legendary.nvim

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

legendary.nvim

legendary.nvim now supports an in-place filter syntax when defining keymaps! This is mainly useful when you want to register keymaps that come from plugins which are only active on special filetypes or other conditions. There are special filter keys for filetype and buftype, but you can also pass an arbitrary filter function.

For example, to register nvim-tree.lua keymaps with legendary.nvim, you can define the keymap like this:

{
  '<C-v>',
  description 'Open file under cursor in a vertical split',
  filters = {
    -- only show this keymap if the current filetype is NvimTree
    filetype = 'NvimTree',
  },
},

Here's another example showing all the types of filtering you can use:

{
  '<leader>s',
  description = 'My custom keymap',
  filters = {
    -- filetype and buftype can both be a string
    -- or a list of strings
    filetype = { 'ThisFiletype', 'OrThisFiletype' },
    buftype = 'nofile',
    -- Custom filter function receives the item being filtered
    -- and a context table as parameters
    function(item, context)
      return context.filetype == 'SomeFileType' and context.mode == 'v'
    end
  },
},

Changes to the mason.nvim package registry

mason.nvim is a portable package manager for Neovim that runs everywhere Neovim runs. Easily install and manage LSP servers, DAP servers, linters, and formatters.

The core package registry for mason.nvim is being migrated to https://github.com/mason-org/mason-registry. This will be an entirely seamless migration, with no action required by users.
