Neovim 0.9 New Features

Elijah Manor published a new YouTube video Neovim 0.9 New Features where he highlights several new features from the recent Neovim 0.9.0 release. The contents from the slides can be found from the following gist.

New plugins {#new-plugins}

bufignore.nvim

Unlist hidden buffers that are git ignored.

bufignore-plugin.nvim

Introducing bufignore.nvim, a efficient plugin that helps you keep your buffer list tidy by automatically unlisting hidden Git ignored files. If you've ever found yourself annoyed by a cluttered buffer list, for example, when working with files within .git or node_modules, then this plugin is for you.

Bufignore comes with several features to help keep your buffer in check, including efficient event processing, support for changing the current working directory, and a customizable callback function to further configure which buffers should be unlisted. It works out-of-the-box without the need for additional configuration.

mini.colors

mini.colors (new module of mini.nvim) contains functionality to tweak and save any color scheme. It can create colorscheme object with methods to invert/set/modify/etc. lightness/saturation/hue/temperature/etc. of foreground/background/all colors, infer cterm attributes, add transparency, save to a file and more. Also has functionality for interactive experiments and animation of transition between color schemes.

nvim-alt-substitute

nvim-alt-substitute

A substitute of vim's :substitute that uses lua patterns instead of vim regex. Supports incremental preview.

For those of us who started using nvim after the introduction of lua and therefore never learned vimscript. (And do not want to learn it just for :substitute.)

Features

  • Incremental preview of the substitution.
  • Supports ranges, with % as default.
  • The g flag is supported and works like with :substitute.
  • New flags: i for case-insensitive search and f for fixed strings (literal strings).
:%s /\(\w\+\)\d\+/\1/g          -- :substitute
:S /(%w+)%d+/%1/g               -- :AltSubstitute
deviceModel2020 -> deviceModel  -- effect
