🎻 NeoComposer.nvim

🎵 Introduction

NeoComposer is a Neovim plugin that streamlines macro management and execution with a customizable Status Line Component and Telescope Extension.

🎹 Features

• View the status of your macros interactively with the status component
• Browse, search, and manage macros using the Telescope extension
• Delay playback to ensure proper macro execution
• Edit macros in an interactive buffer
• Queue, yank, and delete macros
• Stop macros during playback

🐔 Dependencies

• sqlite.lua

🥚 Optional Dependencies

• Telescope.nvim
• Lualine.nvim

🔭 Telescope

Install the Telescope Extension:

require('telescope').load_extension('macros')

Launch the Telescope extension using the Telescope macros command:

:Telescope macros

🚥 Status Line

NeoComposer provides an easy way to display the recording, playback, and delay status in your status line.

require('NeoComposer.ui').status_recording()

Lualine Config:

lualine_c = {
	{ require('NeoComposer.ui').status_recording },
},

For event-driven statuslines such as heirline, Neocomposer emits User autocmd events to notify the user of status changes.

{
  provider = function(self)
    return self.status or ""
  end,
  update = {
    "User",
    pattern = { "NeoComposerRecordingSet", "NeoComposerPlayingSet", "NeoComposerDelaySet" },
    callback = function(self)
      self.status = require("neocomposer.ui").status_recording()
    end
  }
}

🐢 Delay Timer

For complex macros over large counts, you can toggle a delay between macro playback using the ToggleDelay command:

:ToggleDelay

💭 Popup Menu

Use the toggle_macro_menu keybind <m-q> to open the interactive popup macro menu.

🔍 Macro Preview

As you cycle your available macros with the cycle_next: <c-n> and cycle_prev: <c-p> keybinds the queued macro will be previewed in the buffer.

🪄 Usage

NeoComposer designates macro number 1 as queued for quick access and execution.

Edit your macros in a more comprehensive way with the EditMacros command:

:EditMacros

Clear the list of macros with the ClearNeoComposer command:

:ClearNeoComposer

📦 Installation

1. Install via your favorite package manager.

• lazy.nvim

{
  "ecthelionvi/NeoComposer.nvim",
  dependencies = { "kkharji/sqlite.lua" },
  opts = {}
},

• packer.nvim

use {
  "ecthelionvi/NeoComposer.nvim",
  requires = { "kkharji/sqlite.lua" }
}

2. Setup the plugin in your init.lua. Skip this step if you are using lazy.nvim with opts set as above.

require("NeoComposer").setup()

🔧 Configuration

You can pass your config table into the setup() function or opts if you use lazy.nvim.

Default Config

local config = {
  notify = true,
  delay_timer = 150,
  queue_most_recent = false,
  window = {
    width = 60,
    height = 10,
    border = "rounded",
    winhl = {
