  • vscode-blockman

    VSCode extension to highlight nested code blocks

    Very different in my eyes, but I love nvim-treesitter-context. Definitely another tool in helping the brain parse code -- I think of it as helping with long range context, whereas blockman helps me focus on local context and makes scoping relationships more subconciously available.

  • nvim-treesitter-context

    Show code context

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • twilight.nvim

    🌅 Twilight is a Lua plugin for Neovim 0.5 that dims inactive portions of the code you're editing using TreeSitter.

    How about this: folke/twilight.nvim, this is what it can achieve (while again, I wouldn't call this a block). Also, a bullet-proof(stable) plugin made by a good author.

  • indent-blankline.nvim

    Indent guides for Neovim

    The only plugin I'm familiar with is lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim, which I'm grateful to have, but doesn't seem up to the task. (at least at first blush -- I haven't been able to get it to context highlight properly in most code -- though I wonder if it wouldn't be morphable into a blocking scope highlighter).

  • hl_match_area.nvim

    Neovim plugin that allows highlighting the whole area between matching delimiters ('{}' '[]' '()' '<>')

    It's not exactly what you're looking for, but, I use this one: https://github.com/rareitems/hl_match_area.nvim

  • nvim-treesitter-refactor

    Refactor module for nvim-treesitter

    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.
