Introduction
This week you can find resources on configuring debuggers in Neovim, additions to the mini.nvim library, and new plugins, including for automatically creating/editing snippets, moving in insert mode and updates to well known plugins such as rose-pine, none-ls and img-clip.nvim.
First let's start with a fun image from Reddit. The next step could be to replace the steering wheel with a keyboard and use HJKL to maneuver 😂
Hope you enjoy this weeks issue!

Updates
Rosé Pine theme update
Rosé Pine recently released an update that has been in the works for quite some time. There are no planned breaking changes, but you can track and report any bugs on the GitHub!
none-ls.nvim deprecating builtins with unmaintained upstream or native LSP replacement

You can now use img-clip.nvim to drag and drop images from the web browser or file explorer into the terminal to embed them. This works on both Linux (X11 and Wayland), MacOS and Windows (including WSL).
Dotfyle & TWiN updates
I wanted to share some smaller updates about Dotfyle. Recently I've had some time to work on Dotfyle and prioritized making it easier to maintain This Week in Neovim by automating some of the work I used to do manually when curating issues, and I am hopeful this will lead to me being able to publish new issues with more consistency.
- Automatic parsing of Neovim core news & commits
- Added a form where you can submit new plugins
- Improved image parsing so more images are automatically detected in the Readme.
Currently the most time consuming parts curating issues are finding relevant Reddit posts for each plugin, and looking through Reddit/Commits for bigger news. I am considering different options to improve this as well, but not sure on the path forward.
In other news, I made some changes to the design system, including enabling users to switch between 4 different color schemes - inspired by real Neovim color schemes.
