unimpaired.nvim

📝 Description:

This is a LUA port of tpopes famous vim-unimpaired plugin. unimpaired.nvim aims to replicate the exact behaviour of vim-unimpaired, with some exceptions (see caveats).

unimpaired.nvim is a collection of useful keymaps which follow a pattern: They come in complementary pairs which mostly fall into four categories:

• There are mappings which are simply short normal mode aliases for commonly used ex commands. ]q is :cnext. [q is :cprevious. ]a is :next. [b is :bprevious. See the default configuration for the full set of 20 mappings
• There are linewise mappings. [<Space> and ]<Space> add newlines before and after the cursor line. [e and ]e exchange the current line with the one above or below it.
• There are mappings for toggling options. [os, ]os, and yos perform :set spell, :set nospell, and :set invspell, respectively. There's also l (list), n (number), w (wrap), x (cursorline cursorcolumn), and several others
• And in the miscellaneous category, there's [f and ]f to go to the next/previous file in the directory, and [n and ]n to jump between SCM conflict markers (the latter is not implemented yet)

✨ Features

• 🔥 Keymaps can be changed
• ❌ You can disable keymaps you don't need
• 🔁 All mappings are dot repeatable without additional plugin
• 📝 Mappings have proper keymap descriptions (used by e.g. which-key)
• 🔢 Many mappings can be prefixed with [count]
• 👯 Default behaviour mimics the original vim-unimpaired plugin
• 💨 Written in LUA instead of vim script

⚡️ Requirements

• Neovim >= 0.5.0

📦 Installation

Install the plugin with your favourite package manager.

Example using lazy:

{
    'tummetott/unimpaired.nvim',
    event = 'VeryLazy',
    opts = {
        -- add options here if you wish to override the default settings
    },
}

⚙️ Configuration

The setup() function takes a dictionary with user configurations. If you don't want to customize the default behaviour, you don't need to put anything in there. The default behaviour mimics the functionality off vim-unimpaired.

Customizing keymaps works as following:

require('unimpaired').setup {
    keymaps = {
        -- To overwrite the mapping, keymap description and dot-repetition for
        -- ':bnext', write
        bnext = {
            mapping = '<leader>n',
            description = 'Go to [count] next buffer',
            dot_repeat = true,
        },

        -- To disable dot repetition for ':bprevious', write
        bprevious = {
            mapping = '<leader>p',
            description = 'Go to [count] previous buffer',
            dot_repeat = false,
        },

        -- If you just want to change the keymap for ':bfirst' and don't care
        -- about desciption and dot-repetition, write the shorthand
        bfirst = '<leader>N',

        -- To disable the kemap ':blast' completely, set it to false
        blast = false,
    }

    -- Disable the default mappings if you prefer to define your own mappings
    default_keymaps = false,
}
