backseat.nvim

backseat.nvim

Backseat uses GPT to highlight and explain code readability issues under each line of code.

Run :Backseat to send the current buffer to the OpenAI API for gpt-3.5-turbo or gpt-4, which responds with line numbers and their matching issues/suggestions. The plugin then highlights those lines with sign column icons and virtual text.

You can also do :BackseatAsk <question> to ask the AI a question about the current buffer, such as :BackseatAsk Can you identify any issues in redo()?.

You can get an API key with a free OpenAI account, and after free credits run out, usage of gpt-3.5-turbo though the OpenAI API currently costs ~$0.004 per 100 lines of code used with backseat.

This is my first time writing a plugin or using lua, issues and PRs welcome!

smart-splits.nvim

🧠 Smart, directional Neovim and tmux/wezterm/kitty split resizing and navigation. Think about splits in terms of "up/down/left/right".

smart-splits.nvim

smart-splits.nvim now supports seamless split navigation for the Kitty multiplexer! The plugin will attempt to automatically detect your multiplexer backend based on the presence of the following environment variables:

  • $TMUX => config.multiplexer_integration = 'tmux'
  • $WEZTERM_PANE => config.multiplexer_integration = 'wezterm'
  • $KITTY_LISTEN_ON => config.multiplexer_integration = 'kitty' (because Kitty requires listeneing on a socket for remote commands)

Read more about setting up Kitty's multiplexer integration.

Additionally, smart-splits.nvim now supports semantic versioning via git tags.
