items to include in the newsletter:

• ✅ export all tweets to markdown format from https://twitter.com/neovim since the last major release
  • #318
• items mentioned in: https://www.reddit.com/r/neovim/comments/xft3jw/08_feature_freeze_and_preliminary_release_date/
  • check out vim.fs module for filesystem operations, which will later be used by lspconfig for project detection.
  • using ex commands as methods instead of string on vim.cmd like vim.cmd.colorscheme('nightfox')
  • Using treesitter queries to define where to check spelling for.
  • LspAttach and LspDetach: so you can eliminate on_attach callback in your lsp configuration. Ex:

      vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("LspAttach", {
        group = yourGroupID,
        callback = function(args)
          local client = vim.lsp.get_client_by_id(args.data.client_id)
          your_callbac_func(client, args.buf)
        end
      }
    

  • user-defined incremental command preview. "When you create a command, it is now possible to add a callback function that gets called on every keystroke. Inside of this function you can change the buffer text or add highlights to show the effects your command will have on a buffer. This allows plugin authors to let users preview the effects of their commands before actually executing it. The buffer will be restored to its original state afterwards."
