  • New input method

    similar to hydra?
  • New plugin: Notebook Navigator - Execute and manipulate code cells a la VSCode

  • Your favourite Neovim plugins?

    Possibly hydra, which everything from submodes to a more customized which-key. Works really well for making a telescope menu or a DAP mode.
  • How to re perform last key strokes?
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 11 May 2023
    The other way, that I use for some navigation functions is using hydra.nvim. You can basically create little 'submodes' to group related functionality with quicker mappings. Like after [hjkl] you can just hit hjkl to keep moving around, and then hitting esc or just any key not in the submode to leave it.
  • Is there any generic, simple way to close floating windows created by Neovim?
    1 project | /r/neovim | 30 Apr 2023
    I use this function to exclude the currently focused floating window and ignore floating windows of some plugins (in this case only the popup from hydra.nvim is ignored):
  • Introducing stackmap.nvim
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 24 Apr 2023
    There is also https://github.com/anuvyklack/keymap-layer.nvim used by https://github.com/anuvyklack/hydra.nvim
  • mini.nvim - release of version 0.8.0
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 2 Apr 2023
    This suggestion and similar (like [[ and ]] to repeat latest target) did come up. I feel like that is the "responsibility" of something like anuvyklack/hydra.nvim or the (some time eventually) planned 'mini.nvim' alternative.
  • Question regarding vertical movement
    8 projects | /r/neovim | 12 Mar 2023
    I installed hop but can't get used to it and just hold j/k/W/B as someone commented higher. Btw, for plaintext files this can be useful, even without hydra: https://github.com/anuvyklack/hydra.nvim/wiki/Quick-words
  • Neovim version of tpope/vim-repeat
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 2 Mar 2023
    Of course, each case is different, but for making repeatable mappings there is anuvyklack/hydra.nvim. Or in some cases you can avoid this by choosing appropriate mappings (like Ctrl + arrows for window resizing which doesn't require repeating several keystrokes for a single operation).
  • Keymap hints while typing commands?
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 2 Mar 2023
    I don't quite know what I am looking at in your screenshot (I haven't used emacs either though), but I use hydra.nvim and I can get a similar end result with it
