2 years ago I wouldn't want nvim-notify to do this because messages could have specific formatting that wouldn't make sense if truncated (e.g. messages that use treesitter highlighting) but you could easily do this manually with something like this:
local function split_length(text, length)
local lines = {}
local next_line
while true do
if #text == 0 then
return lines
end
next_line, text = text:sub(1, length), text:sub(length)
lines[#lines + 1] = next_line
end
end
vim.notify = function(msg, level, opts)
if type(msg) == "string" then
msg = vim.split(msg, "\n")
end
local truncated = {}
for i, line in ipairs(msg) do
local new_lines = split_length(line, max_width)
for _, l in ipairs(t) do
truncated[#truncated + 1] = l
end
end
return require("notify")(truncated, level, opts)
endI have not tested this so almost certainly contains bugs :sweat_smile:

Instead of truncating very long messages if they are longer than a set
max_width, would it be possible to move truncated part of a message to the next line of the notification? See an example(well it did actually occur so I'm not sure if I can call it an example anymore) situation below:Here are some notifications with no
max_widthset, as you can see, this message is rather long and blocks the top portion of my screen.Here are the same notifications but with
max_widthset to50. Here the notification is at the preferred length but the end of the notification text is truncated. It would be nice if that truncated part was on a new line. .
