[deps] mini.nvim org moved to nvim-mini + v0.18.0 adds mini.input; src URL needs update #293

Description

@stanfish06

What

mini.nvim migrated from the personal echasnovski GitHub account to the nvim-mini organization and released v0.18.0 (June 21, 2026). The plugins.lua src URL still points to the old location.

Where

lua/config/plugins.lua:43

{ name = "mini.nvim", src = "https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim.git" },

Why it matters

  • GitHub preserves a redirect so clones/pulls still work for now, but the canonical upstream URL has changed. The redirect can disappear without notice and will slow git fetch operations.
  • v0.18.0 ships a new module mini.input — a fully customisable vim.ui.input() replacement that renders as a floating window, statusline/tabline, or virtual text. This complements the existing noice.nvim setup (which covers the cmdline) by improving all non-cmdline input prompts, including the rename-server prompt in server.lua and obsidian.nvim's note title input.
  • Since mini.nvim is already installed in full, mini.input is already on disk and costs nothing to enable.

Recommended action

  1. Update the src URL:
    { name = "mini.nvim", src = "https://github.com/nvim-mini/mini.nvim.git" },
  2. Optionally enable mini.input in plugin_config.lua after the existing mini.pairs block:
    local mini_input_ok, mini_input = pcall(require, "mini.input")
    if mini_input_ok then mini_input.setup() end
