kreative

Kreative is a minimalistic approach to generating colorschemes for end users. You only need to provide 8 colors, alongside some boilerplate code, inside a regular colorscheme file in /colors to generate a colorscheme for you. Kreative does all the work generating shades based on them. It even comes with 16 color support alongside terminal output for 4 popular terminals! Meaning you can take your colorscheme just about anywhere in the terminal world.

Updates {#updates}

legendary.nvim

A legend for your keymaps, commands, and autocmds, with which-key.nvim integration.

legendary.nvim

legendary.nvim now supports "frecency" sorting, a combined measure of how frequently and how recently you've used an item.

AstroNvim

AstroNvim is an aesthetic and feature-rich Neovim config that is extensible and easy to use with a great set of plugins .

AstroNvim v2.9.0 now has out of the box debugger (nvim-dap + nvim-dap-ui) with automatic setup (mason.nvim and mason-nvim-dap.nvim)! (mac and *nix only for now).

grapple.nvim

Grapple is a plugin that aims to provide immediate navigation to important files (and its last known cursor location) by means of persistent file tags within a project scope. Tagged files can be bound to a keymap or selected from within an editable popup menu.

The plugin received a large update lately in its v0.5.1 release. Among the new things:

  • Setup is now optional!

  • Project scopes are now saved as individual files, instead of one large JSON blob. This means:

    • Project scopes can be loaded lazily; only the scopes used within a neovim session are loaded.
    • Load times should always be fast since a user will only tag a few files per project scope.
    • It's as easy as deleting a file in order to cleanup old / unused project scopes (automatic pruning is in the works).
    • Unlike harpoon, grapple should not see performance degradation over time.

  • New git_branch scope that can save your tags to a specific git repo and branch. Useful if you use git worktrees.

  • New project Scope API for custom scope resolution. This means:

    • For example, users who do not use git can define their own custom scope resolution.

  • Project scopes are now cached by default. This means:

    • A project scope will only be updated when necessary (i.e. a specific autocmd event is triggered).

  • Project scopes can be asynchronously determined (i.e. git_branch).

A nice update!

bob

A version manager for Neovim.

bob

Version v1.2.1 was released! Among the changes:

  • Code & Error handling improvements.
  • New AUR package bob which builds bob directly from source:
