nvim-scrollview VS vim-smoothie

For scroll bar, try nvim-scrollview

Nice. I was using dstein64/nvim-scrollview for scrollbar, but I am now tempted to switch to this one for search/gitsign integration.

Here are a few ideas to help: - Make sure your cursor stands out and is easy to find - Briefly explain windows, the status bar, and the tab bar, and make sure he knows that the file names are indicated at the BOTTOM of a window in the status bar - Make sure you have line numbers turned on and perhaps use this scrollbar plugin https://github.com/dstein64/nvim-scrollview so he knows where in a file you are - Explain what you are doing constantly, especially if the screen appears to be changing all of a sudden e.g., when you are scrolling up/down, jumping to the next search match, jumping through the jump list, jumping to a code symbol, navigating to a new file, opening up a file explorer, opening a fuzzy finder, opening a terminal, etc.

Virtual text. Diagnostics/linters are the obvious use case here, but there are other clever uses that plugin authors can use this for. (indent-blankline, nvim-scrollview, ...)

I use neoscroll for smooth scrolling and if you want a scrollbar then use this https://github.com/dstein64/nvim-scrollview

As of 79797a0, this workaround and a few others are now applied automatically. Workarounds that would clobber existing customizations are not applied.

I tried various ways to approximate WinScrolled, including usage of CursorMoved, but was unsatisfied with the options I tried. I documented some of the issues here. I recall also encountering an issue in Vim where the popup window for the scrollbar would occasionally become the active window, but I didn't spend much time debugging that, having switched to developing the plugin for Neovim.

dirbuf.nvim (or oil.nvim), the genius thing is that it is really just one mapping, plus stuff you already know. Foke's todo-comments.nvim is another typical one, but you're probably aware of that if using Noice. Smooth scrolling plugins? My favourite for some reason is still vim-smoothie, not the Lua alternatives.

My goal is to try to make something like vim-smoothie in emacs. I want to make this scroll line by line, instead of by pixel with pixel-scroll-mode because that just makes it laggy, and not smooth at all.

I can reccomend practicing using D and U to move around to see if you get more used to it, but there's also the vim-smoothie plugin which might make the scrolling easier to follow. Some other usefull ways of moving around are using { and } to move by paragraph (i.e. to next blank line), [[, [], ][ and ]] which move to the start or end of c-style functions. You might also want to try out a fuzzy finder such as vim-fzf or nvim-telescope where you can use :Rg or :Telescope live-grep respectively where you can start typing part of a line and see a list of the lines that fit alongside a preview window

I installed a plug-in that animates my scrolling. I’m not sure if it’s https://github.com/psliwka/vim-smoothie or something comparable (on phone so I can’t check right now). It also shows what’s going on in a more visual way. It’s hypothetically slower since it wastes frames, but I’m used to it now.

> And smooth scrolling works on regular neovim with https://github.com/psliwka/vim-smoothie

Doesn't 'smooth scrolling' mean scrolling in increments less than a full line, to avoid the janky jarring jump from one line to the next?

I don't get how you can do smooth scrolling in a terminal interface? The screenshots in that link aren't smooth - they jump whole lines at a time.

That is where this type of plugin can help with that: https://github.com/psliwka/vim-smoothie

Very sexy for reading stuff (like help)

Wanna add some coconut oil to your c-u/c-d? use psliwka/vim-smoothie for some smooooooth ups and downs. Really helps you keep focus and reduce the need to reorient after the jump.
