limelight.vim VS ctrlp.vim

F10: Toggles Limelight on or off.

In case you can't find anything that does the same there's https://github.com/junegunn/limelight.vim which could be adapted to give the same effect

This feels real similar in concept to limelight and goyo. Nice! 👍🏻

goyo and limelight are also really useful plugins that work well together to create a nice environment for writing.

Two years ago, I did nanowrimo in Vim with a whole suite of plugins:

- https://github.com/preservim/vim-pencil

- https://github.com/junegunn/goyo.vim.git

- https://github.com/junegunn/limelight.vim.git

- https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki

It was fun, and the setup is almost identical to iA Writer which I appreciate. I even had it all on my phone with Termux!

Last year I just did it in Markdown in VSCode in "zen mode" which also worked pretty well. It was definitely easier to setup than Vim and had better highlighting of bold/italics/etc.

I can recommend Goyo and limelight together. Goyo hides lines further away and centers the text, limelight removes syntax highlighting from other paragraphs except the current one. So you have a simple, distraction free workspace

I guess goyo.vim + limelight.vim would help do the same. But at the end of the day, still means reaching for the mouse, dragging some borders around, etc.

If you like Goyo, you might like limelight, which does pretty much what you're looking for.

After having added ( set t_Co=256, as per https://github.com/junegunn/limelight.vim/issues/49 ) to my vimrc and sourcing it works now.

But I mostly use ctrlp when I work with projects. A can recommend vim-ripgrep too, it lets you find strings/patterns in your project files.

You may find something like ctrlp useful. Some sort of fuzzy definition search.

My basic vim workflow is that I open vim, which opens NerdTree for me by default. I can find the file I want in NerdTree, or I can hit Ctrl+p to open a file with fuzzy searching.

I'd personally suggest ctrlp.vim: https://github.com/ctrlpvim/ctrlp.vim

ctrlp.vim - Fuzzy File Opener (req)

There's also some relevant plugins: - ctrlpvim/ctrlp.vim: Active fork of kien/ctrlp.vim—Fuzzy file, buffer, mru, tag, etc finder. - vijaymarupudi/nvim-fzf: A Lua API for using fzf in neovim. - nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim: Find, Filter, Preview, Pick. All lua, all the time. - gelguy/wilder.nvim: A more adventurous wildmenu

I have set the line let g:ctrlp_working_path_mode = 'r' and according to the GitHub repo it should allow Ctrl-P to do its searches in the whole project I'm in but it doesn't. It stop at the files opened by Neovim. Did I misunderstood the purpose of the plugin, or a I doing something wrong ?

i use ctrlp.vim
