  • Authors: how do you make your plugin discoverable and appealing?

    Duplicated idea, while it is true that your plugin does center buffer without hiding tabline or statusline, I can do the same in true-zen with 2 lines of configuration). In this case what I would want to strike for is making a very simple script.

    Have you considered using neovim with the [TrueZen plugin](https://github.com/Pocco81/TrueZen.nvim)? I threw that into NVChad and it turned into a very nice writing experience for me. YMMV.
  • TrueZen.nvim and gitsigns.nvim not working together?
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 23 Mar 2022
    At first I thougt, that this is due to the colorscheme I use (github-nvim-theme). There is the issue, that when I want to disable Ataraxis-mode, it throws an error and basically the whole Neovim-session is screwed (disabled ui-elements not being reenabled).

    TrueZen.nvim - seems to be a bit bloated and overkill for what it aims to be, a bunch of different modes and dozens of configurations options
  • What is the Proper Way to Enter a New Mode in a Hook? Also Lua Question

    My second question is a bit more... complicated? I use TrueZen and honestly love it it works perfectly and the developer is awesome and always up for adding some neat things like including the ability to set quit to either quit or toggle, but I ran into one issue I can't seem to resolve with it. This may be a bit complicated so if I describe this incorrectly please let me know. TrueZen has built-in methods for toggle supported statuslines like lualine, but does not always toggle non-supported statuslines. I made a pull request about this, but as I got distracted and busy with uni I accidentally abandoned it (I apologies I know people doing that can be annoying). The pull request however did have some helpful information though, it seems what I need to do is create a custom function that toggles my statusline... but I don't know how. If you review the request here you can see a better more detailed explanation. From what I can tell, as someone who doesn't fully understand vim or lua, I need to create a function call, say togglel_my_statusline, and then call that function in true_zen.after_mode_ataraxis_on = function (). So I did some document reading figured out I could simply do opt.laststatus = 0 and as I simply set opt.statusline this should disable the statusline. I then simply created this

    So as not to mention top plug-ins that are just beautiful and make NeoVim useable (tree-sitter, native LSP, nvim-compe, ...), I'll mention one that's very useful for ricing: TreuZen.nvim.
