indent-blankline.nvim VS tree-sitter

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.

I learned from a google search that these days upstream tree-sitter provides WebAssembly bindings.

Source: https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/tree/master/lib/b...

NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/web-tree-sitter

Download from the latest Github release: js file (https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/releases/download...) and wasm file (https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/releases/download...)

Tree-sitter optimizes for performance (to use in editors), not for correctness. In fact even TS' core developers advocate for not bothering too much with correctness of grammars[1]. I imagine this constraint would be a deal-breaker for GitHub or anyone else in their position.

This is a plugin that provides a simple way to use the tree-sitter in Neovim and also provides functionalities like highlighting, etc.

From the tree-sitter side, I am tracking https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/issues/1942

Is tree-sitter really slower than TextMate grammars? Some benchmarks indicate that this isn't really the case [1]. On the other hand, breaking parse trees is a real issue, because the error-recovery in tree-sitter is pretty rudimentary [2][3], but as you said, it's not an issue for Shiki.

Several TextMate grammars suffer from inaccuracy bugs, and issues of maintainability. Perhaps the biggest hindrance in the adoption of tree-sitter, is that the most popular editor, VSCode, still doesn't support it.

u/lewis6991 I think the biggest performance gain was made by tree-sitter itself: https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/pull/2085

I asked on the repo's discussions but responses are limited and not explanatory (I'm not shaming anyone here, discussions aren't a place for detailed how-tos and documentations anyway).

The following discussion here. TS query cannot be incremental, that is why I regard it as design fault.

Hi, so I've recently decided to give Neovim yet another try, this time using some predefined plugins with kickstart.nvim, for syntax it uses tree-sitter.
