    Find, Filter, Preview, Pick. All lua, all the time.

  • In conclusion: if you write programs and want LSP functionality and like Telescope then it's a no brainer, go with neovim. If not and vim is working for you then no need to fix something that isn't broken!

  • which-key.nvim

    💥 Create key bindings that stick. WhichKey is a lua plugin for Neovim 0.5 that displays a popup with possible keybindings of the command you started typing.

  • which-key, which is probably a biggest quality of life improvement in neovim ecosystem. It gives you contextual help for composable commands, like registers, marks and motions. Nobody can use marks or registers to full extent, because nobody is going to hold 30+ of them in their head. But with which-key, you can. Same for motions - many are useful, but you just don't use them often enough to remember them. But with which-key, you can.

  • 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.

  • toggleterm.nvim

    A neovim lua plugin to help easily manage multiple terminal windows

  • better terminal support, and especially toggleterm, which allowed me to drop tmux from my workflow.
