overseer.nvim VS bufferline.nvim

When working on multiple projects it might be useful to define some local configuration that should be automatically loaded. This e.g. includes customized LSP configuration or adding build tasks for task runner plugins like overseer.nvim. To do that you can create .nvim.lua in your project directory and define your local settings there.

I use https://github.com/stevearc/overseer.nvim, a task/job runner kinda like the one in VS Code. You can run your builds, tests, lints, etc. with it.

overseer.nvim

There's overseer.nvim to run all sorts of things and neotest to run tests. In general, you can check awesome-neovim or TWiN to look for plugins.

Here's an example of how to configure your vim_ui_select picker for the amazing task managing plugin overseer.nvim!

I use overseer for this https://github.com/stevearc/overseer.nvim

I would like to call out that "make compiler plugins async" sounds like a simple change, but quickly becomes quite complex. Let's say you do an async :make, now you have a background process. How do you cancel it? How do you view the output? Can you hide it and then come back to it? Can you run more than one at a time? Can you view all running tasks? If you want to have only very basic controls you could do what vim-dispatch is doing, but I personally don't think it's very good. I think any solution shy of VS Code style tasks control will be insufficient, but I think the appetite for adding something that complex to core Neovim is quite low. That said, this (and more) is something I really wanted, which is why I wrote overseer.nvim

I still can't get testing and debugging tests down, so I am going back to intellij or goland to do that. I have been at it for about 3 weeks now. I spent so much time setting up my config. haha. Having said that, I really like Overseer https://github.com/stevearc/overseer.nvim

So, I'm using bufferline and I want to setup some highlight colors based on the current Neovim theme (light or dark). While Neovim is working, if I run :lua print(vim.o.background) effectively gives me light or dark according to the current Neovim theme. BUT, doing so in the plugin's configuration does not work:

if you use bufferline you can override with: lua options = { offsets = { { filetype = "NvimTree", text = "File Explorer", text\_align = "center" } } }

I’m not familiar with Nvchad but I’m sure they’re using some kind of plugin that show buffers as tabs, you could try something like bufferline.nvim

there are many ways to achieve that. i recommend bufferline.

🧩 Works with any plugin. Check Show and Tell for snippets to integrate even better with plugins like neo-tree.nvim, bufferline.nvim

Left and right arrows to switch between buffers. I used to pair this with giving every buffer its own tab, but now I just use Bufferline which functions similarly.

I'm currently using bufferline.nvim with scope.nvim. I made a github repo with the modifications and credits to Everblush, but I'm not sure if it's allowed, since Everblush doesn't have a License. If It's not allowed, then I'll just delete the repo and forke the Everblush repo.

I used bufferline https://github.com/akinsho/bufferline.nvim

I believe this bug was fixed in bufferline.nvim's PR#727.
