lsp_lines.nvim
lsp_lines is a simple neovim plugin that renders diagnostics using virtual
lines on top of the real line of code.
Background
LSPs provide lots of useful diagnostics for code (typically: errors, warnings, linting). By default they're displayed using virtual text at the end of the line which is in many cases good enough, but often there's more than one diagnostic per line, or there's a very long diagnostic, and there's no handy way to read the whole thing.
lsp_lines seeks to solve this issue.
Development
This works well in its current state. Please report any issues you may find.
I've considered using the normal virtual text for all diagnostics and only using virtual lines for the currently focused line, but that requires some extra work I haven't had the time for.
Installation
Using packer.nvim (should probably be registered after lspconfig):
use({
"Maan2003/lsp_lines.nvim",
config = function()
require("lsp_lines").register_lsp_virtual_lines()
end,
})It's recommended to also remove the regular virtual text diagnostics to avoid pointless duplication:
-- Disable virtual_text since it's redundant due to lsp_lines.
vim.diagnostic.config({
virtual_text = false,
})Configuration
This plugin's functionality can be disabled with:
vim.diagnostic.config({ virtual_lines = false })And it can be re-enabled via:
vim.diagnostic.config({ virtual_lines = true })Licence
