Neovim Spaghetti - LSP Servers, Linters, Formatters, and Treesitter

To make the most of Neovim it’s useful to understand the technologies it can leverage, how the various plugins that manage these technologies relate to one another, and how they can be installed and configured. In this article we’ll attempt to untangle the Neovim plugin spaghetti that turns Neovim into a more featureful modern editor.

Special: appreciation post

As author of This Week in Neovim, I (@phaazon) was pleased to read such a post on Reddit. The community is growing fast and we can all congragulate ourselves for the new plugins and existing ecosystem that is thriving.

Give it up for the plugin authors — and yourself if you are one! — and don’t hesitate to drop a comment in the aforementioned Reddit post thread! I also use the opportunity of that post to mention that plugin authors are highly encouraged to open pull-requests to the content repository of This Week in Neovim in order to help me continue providing weekly updates!

TreeSJ

TreeSJ

Neovim plugin for splitting/joining blocks of code like arrays, hashes, statements, objects, dictionaries, etc. Written in Lua using tree-sitter.

Inspired by and partly repeats the functionality of splitjoin.vim.

Features:

  • Can be called from anywhere in the block: no need to move cursor to specified place to split/join block of code.
  • Make cursor sticky: the cursor follows the text on which it was called.
  • Autodetect mode: toggle-mode present. Split or join blocks by same key mapping.
  • Do it recursively: expand or collapse all nested nodes? Yes, you can.
  • Recognize nested languages: filetype doesn't matter, detect language with treesitter.

Created by @Wansmer.

twoslash-queries.nvim

zone.nvim

zone.nvim

A set of screensavers for Neovim! One is special and coming back from the realm of your worst nightmares: will it hit the angle? Will it not? You will sit and wait to see. Nice work @tamton-aquib! 👏

cellular-automaton.nvim

This plugin is special. It’s not useful as it won’t help improve your productivity or leverage some new API. But it does something pretty cool: it transforms the meaning of your text into a cellular automaton. You can literally break your code now! Fantastic work by @Eandrju.

AsciiTree.nvim

AsciiTree.nvim

Converts selected text into an ASCII tree using the :AsciiTree command. Inspired by the VSCode Ascii Tree Generator plugin. Made by @xorid.

duck.nvim

A simple plugin to easily manage Neovim buffers.

The plugin received a few features proposed by some users:

Nice work!
