What are your favorite plugins in Neovim?

This is just perfect!! ❤ thanks mister!

Thanks to this video I learned how to enable autocomplete in cmdline, it was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks :)

Hey man I really appreciate your work! Any chance we might get a video on setting up Neovim for Java development? Setting up the Java lsp seems to be pretty difficult. Cheers!

Thank you! I will prioritize that next. Thanks for asking, it has been on my list for quite some time.

great video! how does yours trigger the popup menu just by start typing @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="254">4:14</a>? i have both cmp-path and cmp-buffer but it doesn't menu doesn't get trigger without pressing Tab

[@ascourter]

Thanks! Did you setup github.com/hrsh7th/cmp-cmdline? If that doesn't resolve it then check out my config under lsp.lua, might be a setting in cmp or your LSP config.

[@yuxiang4218]

great video

[@ascourter]

Thanks!

[@TownspersonB]

Do you know if there's a way to have the virtual text at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="130">2:10</a> be dismissed when the cursor is moved or you go into insert mode or something? The only way I know how to get rid of it right now is to open up a new search and then exit the search, and that gets annoying imo.

[@ascourter]

Good question. I only know the way you described. I'll dig into it and see but you might be able to setup an autocommand or keymap.

[@shreyashkhairkar]

This is great. Could we have a tutorial on how to build plugins?

[@ascourter]

Haha that's on my list. I went through creating a Telescope extension to start with something a little smaller than a plugin (kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHTOeGdtrayCopY). Still need to learn a bit more to talk about creating a plugin but it's in the works!

[@richardhernandez8803]

You mentioned noice centering it and avoid a crick in your neck. Have you tried setting scrolloff = 999 It keeps the cursor centered in the page

[@ascourter]

I don't believe I've tried that yet. Thanks for sharing!

[@mokied]

Hey, how can you map down arrow to be mapped to the same command as Tab when the autocomplete pop up menu appears in the command line?

[@ascourter]

I believe this should work out of the box with cmp-cmdline but if not you can explicitly set the Down and Up mapping under mappings. Check out this post for an example: github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp/discussions/847#discussioncomment-8901130

[@mokied]

@@ascourter Cool, thanks. Seem like a hella-complex solution but it worked 💪🏻

[@mokied]

@@ascourter I guess the better solution is to just get used to the Ctrl+p/n keybindings

[@ravipratapmishra7013]

My issue regarding noice is, sometimes I want to dismiss the messages but I want to use escape as my key binding now to use escape I want to know when noice is printing some message on the screen so that only in that condition pressing the escape key will dismis the message otherwise it should work as usual, But i don't know how to check that noice is showing message on screen currently.

[@ascourter]

Overloading esc like that seems a bit tricky. What about using leader + Esc? You could then use the dismiss mapping I showed in the video.

[@ravipratapmishra7013]

@@ascourter i tried this one once, i think i should give it more time to embrace it.

do you know how do you get the string searching at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="128">2:08</a>

Does cmdline allow for execution of external binaries? Let’s say simple ‘git add .’

It does! Start with ! and then the command

For git use the plugin fugitive by tpope

unmap default keybindings would be nice

Sorry, not sure what you mean. Unmapping Noice default keybindings?

These are all keymaps for luasnip. All of them are for insert mode and when a snippet is chosen and you want to jump to different locations in the snippet. Hope that helps!
