nvim wishlist

[jakeisnt]

list of things i want from nvim that i should add

[jakeisnt]

file tree plugin should change directories to the current project rather than being stuck in whatever directory nvim was started from

[jakeisnt]

direnv should autoload whenever editing a file that is in a project with a direnv file!! (mostly for loading nix shells)

[jakeisnt]

15_LoadFTPlugin completely bails on racket files because of all of the different racket #langs screwing with the language server protocol operating on file type detection

[jakeisnt]

nvim lua: unable to concatenate a nil value? when opening nvim tree after viewing a racket file

[jakeisnt]

shortcut to make a new bullet in org mode, markdown mode and when writing documentation e.g. when you have something of the form

• a
• b
• c
• ... holding ctrl enter in emacs inserts a new bullet, moves you to the next line and places you after the bullet and a space, ready to write the next line

[jakeisnt]

in emacs when i split the pane i want the pane to open in the same project and folder as the previous one. in nvim, when i split the pane i want it to ask me what file from the local folder i want to open, or what folder from the project i want to open

[jakeisnt]

in nvim tree, want a way to navigate up directories. also want the tree to show the project rather than the current dir that the file is in when the tree is opened

[jakeisnt]

when cursor is on one paren, i want to see the corresponding closing paren - not just when one paren or the other is typed.

[jakeisnt]

maybe don't let lsp recommend when typing comments? it's fine but kind of annoying reconsider how often i need recommendations in general - i might not really use or need them at all, or i need a more convenient way to insert them than typing out the whole word of the recommendation

[jakeisnt]

add some keymaps with nvim treesitter textobjects

[jakeisnt]

splitting windows (and any command that uses space) should be mapped in visual and normal mode, and any other mode besides edit mode

[jakeisnt]

jump with multiple characters (vim sneak? nvim sneak? something similar tothis)

[jakeisnt]

up and down arrows just move the status line up and down while left and right arrows do nothing. they should probably navigate the text just like hjkl.

[jakeisnt]

some combination of keyboard shortcuts means that when nvim git window for making commit is opened, the cursor slides down about eight lines and i have to move it back up to add text to the commit. this is annoying!

[jakeisnt]

add code actions and autoformatting

[jakeisnt]

for some reason i can';t type in numbers to jump that many lines. necessary feature!

[jakeisnt]

status bar should show number of errors and warnings in the file; there should also be a keyboard shortcut to go to the next error (if not already implemented)

[jakeisnt]

cool that rust warnings show inline but this doesn't work out when the lines are really long

[jakeisnt]

use diagnosticls alongside tsserver for js development? https://neovim.discourse.group/t/multiple-parallel-langauge-servers/235/8

[jakeisnt]

show git diffs in git view somehow easily

[jakeisnt]

my magic 'move text block that's highlighted' should work for more rthan just one line at a time

[jakeisnt]

some way to see last vim commands run and rerun them

[jakeisnt]

telescope should create new files periods should be 'words'

[jakeisnt]

if automplete knows the function has no arguments, automatically close the function call parens when filling in the automplete suggestion

[jakeisnt]

space comma to search all of the open buffers! space space to search for another file? what to toggle to the last file? unify with doom emacs

[jakeisnt]

semantic text navigation: i.e. deleting terms rather than deleting words

[jakeisnt]

switch to native plugin management (whatever olical is using) instead of managing through nix. much more flexible and it will allow me to work on neovim plugins easily!

[jakeisnt]

highlight urls in comment strings command to open said url in browser https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9458294/open-url-under-cursor-in-vim-with-browser looks helpful
