eagle.nvim

To soar like an eagle is to rise above all obstacles.

Following either your mouse or your cursor, this plugin provides a custom floating (popup) window that displays any diagnostic (Error, Warning, Hint) returned by the Diagnostic API, along with lsp information returned by the LSP API.

Overview

Enhance your Neovim experience by utilizing the following features:

• Detect when the mouse hovers over an underlined part of code. Once it goes idle (for a configurable amount of time), the window will be invoked. I tried to mirror the way conventional GUI Editors like VS Code work.
• Display the Diagnostics under the current mouse position. If there are multiple diagnostics on the same position (ie Error and Warning), display them all in a numbered list. For better user experience, the window is re-rendered only once the mouse encounters a "special" character (like "{}.?:" and more). This means that it stays open if it detects mouse movement and you are still hovering over the same variable/function/operator name.
• Show LSP information (the same contents as with vim.lsp.buf.hover()).
• Recently added opt-in support for keyboard control, which can work together with mouse control.

As you can see, the plugin's window is displaying all the information related to each position.

Installation

With Lazy:

{
    "soulis-1256/eagle.nvim",
    opts = {
      --override the default values found in config.lua
    }
},

Alternative setup (without Lazy's opts property), in case you encounter any issues:

{ "soulis-1256/eagle.nvim" },

require("eagle").setup({
--override the default values found in config.lua
})

You can find the description of all the options in config.lua. Here is a concise list:

  improved_markdown = true,
  mouse_mode = true,
  keyboard_mode = false,
  logging = false,
  close_on_cmd = true,
  show_lsp_info = true,
  scrollbar_offset = 0,
  max_width_factor = 2,
  max_height_factor = 2.5,
  render_delay = 500,
  detect_idle_timer = 50,
  window_row = 1,
  window_col = 5,
  border = "single",
  title = "",
  title_pos = "center",
  title_color = "#8AAAE5",
  border_color = "#8AAAE5",

[!IMPORTANT]\ By default, keyboard_mode is disabled and mouse_mode is enabled, but they can both be enabled at the same time.

If you keep mouse_mode enabled, make sure vim.o.mousemoveevent is also enabled:

vim.o.mousemoveevent = true

If you enable keyboard_mode, make sure you set a custom keymap to be able to use the plugin using the keyboard:

vim.keymap.set('n', '<Tab>', ':EagleWin<CR>', { noremap = true, silent = true })

[!NOTE]\ The plugin is confirmed to work on build version 0.10.2 (api level 12)
