spearmint

no bs upgrade to default neovim marks but in ~100 LOC

to install

with nvim 0.12.0+

vim.pack.add({ "https://github.com/adithyasource/spearmint.nvim" })

or add adithyasource/spearmint.nvim to your favourite package manager of choice

or install it manually

git clone https://github.com/adithyasource/spearmint.nvim ~/.config/nvim/pack/nvim/start/spearmint.nvim

add this to your config to enable its functionality

require('spearmint').setup()

and configure the jump and set_mark keymaps

vim.keymap.set("n", "m", function() Spearmint.set_mark() end)
vim.keymap.set("n", "'", function() Spearmint.jump() end)

i like to override the functionality of vim marks so i use the m and ' key to use spearmint but you can set your own keymaps

how to use

• hit the set_mark key followed by any character and your file will be assigned to that key.
• as you move around files and change locations, if you ever need to go back to that file, hit the jump key followed by the character you want
• you'll be taken back to your last position in that file

why?

i wanted something not as heavy as harpoon; it has a ui which i end up not using often, so i ended up using default vim marks but they had no project context and required me to hit caps lock for setting "global" marks. thus, i ended up making this: has project wise marks, really lightweight and works with terminal buffers :]
