nvim-hlslens VS neovim

Search: nvim-hlslens

I've configured nvim-hlslens as https://github.com/kevinhwang91/nvim-hlslens shown, using Minimal configuration, but I could not achieve what the other has shown in https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/17562139/144654751-0d439610-b913-4e72-b473-e49db3317fab.mp4

That's part of noice.nvim, but you could also use something like https://github.com/kevinhwang91/nvim-hlslens to get a similar effect

kevinhwang91/nvim-hlslens might help with this specific problem

The plugin I found for this function is cmd2.vim: https://github.com/gelguy/Cmd2.vim, but this is from 2015, doesn't really support nvim, and conflicts with nvim-hlslens which I use.

I do use nvim-hlslens to count search result occurence. What's hindering me to use your function right now is hlslens' integration with nvim-scrollbar

nvim-hlslens: shows indexed search using virtual text, better ux than vim-anzu and other similar plugins.

I just recently discovered kevinhwang91/nvim-hlslens, and gave it a go. After a bit I encountered a very specific and annoying bug:

nvim-hlslens: Humanized UI for search results with high performance, I'm the author.

Not exactly about fixing Vim's original match indicator, but from my experience, nvim-hlslens can show the total number of matches even if it's pretty big. I believe it's fine as long as the number is smaller than 100k.

As a software engineer, choosing and understanding your text editor is important part of your work, as it impacts your productivity and workflow efficiency. It's like choosing the perfect tool for any trade - you need to know what tool to use and how to use it effectively if you want to excel. For me, I use Neovim as my editor and I have been using it for a little over a year now.

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack. If you don't have Git, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/downloads

There are several ways to install Neovim. This wiki provides several guidelines on how to install Neovim.

All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.
