### Visualize and work with indent scope
- Customizable debounce delay, animation style, and scope computation options.
- Implements scope-related motions and textobjects.

## Features
- Visualize scope with **animated** vertical line. It is very fast and done automatically in a non-blocking way (other operations can be performed, like moving cursor). You can customize debounce delay and animation rule.
- Customization of scope computation options can be done on global level (in `MiniIndentscope.config`), for a certain buffer (using `vim.b.miniindentscope_config` buffer variable), or within a call (using `opts` variable in `MiniIndentscope.get_scope()`).
- Customizable notion of a border: which adjacent lines with strictly lower indent are recognized as such. This is useful for a certain filetypes (for example, Python or plain text).
- Customizable way of line to be considered "border first". This is useful if you want to place cursor on function header and get scope of its body.
- There are textobjects and motions to operate on scope. Support `v:count` and dot-repeat (in operator pending mode).
## 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.indentscope' })
```
Stable branch:
```lua
vim.pack.add({
{ src = 'https://github.com/nvim-mini/mini.indentscope', 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.indentscope')
```
Stable branch:
```lua
add({ source = 'nvim-mini/mini.indentscope', 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.indentscope', version = false },
```
Stable branch:
```lua
{ 'nvim-mini/mini.indentscope', version = '*' },
```
**Important**: don't forget to call `require('mini.indentscope').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.
{
-- Draw options
draw = {
-- Delay (in ms) between event and start of drawing scope indicator
delay = 100,
-- Animation rule for scope's first drawing. A function which, given
-- next and total step numbers, returns wait time (in ms). See
-- |MiniIndentscope.gen_animation| for builtin options. To disable
-- animation, use `require('mini.indentscope').gen_animation.none()`.
animation = --,
-- Whether to auto draw scope: return `true` to draw, `false` otherwise.
-- Default draws only fully computed scope (see `options.n_lines`).
predicate = function(scope) return not scope.body.is_incomplete end,
-- Symbol priority. Increase to display on top of more symbols.
priority = 2,
},
-- Module mappings. Use `''` (empty string) to disable one.
mappings = {
-- Textobjects
object_scope = 'ii',
object_scope_with_border = 'ai',
-- Motions (jump to respective border line; if not present - body line)
goto_top = '[i',
goto_bottom = ']i',
},
-- Options which control scope computation
options = {
-- Type of scope's border: which line(s) with smaller indent to
-- categorize as border. Can be one of: 'both', 'top', 'bottom', 'none'.
border = 'both',
-- Whether to use cursor column when computing reference indent.
-- Useful to see incremental scopes with horizontal cursor movements.
indent_at_cursor = true,
-- Maximum number of lines above or below within which scope is computed
n_lines = 10000,
-- Whether to first check input line to be a border of adjacent scope.
-- Use it if you want to place cursor on function header to get scope of
-- its body.
try_as_border = false,
},
-- Which character to use for drawing scope indicator
symbol = '╎',
}
