  • A plugin i can’t seem to find!

    Maybe this? nvim-treesitter-refactor
  • Looking for a cursor highlighting plugin posted recently
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 31 Jan 2023
    These days though I'm using the https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-refactor plugin. It goes one step further and only highlights the matches that are in the same scope. Makes a big difference in a lot of programming languages where you use the same variable named in a lot of smaller functions/methods right next to each other.
  • Anything like Blockman in Neovim?
    10 projects | /r/neovim | 14 Dec 2022
    My desires are not sated, but it seems quite nice. (I recall treesitter-refactor has a similar scope highlighter, but it could be a bit aggressive near root scope -- this might be a more gentle version.
  • How to highlight the symbol under the cursor?

  • Very slow input latency for haskell when treesitter highlighting is enabled
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 8 Aug 2022
    Treesitter performance is a hard problem. First, check the following: 1. Do you use nvim_treesitter#foldexpr()? Try not to use foldmethod=expr in insert mode. Or just switch to nvim-ufo. 2. Do you use nvim-treesitter-refactor's highlight_definitions or highlight_current_scope? These features do slower the performance. Try to disable these features. 3. I've heard some language parser is not good in terms of performance. Since I don't write haskell, I can't help you here. But you can create issue in nvim-treesitter.
  • Looking for treesitter-based (but not LSP-based) plugins with commands like "hover documentation"
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 7 Jul 2022
    For instance, with plugins like nvim-treesitter-refactor and ray-x/navigator.lua, you can use a bunch of commands like "go to definition" and "smart rename" without an LSP server.
  • What do you use treesitter for other than highlighting?

  • Is there any plugin to highlight occurences of a value under cursor?
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 17 Feb 2022
    If you have treesitter, you can use nvim-treesitter-refactor. It has the highlight_definitions option that will highlight the definitions of a variable.

    Oh! I've actually never tried Emacs text navigation. My brief stint with Emacs was with Spacemacs (w/ the evil-mode plugin). If I knew any lisp when I had given Spacemacs a whirl then there's a chance I may have stuck with it. I've played with Clojure a bit. Ah, it appears that you're a data-eng -- heavy on the Python. Are you trying to mimic something that PyCharm provides? I'm just happy that LSP has come where it has in such little time and that's already improved working with code in various languages quite a bit. Neovim moves incredibly fast and having LuaJIT with support for Lua had completely opened the floodgates for ports of old Vim plugins and made way for newer ones with floating windows/floating terminals. There are two projects each with hundreds of stars on GitHub meant to mimic or one-up org-mode (one has an entirely new spec) with immense development activity. The one-up that Neovim has over Vim presently is tree-sitter (because the core team wrote a wrapper) and exposes a Lua interface for plugin devs that want to use it. It's been neat for themes and my new favorite find-and-replace plugin (https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-refactor). Because there's type data coming from the AST, it's much less likely to have accidental replacements (if at all). It looks like Emacs is making some headway here, though: https://github.com/emacs-tree-sitter
  • Does anyone have any examples of how to use vim.lsp.util.buf_highlight_references()?
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 16 Dec 2021
    You can also navigate between the highlights using treesitter-refactor: https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-refactor
