Description

Is there a way to disable mini.cursorword when I click to short word (single char). For example: a-b-c, when I move to a I don't want to hightlight all word a.

Unfortunately, no.

The whole idea of 'mini.cursorword' is to highlight whole word under cursor. In the same way as would built-in *, #, etc. work.

So although I do understand the appeal of not highlighting short words, this is both not easy to do with current implementation (which uses built-in matches and Vim patterns) and not aligned with built-in behavior.

For example: a-b-c, when I move to a I don't want to hightlight all word a.

For this particular example I can suggest to add "-" character to a list of characters that are recognized as a part of what Neovim considers to be a "keyword". This can be done by modifying 'iskeyword' option like so: vim.opt.iskeyword:append('-').

Closing as not planned.
