actions-preview.mp4
A neovim plugin that preview code with LSP code actions applied.
The following backends are available:
Using packer.nvim:
use {
"aznhe21/actions-preview.nvim",
config = function()
vim.keymap.set({ "v", "n" }, "gf", require("actions-preview").code_actions)
end,
}You can customize preview using setup function if you need it.
Default configuration:
require("actions-preview").setup {
-- options for vim.diff(): https://neovim.io/doc/user/lua.html#vim.diff()
diff = {
ctxlen = 3,
},
-- priority list of external command to highlight diff
-- disabled by defalt, must be set by yourself
highlight_command = {
-- require("actions-preview.highlight").delta(),
-- require("actions-preview.highlight").diff_so_fancy(),
-- require("actions-preview.highlight").diff_highlight(),
},
-- priority list of preferred backend
backend = { "telescope", "nui" },
-- options related to telescope.nvim
telescope = vim.tbl_extend(
"force",
-- telescope theme: https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim#themes
require("telescope.themes").get_dropdown(),
-- a table for customizing content
{
-- a function to make a table containing the values to be displayed.
-- fun(action: Action): { title: string, client_name: string|nil }
make_value = nil,
-- a function to make a function to be used in `display` of a entry.
-- see also `:h telescope.make_entry` and `:h telescope.pickers.entry_display`.
-- fun(values: { index: integer, action: Action, title: string, client_name: string }[]): function
make_make_display = nil,
}
),
-- options for nui.nvim components
nui = {
-- component direction. "col" or "row"
dir = "col",
-- keymap for selection component: https://github.com/MunifTanjim/nui.nvim/tree/main/lua/nui/menu#keymap
keymap = nil,
-- options for nui Layout component: https://github.com/MunifTanjim/nui.nvim/tree/main/lua/nui/layout
layout = {
position = "50%",
size = {
width = "60%",
height = "90%",
},
min_width = 40,
min_height = 10,
relative = "editor",
},
-- options for preview area: https://github.com/MunifTanjim/nui.nvim/tree/main/lua/nui/popup
preview = {
size = "60%",
border = {
style = "rounded",
padding = { 0, 1 },
},
},
-- options for selection area: https://github.com/MunifTanjim/nui.nvim/tree/main/lua/nui/menu
select = {
size = "40%",
border = {
style = "rounded",
padding = { 0, 1 },
},
},
},
}An example of customizing diff algorithms and telescope appearance.
require("actions-preview").setup {
diff = {
algorithm = "patience",
ignore_whitespace = true,
},
telescope = require("telescope.themes").get_dropdown { winblend = 10 },
}
You can highlight diff with an external command by setting this item. This item is a priority list, which searches for available commands from the top.
NOTE for Windows users: This feature only works with PowerShell and does not operate with cmd.exe.
Therefore, you need to setup your neovim to use PowerShell by following the instructions in :help shell-powershell.
local hl = require("actions-preview.highlight")
require("actions-preview").setup {
highlight_command = {
-- Highlight diff using delta: https://github.com/dandavison/delta
-- The argument is optional, in which case "delta" is assumed to be
-- specified.
hl.delta("path/to/delta --option1 --option2"),
-- You may need to specify "--no-gitconfig" since it is dependent on
-- the gitconfig of the project by default.
-- hl.delta("delta --no-gitconfig --side-by-side"),
-- Highlight diff using diff-so-fancy: https://github.com/so-fancy/diff-so-fancy
-- The arguments are optional, in which case ("diff-so-fancy", "less -R")
-- is assumed to be specified. The existence of less is optional.
hl.diff_so_fancy("path/to/diff-so-fancy --option1 --option2"),
-- Highlight diff using diff-highlight included in git-contrib.
-- The arguments are optional; the first argument is assumed to be
-- "diff-highlight" and the second argument is assumed to be
-- `{ colordiff = "colordiff", pager = "less -R" }`. The existence of
-- colordiff and less is optional.
hl.diff_highlight(
"path/to/diff-highlight",
{ colordiff = "path/to/colordiff" }
),
-- And, you can use any command to highlight diff.
-- Define the pipeline by `hl.commands`.
hl.commands({
{ cmd = "command-to-diff-highlight" },
-- `optional` can be used to define that the command is optional.
{ cmd = "less -R", optional = true },
}),
-- If you use optional `less -R` (or similar command), you can also use `hl.with_pager`.
hl.with_pager("command-to-diff-highlight"),
-- hl.with_pager("command-to-diff-highlight", "custom-pager"),
},
}Here is a config to reproduce the README.
require("actions-preview").setup {
telescope = {
sorting_strategy = "ascending",
layout_strategy = "vertical",
layout_config = {
width = 0.8,
height = 0.9,
prompt_position = "top",
preview_cutoff = 20,
preview_height = function(_, _, max_lines)
return max_lines - 15
end,
},
},
}TL;DR: Because of implementation limitations in some language servers. It is not possible to compute and display diffs in these language servers.
Unfortunately, some language servers realize Code Actions by means of Command, which can perform any operation, instead of TextEdit, which notifies text changes. In these language servers, we cannot get the result of text changes by a Code Action, and as a result, we cannot compute and display diffs.
