbecue.nvim.

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.

Paired with my other plugin nvim-navic this completes the breadcrumbs experience that you would typically find in an IDEs like VScode. I hope you all like it :)

I use global status line (3) and winbar. I use Nvim-navic so that the winbar shows me my current file name highlighted also shows the path and the context.

Could also be https://github.com/SmiteshP/nvim-navic

I was trying to activate some optional plugin and found out that it couldn't be enabled using the mentioned config. I checked the github repository and saw that, for example, `SmiteshP/nvim-navic` is not present there. (link to core plugins list in repo).
