Modular Independent Neovim Improvements
Hello, Neovim users! Today is the release day of ‘mini.nvim’ version 0.18.0. Almost half a year and 188 commits after the previous release. Arguably, the wait is a bit too much: I prefer to have around three months between releases, but with at least one new module (this was the bottleneck in this release). Here is a full version changelog if you are curious. There is one new module: ‘mini.input’…

This one was a long time in the works for various reasons: Somewhat important to polish the design (I’ll…
Hello, Neovim users! MiniMax (a Neovim config generator based on ‘mini.nvim’) got two new reference versions: nvim-0.12 for Neovim=0.12.

The main theme of this config is that it will switch from using ‘mini.deps’ as a plugin manager to vim.pack . nvim-0.10 for Neovim=0.10. Although this is not the latest…

Video Hello, Neovim users! After what feels like an eternity, there is now a new module: ‘mini.cmdline’ . The ‘mini.nvim’ is long overdue a new 0.17 release. After contemplating a “just do it” approach, I decided that keeping the “every release has at least one new module” streak is worth it. So after looking for which module would be the most beneficial while taking not-so-long to write, the…

And MiniMax now also has today as its birthday. MiniMax is designed to be more than a…
Hello, Neovim users! For the entirety of the ‘mini.nvim’/MINI project its main place of documentation was GitHub.
