Former Todos

Accepted

• https://github.com/stevearc/conform.nvim
  null-ls (formatter) replacement

• https://github.com/lewis6991/satellite.nvim
  scrollbar indicator for at-a-glance overview of git status, errors, etc

• https://github.com/JoosepAlviste/nvim-ts-context-commentstring
  Nested language support for comment-toggle plugins. Relies on tree-sitter context/nesting.

• https://github.com/b3nj5m1n/kommentary
  Allows easy overrides of comment strings, start, end etc.

• https://github.com/smoka7/hop.nvim
  Easy navigation around the visible pane in <= 3 key presses

Not for me

• https://github.com/petertriho/nvim-scrollbar
  it's a neat feature, but it caused some problems which I forgot to document. Also, I found a better scrollbar indicator that works better.

• https://github.com/emileferreira/nvim-strict
  highlights potential codesmells but breaks on JSON(c|5) files

• https://github.com/folke/noice.nvim
  Visual decorators around popovers and such. It's kinda glitchy and suffers from a bunch of double-rendering related issues (using effects maybe?)

• https://github.com/lewis6991/spellsitter.nvim
  LSP-aware spell checker. built in to neovim now.

• https://github.com/jose-elias-alvarez/null-ls.nvim
  for integrating non-LSP tools into an LSP environment. Lack of help in maintaining this tool. See: jose-elias-alvarez/null-ls.nvim#1621

• https://github.com/arkav/lualine-lsp-progress
  I like Fidget better: https://github.com/j-hui/fidget.nvim

• https://github.com/nvim-lua/lsp-status.nvim
  I like Fidget better: https://github.com/j-hui/fidget.nvim

• https://github.com/doums/lsp_spinner.nvim
  LSP Status. Was Deleted

• https://github.com/mhartington/formatter.nvim
  Supposed to run formatting / lint tools. I've found Conform to be easier, and require less config.

• https://github.com/ibhagwan/fzf-lua
  lua integration with fzf -- only good at searching quickly -- not designed to be relevant to working within a project (I use smart-open now). See: https://github.com/danielfalk/smart-open.nvim

• https://github.com/junegunn/fzf
  with smart-open, I no longer need a direct dependency on this. See: https://github.com/danielfalk/smart-open.nvim

• https://github.com/jackMort/pommodoro-clock.nvim
  For timeboxing work.
  Buggy - timer only shows in a particular pane, not the whole window.
  when closing the pane, you get a ton of disruptive errors

• https://github.com/github/copilot.vim
  only Open Source by technicality. Issues are disabled on this repo.

• https://github.com/zbirenbaum/copilot.lua
  still uses some shared copilot dependency, and it's been really buggy in the past, and I don't want to debug it. I do check in on this from time to time though. But I've generally found https://github.com/Exafunction/codeium.nvim to be better.

• https://github.com/tpope/vim-commentary
  Allow comment toggling. Wanted something that integrates with tree-sitter.

• https://github.com/numToStr/Comment.nvim
  Allow comment toggling. doesn't switch between single-line and block comment depending on usage.

• https://github.com/terrortylor/nvim-comment
  Allow comment toggling. Does not auto switch between single line and block comments depending on usage.
