statuscol.nvim VS which-key.nvim

Especially for the appearance such as the fold icons, you can tweak it via statuscol.nvim or change neovim source code (no worries just a few lines) and build it by yourself, and please refer to this issue for details.

I just installed and configured statuscol.nvm. Everything is working great, however it's using a different highlight group for line numbers on lines where the text has been edited. I've tried many ways to find the highlight group that needs to be fixed, but I just can't find it. Is there a way to get the highlight group used in the statuscolumn?

I know that https://github.com/luukvbaal/statuscol.nvim has click handlers in case that code could help

2) Neovim offers that by default (although it isn't very sexy). We call that folding. You can use za, zo, zc to toggle (alternate), open and close folds respectively. There are built-in mappings to open and close all folds and so on (check :h zo). If you want to use your mouse though, you can also configure that using this plugin. I mentioned it isn't very sexy because, by default, folds aren't highlighted (something you can achieve with this plugin).

If you want to add a dependency to your config and use Neovim 0.9 or later, you can use statuscol.nvim.

Yes, my bad. I am using gitsigns, though I tried to set up statuscol.nvim without much success.

I see on your screenshot that you are manually handling file types with the statuscol plugin in order to hide the status column. That is fixed now and the plugin itself should do it correctly.

what aboug making a plugin or extend https://github.com/luukvbaal/statuscol.nvim ?

There is a well known plugin for neovim to do this kind of behavior. You can even create your own hotkeys into that plugin and will help you navigate and memorize different hotkeys for the editor. The plugin is called whichkey, and this is their github https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim

The menu most certainly comes from folke/which-key.nvim. Take a look into part of your config which sets it up.

By default, most of nvim packages have WhichKey plugin which shows popup with available commands. For instance, you press space or g and what for a second:

One of the recent innovations in the Vim space that I've appreciated a lot is which-key by folke for Neovim: https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim

It makes keybindings in vim discoverable, it's quite magical. For example, press g and get a table of all the various commands that follow from there. Press mapleader and get a table of various commands from there, etc.

>The problem with that is that for some rarely used action one forgets...

Install https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim and you will always have a popup that will tell you what keys to use next.

https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim - it's like a cheat sheet in neovim!

folke/which-key.nvim will help with you with your key maps.

I recently started actively using which-key plugin that shows the contents of all registers when pressing ".

3) I'd recommend using Telescope, more specifically, :Telescope keympas. There's also which-key, which might be more intuitive, but I haven't used it.
