Does anyone know how can I add colors to the header btw?

pipe it to lolcat (see pipe command in the readme).

[davidvalaz]

Infact...a better question is, is it possible to pipe the default header through lolcat?

[glepnir]

lolcat just a cli to make some ascii text more colorful.. so what do you mean ?

[davidvalaz]

I wondered if there was an easy way to apply it to the default header that comes with dashboard?

[glepnir]

maybe just replace nvim logo by default ascii text

[davidvalaz]

Has anyone ever come across this annoying message before? No idea how it can be suppressed

[glepnir]

reduce the height value .

[davidvalaz]

We finally have it...

[glepnir]

why your header looks wired

[vlstv]

How do you guys disable line numbers?

[glepnir]

hmmm it's disable by default . Don't know why you got line number.

[vlstv]

weird, tried to disable all other plugins and commented out all vim settings, still see line numbers

[glepnir]

I can't reprodue with min config

[arpangreat]

Maybe A Demo including Telescope

But how do I add custom sections on the originals?

let g:dashboard_custom_section = {
  \ 'buffer_list': {
      \ 'description': [' Recently lase session                 SPC b b'],
      \ 'command': ':e .vimrc'}
\ }

it just removes all of the originals, when I set as above, there is only one entry.

Did DashBoard just set all the entries with dashboard_custom_section if it exists.

[glepnir]

you can build a command call a function . inside function do open vimrc .then pass the command into section.

Is there any way to add an image as the dashboard image for macOS, I found this and I thought it was really cute:

[konart]

@shaunsingh you can use this converter: https://505e06b2.github.io/Image-to-Braille/ Be sure to chose "Value" option instead of the default "Luminance" to see the details

[shaunsingh]

After a bit of editing this is what I got, I think it came out quite nice

Code: https://github.com/shaunsingh/vimrc-dotfiles/blob/193761d4597c0d2395391a0dad830ddf1b86f581/nvim/init.lua#L852

[Vanderscycle]

Decided to go with a meme from reddit. Also, sry for the indent lines, not sure why they show.

Here is mine: Does anyone know how can I add colors to the header btw?

You can use vim.cmd 'hi DashboardHeader ' to add colors to header.

[pesader]

@konart Awesome config! How did you display modified and untracked files on the footer?

[konart]

@PeSader I'm using Telescope's utils to get the info and then add it to the dashboard's footer:

local utils = require('telescope.utils')
local set_var = vim.api.nvim_set_var

local git_root, ret = utils.get_os_command_output({ "git", "rev-parse", "--show-toplevel" }, vim.loop.cwd())

local function get_dashboard_git_status()
  local git_cmd = {'git', 'status', '-s', '--', '.'}
  local output = utils.get_os_command_output(git_cmd)
  set_var('dashboard_custom_footer', {'Git status', '', unpack(output)})
end

if ret ~= 0 then
  local is_worktree = utils.get_os_command_output({ "git", "rev-parse", "--is-inside-work-tree" }, vim.loop.cwd())
  if is_worktree[1] == "true" then
    get_dashboard_git_status()
  else
    set_var('dashboard_custom_footer', {'Not in a git directory'})
  end
else
    get_dashboard_git_status()
end

[CodedCraft]

@shaunsingh Your logo came out looking great! What tool did you use for it?

[EpsilonKu]

When Imposter is SUS

[eaxly]

This is my Configuration. What I really like, is the quote in the footer of dashboard. It will display the Gandalf quote, but replace Frodo with $USER on linux/macOS or %USERNAME% on windows (although I don't know if it works on windows)

[louishuyng]

Here is my config

[rebelot]

inspired from @shaunsingh added custom mappings

as an aside, I would reconmend improving the shortcut highlight group, single keys (eg.: 'q') or symbols (eg.: ' q') are not highlighted.

it would be nice to define

let g:dashboard_custom_section={
  \ 'section': {
      \ 'description': ['Text...'],
      \ 'command': 'Some Command' or function('your funciton name')
      \ 'shortcut': "<leader> hjkl"}
  \ }

local g = vim.g
g.dashboard_session_directory = '~/.config/nvim/.sessions'
g.dashboard_default_executive ='telescope'
g.dashboard_custom_section = {
    a = {description = {"  Find File                 leader f f"}, command = "Telescope find_files"},
    b = {description = {"  Recents                   leader f h"}, command = "Telescope oldfiles"},
    c = {description = {"  Find Word                 leader f g"}, command = "Telescope live_grep"},
    d = {description = {"  New File                  leader e n"}, command = "DashboardNewFile"},
    e = {description = {"  Bookmarks                 leader m  "}, command = "Telescope marks"},
    f = {description = {"  Load Last Session         leader l  "}, command = "SessionLoad"},
    g = {description = {"  Update Plugins            leader u  "}, command = "PackerUpdate"},
    h = {description = {"  Settings                  leader e v"}, command = "edit $MYVIMRC"},
    i = {description = {"  Exit                      leader q  "}, command = "exit"}
}

g.dashboard_custom_footer = {'type  :help<Enter>  or  <F1>  for on-line help'}

[Akselmo]

How do you align the custom menus together?

Here's how mine looks like but I'd like all of the menus be aligned to left so it looks more "flush"

[danielnehrig]

@Akselmo hammering down on the spacebar until it fits

[Akselmo]

Yup, that did the trick, thanks.

[ACuteWoof]

Very basic, first time using this plugin and I'm lovin' it

[FrenzyExists]

Pikachu!

[IAMSolaara]

I got my logo to display:

But it should really look like this (a.k.a. I need terminal escape sequences to work.):

How did you get yours to work @EpsilonKu ?

[IAMSolaara]

What I get right now (pasting the contents of a lolcat output I get this:

I did it through the

let g:dashboard_custom_header =<< trim END
<stuff>
END

Tried without trim to no avail.

[EpsilonKu]

@lorecast162 Well, u need to show that lolcat will render it.

        let g:dashboard_preview_command = 'cat'
    let g:dashboard_preview_pipeline = 'lolcat --spread=2.5 -t --seed=156'

[IAMSolaara]

@EpsilonKu So it has to rerender it with lolcat all the time?

[IAMSolaara]

Because by "lolcat output" I meant the text from a lolcat output pasted right in my config

[EpsilonKu]

Yea, I made like that. It will rerender everytime.

[txtyash]

[FrenzyExists]

nice

[IAMSolaara]

@EpsilonKu I got it to show the text how I wanted (had to remove your options tho, apparently they're not in my version of lolcat (f35 repos) ) but I have another issue now: I cannot get rid of the [Process exited 0] text...

Apparently another user had the same issue in https://github.com/glepnir/nvim/issues/20 (I cannot read chinese)

[EpsilonKu]

@lorecast162 Just give fixed length.

Where can I get this? I so want that
