indent-blankline.nvim VS indentLine

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

https://github.com/lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim complements further.

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.

Before my emacs days, I used nvim with this package called indentLine. Basically it displays (maybe semi-transparent?) vertical lines for same indentation levels . It's visually helpful when I'm in python code.

If I understood your question and you don't mind adding a plugin, Yggdroot/indentLine might be what you're looking for.

I saw this on github: https://github.com/Yggdroot/indentLine but it's last bug fix was 2 years ago with 71 open issues.

(For example, in vim, I use https://github.com/Yggdroot/indentLine, but in nvim, I use https://github.com/lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim.)

If you use tabs for indentation check out :h 'list' and :h 'listchars'. If you use spaces there is the indentline plugin (or indent-blankline if you're using neovim).

If your file is saved as a particular language that supports indentation, it will automatically indent lines for you but it cannot be reliable. So, we need to IndentLine, and others as well.
