nvim-gps VS nvim-navic

I've been using winbar.nvim with nvim-gps which depends on treesitter. Unfortunately it's been archived/deprecated but still works fine.

With the deprecation of nvim-gps we are left with LSP's more accurate code context parser nvim-navic or lspsaga. I however only use LSP for like 5 languages as opposed to treesitter since it's just easier to install all language parser

and nvim-navic or in this projects case it is its predecessor - nvim-gps

I currently use feline.nvim as a framework for creating my custom statusline, and before that I was using galaxyline.nvim. A feature that I would really like though is for each section of the statusline to able to dynamically resize based on the window size, and dissappear if the window gets narrow enough, based on some priority that I give them and some truncation rule. By truncation I mean that for instance a file path could get shortened by pathshorten(), the filetype indicator would only display the devicon and not the filetype name, nvim-gps would only use a depth of 1, etc... This behaviour would be defined by the user, but the framework would calculate which components to truncate in order to fit as many as possible in the priority that the user has chosen for each component.

I've added a pull request to support json https://github.com/SmiteshP/nvim-gps/pull/41

This can be done using a statusline plugin like nvim-navic

Zero-depency, yes, this is not another extension of navic. It does not even depends on nvim-treesitter or nvim-lspconfig, nor do you need to register an 'on_attach' function. as long as treesitter parsers or language servers are intalled correctly, the winbar should start working out of the box

nvim-navic. This option is particularly nice because it also enables using nvim-navbuddy which I have found incredibly useful for navigating large files.

Kudos for writing your first plugin! However, that's a rather poor name choice. There's already a neovim plugin called navi (https://github.com/mattiasbonte/navi.nvim), as well as an old unmaintained vim one (https://github.com/alexvoss/navi), not to mention slight variations like https://github.com/SmiteshP/nvim-navic or https://github.com/taohexxx/navim (the latter again looking unmaintained, but the former being relatively popular).

Just like this? If yes, you can try lspsaga.nvim, nvim-navic, or barbecue.nvim.

I also use ]m, but it’s not a very good way to choose and move to functions quickly and with intention. Options include aerial.nvim, symbols-outline.nvim, and the new nvim-navbuddy, from the developer who made nvim-navic.

Paired with my other plugin nvim-navic this completes the breadcrumbs experience that you would typically find in an IDEs like VScode. I hope you all like it :)

I use global status line (3) and winbar. I use Nvim-navic so that the winbar shows me my current file name highlighted also shows the path and the context.

I was trying to activate some optional plugin and found out that it couldn't be enabled using the mentioned config. I checked the github repository and saw that, for example, `SmiteshP/nvim-navic` is not present there. (link to core plugins list in repo).
