lilguys.nvim#

Sometimes you just need to add a lil guy to the line!

This plugin provides you with a keybind to easily toggle a symbol like |> before the content of a line.

I made it because typing |> on my keyboard is moderately inconvenient, but also because I've never made a real plugin before.

✨ Features#

• Toggle lil guy (|>) at the start of the line (supports multi-line selections and motion counts)
• Insert lil guy at cursor (supports . repetition)
• Filetype-sensitive activation
• Configurable keymaps and symbol

📦 Installation#

Requres Neovim 0.7.0

Using lazy.nvim#

{
  'stunwin/lilguys.nvim',
  config = function()
    require('lilguys').setup()
  end
}

Using packer.nvim#

use {
  'stunwin/lilguys.nvim',
  config = function()
    require('lilguys').setup()
  end
}

⚙️ Configuration#

• Default keybind to toggle a lil guy at the start of the line is <leader>.
• Default keybind to insert a lil guy at your cursor is <leader>,

opts = {
  keybind = '<leader>.',  -- toggles a lil guy in at the front of the line. Respects whitespace.
  insert_keybind = '<leader>,',  -- adds a lil guy and a space right before your curor
  symbol = '|>',  -- want a different lil guy? put him here!
  filetypes = { "gleam", "elm", "elixir", "fsharp", "ocaml", "reason" }, -- your lil guy probably only works in certain files. make sure they're here
  auto_insert = true, -- if you use the main keybind on a new, empty line, this will kick you straight into insert mode... or not!
}

todo#

• Add support for motion-count iteration
• Set per-filetype lil guys
• Three-way toggle between start of line, at-cursor, and off states
• Support for massive concurrency and cloud deployment
• finish this and probably get back to real work

I got the idea for this from obsidian.nvim's checkboxes

I would have no idea what I'm doing without kickstart.nvim
