Beta-testing 'mini.indentscope' about mini.nvim HOT 10 CLOSED

this looks really cool. when's the next release? :)

Thanks! For 0.3.0 I planned 'mini.doc' and 'mini.indentscope' as new modules. They need to be publicly beta-tested for a while (each at least couple of weeks). I also really want to create at least rudimentary tests for all modules, but that is a daunting task. But I'll try.
So, in short: in quite a while.

from mini.nvim.

The combination of text-object + motions + vizualisation is perfect and allowed me to ditch indent-blankline, vim-indent-object and vim-indentwise since I don't use all their features.

from mini.nvim.

A few ideas:

1. A toggle (to ensure opt-in) to show either the current indent, or, the current indent and all 'upstream | higher' indents up until the first one

2. Using `Yggdroot/indentLine` in combination with this module seems to have this module overlay lines over Yggdroot's lines. It would be nice if the two could be combined, however not sure if this is possible as I didn't come across any sign of using `extmark` in `Yggdroot/indentLine`, so a priority change would not easily fix this. Might be redundant if point 1 is taken into consideration

Seems to work well so far, cheers !

Thanks for the feedback, this is helpful!

About ideas:

1. I considered implementing it for quite a while, but it proved to be a lot of small nuances which would make code more complicated. I might rethink this in the future, but at the moment I don't see it implemented here.
2. Yes, 'mini.indentscope' will overlay those lines exactly because it uses extmarks. Unfortunately, currently it doesn't coexists well even with lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim, which uses extmarks. The main reason is that Neovim at the moment doesn't (and probably won't ever) allow placing extmarks not near the text. This is an issue because I want vertical line to be shown correctly even on empty lines. So this means using approach from 'indent-blankline.nvim' - place extmark on first column with text mimicking padding. Current API of extmarks allows different highlighting groups for different parts of text, but not different priorities. This is why I created neovim/neovim#17366. If it gets implemented, then I'll make whitespace padding have a very low priority so that it will get overlaid by extmarks from 'indent-blankline.nvim'. However, I don't have my hopes high because it seems like a difficult feature to implement. Maybe allowing placing extmarks on any screen position might be even simpler :)

Thank you all for beta-testing 'mini.indentscope'! I made new release (hey, @hunleyd), so it is now not in beta any more.

Beautiful! I've wanted something like this!

I don't like that it's animated by default. IMO, it goes against the spirit of Vim where everything happens as fast as possible. But it's easy to turn off the animation, so it's not that much of a problem.

from mini.nvim.

Yeah, I've had this exact thought today just before the release. I just really like the animation outcome and how I got there implementation-wise. And technically, it does happen as fast as possible, because it is non-blocking :)

Turning this into a toggle-able command would not be super useful, right? Its basically the same thing as :set cursorline at that point, with some goodies like text objects, cool animations, and whatnot.

Not sure, what exactly you mean here.

Some possibilities:

• There are vim.{g,b}.miniindentscope_disable to enable/disable/toggle automated visualization. Toggle here is done with :lua vim.g.miniindentscope_disable = not vim.g.miniindentscope_disable.
• There are MiniIndentscope.draw() and MiniIndentscope.undraw() for manual drawing and undrawing of visual indicator. There is no draw_toggle() or exported indicator of drawing status to manually implement "perfect" draw_toggle(), but it might be done using variables from previous bullet and/or setting draw.delay to a very large value. Didn't do it, because it wasn't the main point of this module, but not opposed to it. If you describe your intended usage, we can work something out.
