## Features
- Configurable Lua functions to go forward/backward to a certain target. Each function can be customized with:
- Direction. One of "forward", "backward", "first" (forward starting from first one), "last" (backward starting from last one).
- Number of times to go.
- Whether to wrap on edges (going forward on last one goes to first).
- Some other target specific options.
- Mappings using square brackets. They are created using configurable target suffix and can be selectively disabled.
Each mapping supports |[count]|. Mappings are created in Normal mode; for targets which move cursor in current buffer also Visual and Operator-pending (with dot-repeat) modes are supported.
Using `lower-suffix` and `upper-suffix` (lower and upper case suffix) for a single target the following mappings are created:
- `[` + `upper-suffix` : go first.
- `[` + `lower-suffix` : go backward.
- `]` + `lower-suffix` : go forward.
- `]` + `upper-suffix` : go last.
- Supported targets (for more information see help for corresponding Lua function):
| Target | Mappings | Lua function |
|---------------------------------------------------|---------------------|------------------------------|
| Buffer | `[B` `[b` `]b` `]B` | `MiniBracketed.buffer()` |
| Comment block | `[C` `[c` `]c` `]C` | `MiniBracketed.comment()` |
| Conflict marker | `[X` `[x` `]x` `]X` | `MiniBracketed.conflict()` |
| Diagnostic | `[D` `[d` `]d` `]D` | `MiniBracketed.diagnostic()` |
| File on disk | `[F` `[f` `]f` `]F` | `MiniBracketed.file()` |
| Indent change | `[I` `[i` `]i` `]I` | `MiniBracketed.indent()` |
| Jump from jumplist inside current buffer | `[J` `[j` `]j` `]J` | `MiniBracketed.jump()` |
| Location from location list | `[L` `[l` `]l` `]L` | `MiniBracketed.location()` |
| Old files | `[O` `[o` `]o` `]O` | `MiniBracketed.oldfile()` |
| Quickfix entry from quickfix list | `[Q` `[q` `]q` `]Q` | `MiniBracketed.quickfix()` |
| Tree-sitter node and parents | `[T` `[t` `]t` `]T` | `MiniBracketed.treesitter()` |
| Undo states from specially tracked linear history | `[U` `[u` `]u` `]U` | `MiniBracketed.undo()` |
| Window in current tab | `[W` `[w` `]w` `]W` | `MiniBracketed.window()` |
| Yank selection replacing latest put region | `[Y` `[y` `]y` `]Y` | `MiniBracketed.yank()` |
Notes:
- The `undo` target remaps `u` and `` keys to register undo state after undo and redo respectively. If this conflicts with your setup, either disable `undo` target or make your remaps after calling `MiniBracketed.setup()`. To use `undo` target, remap your undo/redo keys to call `MiniBracketed.register_undo_state()` after the action.
## Installation
This plugin can be installed as part of 'mini.nvim' library (**recommended**) or as a standalone Git repository.
There are two branches to install from:
- `main` (default, **recommended**) will have latest development version of plugin. All changes since last stable release should be perceived as being in beta testing phase (meaning they already passed alpha-testing and are moderately settled).
- `stable` will be updated only upon releases with code tested during public beta-testing phase in `main` branch.
Here are code snippets for some common installation methods (use only one):
(Recommended) With vim.pack (on Neovim 0.12 and newer)
**Full library**
Follow ['mini.nvim' installation](https://nvim-mini.org/mini.nvim#installation).
**Standalone plugin**
Main branch:
```lua
vim.pack.add({ 'https://github.com/nvim-mini/mini.bracketed' })
```
Stable branch:
```lua
vim.pack.add({
{ src = 'https://github.com/nvim-mini/mini.bracketed', version = 'stable' },
})
```
With mini.deps (before Neovim 0.12)
**Full library**
Follow [recommended 'mini.deps' installation](https://nvim-mini.org/mini.nvim/readmes/mini-deps#installation).
**Standalone plugin**:
Main branch:
```lua
add('nvim-mini/mini.bracketed')
```
Stable branch:
```lua
add({ source = 'nvim-mini/mini.bracketed', checkout = 'stable' })
```
With folke/lazy.nvim
**Full library**
Follow ['mini.nvim' installation](https://nvim-mini.org/mini.nvim#installation).
**Standalone plugin**
Main branch:
```lua
{ 'nvim-mini/mini.bracketed', version = false },
```
Stable branch:
```lua
{ 'nvim-mini/mini.bracketed', version = '*' },
```
**Important**: don't forget to call `require('mini.bracketed').setup()` to enable its functionality.
**Note**: if you are on Windows, there might be problems with too long file paths (like `error: unable to create file : Filename too long`). Try doing one of the following:
- Enable corresponding git global config value: `git config --system core.longpaths true`. Then try to reinstall.
- Install plugin in other place with shorter path.
## Default config
```lua
-- No need to copy this inside `setup()`. Will be used automatically.
{
-- First-level elements are tables describing behavior of a target:
--
-- - - single character suffix. Used after `[` / `]` in mappings.
-- For example, with `b` creates `[B`, `[b`, `]b`, `]B` mappings.
-- Supply empty string `''` to not create mappings.
--
-- - - table overriding target options.
--
-- See `:h MiniBracketed.config` for more info.
