- Current word under cursor can be highlighted differently.
- "Word under cursor" is meant as in Vim's
<cword>: something user would get as 'iw' text object. - Highlighting stops in insert and terminal modes.
There are two branches to install from:
main(default, recommended) will have latest development version of plugin. All changes since last stable release should be perceived as being in beta testing phase (meaning they already passed alpha-testing and are moderately settled).stablewill be updated only upon releases with code tested during public beta-testing phase inmainbranch.
Here are code snippets for some common installation methods (use only one):
- Using wbthomason/packer.nvim:
| Branch | Code snippet |
|---|---|
| Main | use 'echasnovski/mini.nvim' |
| Stable | use { 'echasnovski/mini.nvim', branch = 'stable' } |
- Using junegunn/vim-plug:
| Branch | Code snippet |
|---|---|
| Main | Plug 'echasnovski/mini.nvim' |
| Stable | Plug 'echasnovski/mini.nvim', { 'branch': 'stable' } |
Important: don't forget to call require('mini.cursorword').setup() to enable its functionality.
Note: if you are on Windows, there might be problems with too long file paths (like error: unable to create file <some file name>: Filename too long). Try doing one of the following:
- Enable corresponding git global config value:
git config --system core.longpaths true. Then try to reinstall. - Install plugin in other place with shorter path.
-- No need to copy this inside `setup()`. Will be used automatically.
{
-- Delay (in ms) between when cursor moved and when highlighting appeared
delay = 100,
