indent-blankline.nvim VS impatient.nvim

Compared to the feature-rich plugins, this simple implementation has many drawbacks, such as not displaying indent guides on empty lines. I think its only advantage might be its extreme simplicity. Yes, I pursue minimalism so I wrote this piece of code. For a better (maybe best) and more comprehensive experience, please check indent-blankline.nvim.

Hi, I am wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to set background highlight opacity. The reason I want to do this is because I have a partially transparent background in my terminal and I would like to set highlights for indent blankline. I have tried using the `blend` option for the highlights but I think it only works for popup menus and windows?

you're better off relying on the plugin author to add per-filetype/buffer options to disable the functionality of the plugin, for example if the plugin in question is indent-blankline.nvim then you can set g:indent_blankline_enabled to false and within that function you mention, you can set b:indent_blankline_enabled to true.

i think it's indent-blankline

I think he meant the indent guides? In which case the best plugin is https://github.com/lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim

You are looking for the indent-blankline plugin

I use indent-blankline.nvim for them, which is also supported by my plugin.

You could use impatient.nvim or the new vim.loader module if you’re on nightly. Both work really well. I used impatient for a long time and it reduced my startup time by half. I’m using vim.loader now and it reduces it by about the same amount

The 20-30 ms promise depends on your hardware. In my case, vanilla Neovim takes about 18 ms to startup, so a realistic good startup time for my config is around 50-60 ms. Lines of code isn’t a great reference either because you could just lazy load a bunch of plugins and have more LoC but still better startup times. What I would recommend is using lazy.nvim or if you wanna stick with packer, then pairing it with impatient.nvim .

automatically caches all startup code before :h VimEnter or :h BufReadPre (basically what impatient.nvim does)

there is an amazing plugin called impatient.nvim that cache a lot of stuff and make other pluggins go so fast !

Try installing https://github.com/lewis6991/impatient.nvim first.

:lua vim.pretty_print(vim.mpack.decode(vim.mpack.encode({some = { thing = false }}))) used by impatient.nvim

Did you defined your [[ and ]] mappings in that file or just created it? the after directory runs at the end of your config so you can override this kind of settings. Maybe you are using impatient.nvim? From their README:

Are you using impatient.nvim? It caches lua modules. My startuptime with 72 plugins (including it) and zero lazy loading is 600ms.
