  • What neovim plugins do you wish existed?
    21 projects | /r/neovim | 13 Feb 2021
    Simple, nvim port of https://github.com/fischerling/vis-spellcheck . I have started something at https://github.com/mcepl/nvim-spellcheck, but I have not enough time to do anything about it. I am strong supporter of https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/12064 and anything which makes me able to get rid of that blasted internal spellchecker is a plus in my books.

  • Set it and forget it plugins?

    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.
  • Need help structuring code for an attempt at smooth scrolling
    1 project | /r/emacs | 19 Mar 2023
    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.
  • How can I get over the beginner's hump and move around faster?
    6 projects | /r/vim | 17 Sep 2022
    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
  • More senior engineer complains he can’t tell what’s going on in vim
    6 projects | /r/vim | 15 Jul 2022
    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.

    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.

    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.
