  • fzf-lua

    Improved fzf.vim written in lua

  • Telescope or FzfLua to fuzzy search the highlights and see their definitions with :Telescope highlights or :FzfLua highlights

  • playground

    Discontinued Treesitter playground integrated into Neovim (by nvim-treesitter)

  • I’m not aware of something that does exactly that but what you can do is use treesitter playground to get the current context and then search for it in your color scheme (E.g. you could tell if an object is recognized as Function and then search for the function highlight).
