Compatability with vim-illuminate

[nianiam]

Does anyone know how I might go about disabling the Dropbar buffers from Vim-illuminate?

It matches the > character under the cursor in the menus:

From their docs you can disable it in a number of ways: filetype, mode and providers. However, I am unsure how to figure out what Dropbar's values for these are.

Seems that you want to disable vim-illuminate in dropbar buffers? If so, it's better to ask vim-illuminate's maintainer for help, since I don't know how vim-illuminate works.

Fair enough. Although the repo has no discussions and this isn’t exactly an “issue” 😅

Does Dropbar name or identify the buffers in any way? There might be a way of using the: should_enable = function(bufnr) … end option to get buffer information from the buffer number and then disable it for Dropbar’s buffers.

Dropbar buffer has filetype 'dropbar_menu' (for normal menu buffers) or 'dropbar_menu_fzf' (for fzf buffers).

Thanks. With that it was easy to disable it with the following:

-- Using lazy.nvim
return {
  "RRethy/vim-illuminate",
  opts = {
    filetypes_denylist = {
      ...
      "dropbar_menu",
      "dropbar_menu_fzf",
    },
  },
}
