  • <leader>wm to toggle window maximize

• lazydev.nvim: faster alternative to neodev.nvim

• mini.ai is back as a default plugin! Removing it was a mistake. It's a great plugin that enhances the native text objects.

• :LazyExtras now has multiple new sections:

  • Enabled: extras that are currently enabled
  • Recommended Languages: language extras recommended for the current buffer / directory
  • Recommended Plugins: extras that are recommended for most users
  • Plugins: other plugin extras
  • Languages: other language extras

Since Neovim 0.10 has been released, I've been working on a new version of LazyVim that is fully compatible with all the latest Neovim features.

Additionally, some core plugins have been moved to extras.

• native snippets are now the default on Neovim 0.10 Older versions of Neovim will use the new luasnip extra.

• native comments are now the default on Neovim 0.10 Older versions of Neovim will use the new mini-comment extra. nvim-ts-context-commentstring has been integrated in the native comments.

• inlay hints have been in LazyVim for a while, but are now enabled by default. To disable them:

  {
    "nvim-lspconfig",
    opts = {
      inlay_hints = { enabled = false },
    }
  }
  

• plugins moved to extras:

  • mini.surround
  • mini.indentscope scopes are now also highlighted with indent-blankline
  • nvim-treesitter-context

10.x

• added new extra for mini.diff This is a plugin similar to gitsigns but with a neat diff overlay that can be toggled with <leader>go.

• trouble.nvim has been rewritten from scratch and is now in beta. I've added a new extra for it (trouble-v3) for those of you who want to try it out. You can find the updated docs here

• The lazygit integration now configures:

  • the theme based on the colorscheme
  • nerd font icons (v3)
  • editor preset is set to nvim-remote for better interop with Neovim

• The option vim.g.lazygit_theme was renamed to vim.g.lazygit_config

• lazygit now automatically uses the colors of your current colorscheme. This is enabled by default. To disable, add the below to your options.lua:

  vim.g.lazygit_config = false
  

• Added support for basedpyright to the python extra. Enable in your options.lua with:

  vim.g.lazyvim_python_lsp = "basedpyright"
  

  Be aware that basedpyright is still in development and may not work exactly the same as pyright.

• User extras under lua/plugins/extras can now also be managed with LazyExtras

• nvim-ts-autotag is now included by default

• nvim-treesitter-context is now included by default

• Added extra for symbols-outline.nvim

• Added extra for aerial.nvim

• nvim-navic has been removed. If you want to keep using nvim-navic, you can enable the editor.navic extra

• New :LazyExtras command for managing LazyVim extras

• Improved formatting:

  • LazyVim can now work with multiple formatters. Types:

    • primary: only one primary formatter can be active at a time. (conform, none-ls, LSP)
    • secondary: multiple secondary formatters can be active (eslint, ...)

  • LazyVim automatically selects the primary formatter based on the current available sources and priorities.

  • New :LazyFormat command for formatting the current selection or buffer

  • New :LazyFormatInfo command for displaying the active formatters for the current buffer

  • Auto-formatting can be disabled with:

    vim.g.autoformat = false -- globally
    vim.b.autoformat = false -- buffer-local
    

• none-ls.nvim is no longer installed by default

  • conform.nvim is now the default formatter
  • nvim-lint is now the default linter
  • If you want to keep using none-ls.nvim, you can enable the lsp.none-ls extra

• dashboard.nvim is the new default dashboard plugin

  • If you want to keep using alpha.nvim, you can enable the ui.alpha extra

• Improved root detection:

  • New :LazyRoot command that shows info about the root dir detection

  • Configurable with vim.g.root_spec

    -- LazyVim root dir detection
    -- Each entry can be:
    -- * the name of a detector function like `lsp` or `cwd`
    -- * a pattern or array of patterns like `.git` or `lua`.
    -- * a function with signature `function(buf) -> string|string[]`
    vim.g.root_spec = { "lsp", { ".git", "lua" }, "cwd" }
    
    -- To disable root detection set to just "cwd"
    vim.g.root_spec = { "cwd" }
