nvim-luapad VS leap.nvim

there is this plugin: https://github.com/rafcamlet/nvim-luapad

Ah yes, finally a question I can answer. There is no easy way to do this. This was the first big problem when I started working on: luapad, and I dealt with it, by creating a temporary files, attaching lsp to them, and removed them right away from the file system. But later on it started to cause some problems (can't remember what they were now) so ultimately the temp files are not deleting until neovim is restarted.

I was wondering how the hell you did it. There are no autocmds for window resizing. I was trying to figure this out for preview win for nvim-luapad and I gave up. But this timer idea... aren't there any performances issues?

This is a work in progress, but for 'mini.indentscope' I currently settled on using 'plenary.nvim' with helper for creating full child Neovim processes and testing directly extmarks (source; original idea is from rafcamlet/nvim-luapad). Eventually I plan to convert these helpers and 'plenary.test_harness' into something like 'mini.testing' (but only after yet another ready but being alpha-tested jumping module 'mini.jump2d' :) ). Hope that'll help now.

Hi! I think I have exactly what you are looking for. Check the spec directory in the luapad dev branch https://github.com/rafcamlet/nvim-luapad/tree/dev/specs. I am using RPC to send instructions to another nvim instance and then check the results, restarting it between each test for clear env. It may be a bit messy, but I'm currently working on extracting this logic to a separated plugin.

Here's the other lua/neovim dev plugin I was thinking of that might help testing smaller portions of your code https://github.com/rafcamlet/nvim-luapad

Dude, I like your plugin, but please: do a gif or a video about what this plugin does (nvim-luapad do this and I know exactly what this plugin does)

Also I really like leap.nvim which in my opinion is the best thought out "hop" variation.

Your plugins are great but I haven't tried mini.jump2d. However, compared to hop.nvim I prefer leap.nvim's jumping philosophy because it uses information you already have before starting the jump, and you just have to type one "virtual" character, which in my opinion is a smoother experience.

Here's the repo if you haven't heard about it: https://github.com/ggandor/leap.nvim Otherwise, does anyone know if there are ways to emulate that behavior with existing keybings? And, if all else fails, would you like to see it as a feature request?

leap.nvim absolutely turned my movements and navigation experience in neovim upside down.

I like Leap

Another example. https://github.com/ggandor/leap.nvim Leap provides great paragraphs giving overviews of what it does and why it is designed the way it is, including some compare and contrast with other plugins.

Nice, but you've reinvented the wheel :) https://github.com/goldfeld/vim-seek -> https://github.com/justinmk/vim-sneak -> https://github.com/ggandor/leap.nvim
