CPPMan.nvim

A NeoVim plugin with a simple interface for the cppman cli tool, allowing you to easily search cplusplus.com and cppreference.com without ever leaving neovim.

Plugin inspired by vim-cppman

Installation

Install using packer. Note that nui.nvim is a requirement.

-- cppman
use {
	'madskjeldgaard/cppman.nvim',
	requires = {
		{ 'MunifTanjim/nui.nvim' }
	},
	config = function()
		local cppman = require"cppman"
		cppman.setup()

		-- Make a keymap to open the word under cursor in CPPman
		vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>cm", function()
			cppman.open_cppman_for(vim.fn.expand("<cword>"))
		end)

		-- Open search box
		vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>cc", function()
			cppman.input()
		end)

	end
}

Usage

Run :CPPMan without any arguments to get a search prompt or with an argument to search for a term: :CPPMan std::array

Navigation

Once the manual has been open it's possible to navigate through the documentation using the same keybindings of the standalone cppman program, in normal mode:

K, <C-]> and <2-LeftMouse>: allows to follow the word under cursor
<C-T> and <RightMouse>: go back to the previous page
