These plugins I use in Neovim are ones I consider “passive”. That is, they just sit there doing their thing in the background to enhance my development experience.
Generally they wont offer extra keybindings or commands I will use day to day.
You can view all the plugins I use in my plugins.lua file in my dotfiles.
Vim-lastplace will remember the last edit position of each file you’re working with and place your cursor there when re-entering.
use "farmergreg/vim-lastplace"Nvim-autopairs will automatically add closing characters when opening a “pair”, such as {, [ and (. It will then place your cursor between the two.
use "windwp/nvim-autopairs"Neoscroll makes scrolling smooth in neovim.
use "karb94/neoscroll.nvim"Vim-pasta will super-charge your pasting in neovim to preserve indents when pasting contents in with “p” and “P“.
use({
"sickill/vim-pasta",
config = function()
vim.g.pasta_disabled_filetypes = { 'fugitive' }
end,
})Here I am passing a config function to disable vim-pasta for “fugitive” filetypes. “Fugitive” is in reference to the vim-fugitive plugin that I will explain in another post.
Nvim-colorizer will highlight any colour codes your write out.
use "norcalli/nvim-colorizer.lua"
