New plugins {#new-plugins}
mini.bracketed
A mini.bracketed module of mini.nvim implements functionality and mappings
to go forward/backward with square brackets. This is a Lua evolution of
tpope/vim-unimpaired with much more targets:
| Target | Mappings |
|---|---|
| Buffer | [B [b ]b ]B |
| Comment block | [C [c ]c ]C |
| Conflict marker | [X [x ]x ]X |
| Diagnostic | [D [d ]d ]D |
| File on disk | [F [f ]f ]F |
| Indent change | [I [i ]i ]I |
| Jump from jumplist inside current buffer | [J [j ]j ]J |
| Location from location list | [L [l ]l ]L |
| Old files | [O [o ]o ]O |
| Quickfix entry from quickfix list | [Q [q ]q ]Q |
| Tree-sitter node and parents | [T [t ]t ]T |
| Undo states from specially tracked linear history | [U [u ]u ]U |
| Window in current tab | [W [w ]w ]W |
| Yank selection replacing latest put region | [Y [y ]y ]Y |
tsnode-marker.nvim
Mark treesitter node to enhance context changes in your buffer, like change backgrounds on following nodes. It supports:
- Markdown code blocks.
- Functions nested in functions.

papyrus
Pandoc integration for automatic Markdown to PDF compilation for note-taking in Neovim! By @abeleinin.
jupyter-kernel.nvim
There are a lot of plugins out there to help with sending Python code to a REPL, but not a lot of plugins helps extracting the benefit of interactive coding back into Neovim, where your cursor will reside most of the time. This is a simple plugin that wrap-around python package 'jupyter_client' to provide ergonomic workflow that enhance your coding experience with any Jupyter kernels.
It provides two main features at the moment: provide jupyter source for nvim-cmp autocompletion and a command :JupyterInspect to query jupyter kernel information about object under the cursor.
nvim-utils
Interacting with Neovim's lua api in Rust can be a bit of a pain. nvim-utils aims to make it easier and quicker to
develop Neovim plugins in Rust by removing as much of the required boilerplate as possible, and implementing bindings
for the vim.* lua api.
A nice crate by @willothy.
hi-my-words.nvim
A new plugin by @dvoytik that helps to read code by highlighting keywords selected by the user.
blackjam.nvim
The classic Black Jack game brought to Neovim. A refreshing plugin to use on your lunch and coffee break! Made by @alanfortlink.
lazy-loader.nvim
A bunch of functions to lazy load your packer.nvim plugins for you. Written by @thesafdarawan.
smart-splits.nvim
🧠 Smart, directional Neovim and tmux split resizing and navigation. Think about splits in terms of "up/down/left/right".
smart-splits.nvim added support for swapping buffers directionally! Using the same logic as the existing directional window movement and resizing features, swap a window's buffer with the buffer from the window adjacent to it!
Updates {#updates}
netman.nvim
Lua powered Remote Resource Interface
For those who are unfamiliar, Netman is a Framework that provides abstracted access to remote filesystems through a standardized API.
Netman has completed (and merged) its v1.1 update. Below is a nonexhaustive change log from v1.0 to v1.1
- Mostly complete Neo-tree integration (Note, as of current the neo-tree integration is still beta and does not recognize your neo-tree configuration).
- Moving files and directories between hosts (including between docker containers and ssh servers).
- Auto opening your remote "home" directory in ssh.
- A complete rewrite of how "integration" with neovim works.
- A completely new logging system.
- A new event system.
- Updated API Documentation.
- Updated Help Docs.
And there is a ton more! The big thing is that most of the leg work is now done for UI integrations, and quite a bit of documentation was updated for the new changes There is a caveat to this, currently netman does not support asynchronous anything :(
Next Milestone is v1.15 which will consist of some more minor updates to prep for more UI integrations (and maybe more providers? 👀).
murmur.lua
Cursor word highlighting with callbacks included.
The plugin now supports highlighting ranged yanks.
feline.nvim
A minimal, stylish and customizable statusline for Neovim written in Lua.
Last week, the author of feline.nvim announced that
the plugin was discontinued and no longer maintained. This week brings a happier news: its development was moved to
@freddiehaddad! The important thing regarding the original author,
@Famiu, is that they wanted the project to be forked instead of transferring the full
ownership of the project.
You are then advised to make the migration to the new GitHub repository.
