Overview

This plugin provides a visual representation of your code structure on the side of your windows, similar to the minimap found in many modern editors.

Criticisms are welcome.

Customized Handlers

See the wiki page

Statusline

This plugin provides statusline components that integrate with various statusline plugins like Lualine.

Click to expand

Customizable Statusline Components

The plugin offers the following customizable components for your statusline:

  • plugin_name - Displays the plugin name, "Neominimap".
  • fullname - Shows the full path of the current file.
  • shortname - Displays only the filename (without the path).
  • position - Indicates the current cursor position within the file.

Example: Customizing Lualine

Here's an example of how you can customize the Lualine statusline using neominimap components:

local neominimap = require("neominimap.statusline")
local minimap_extension = {
    sections = {
        lualine_c = {
            neominimap.fullname,
        },
        lualine_z = {
            neominimap.position,
            "progress",
        },
    },
    filetypes = { "neominimap" },
}
require('lualine').setup { extensions = { minimap_extension } }

Using the Default Lualine Extension

Alternatively, you can use the default settings provided by the plugin:

local minimap_extension = require("neominimap.statusline").lualine_default
require('lualine').setup { extensions = { minimap_extension } }

The default Lualine extension provided by the plugin is structured as follows:

{
  sections = {
      winbar = {},
      lualine_a = {
          M.plugin_name,
      },
      lualine_c = {
          M.shortname,
      },
      lualine_z = {
          M.position,
          "progress",
      },
  },
  filetypes = { "neominimap" },
}

How it works

Caching Minimap Buffers

For every file opened, the plugin generates a corresponding minimap buffer.

When a buffer is displayed in a window, the minimap buffer is automatically opened side by side with the main window.

This approach minimizes unnecessary rendering when

  • Multiple windows are open for same file
  • Switching between buffers within a window

TreeSitter Integration

First, the plugin retrieves all Treesitter nodes in the buffer.

For each codepoint in the minimap, the plugin calculates which highlight occurs most frequently and displays it. If multiple highlights occur the same number of times, all of them are displayed.

Note that the plugin considers which highlights are applied, rather than which highlights are shown. Specifically, when many highlights are applied to a codepoint, it is possible that only some of them are visible. However, all applied highlights are considered in the calculation. As a result, unshown highlights may be displayed in the minimap, leading to potential inconsistencies between the highlights in the minimap and those in the buffer.

TODO

  • LSP integration
  • TreeSitter integration
  • Git integration
  • Search integration
  • Support for window relative to editor
  • Validate user configuration
  • Documentation
  • Performance improvements
  • More test cases

Non-Goals

  • Scrollbar. Use satellite.nvim, nvim-scrollview or other plugins.
  • Display screen bounds like codewindow.nvim. For performance, this plugin creates a minimap buffer for each buffer. Since a screen bound is a windowwise thing, it's not impossible to display them by highlights.

Limitations

  • Updating Folds Immediately. Neovim does not provide a fold event. Therefore, this plugin cannot update immediately whenever fold changes in a buffer.

Similar projects

  • codewindow.nvim

    • Codewindow.nvim renders the minimap whenever focus is switched to a different window or the buffer is switched. In contrast, this plugin caches the minimap, so it only renders when the text is changed. Therefore, this plugin should offer better performance when frequently switching windows or buffers.
    • Codewindow.nvim renders the minimap based on bytes, while this plugin renders based on codepoints, respecting UTF-8 encoding and tab width.
    • Codewindow.nvim does not consider folds, whereas this plugin does.
    • Codewindow.nvim shows the minimap in a floating window but does not support a split window. This plugin supports both.
    • Codewindow.nvim does not support customized handlers, which this plugin does.
  • mini.map

    • Mini.map allows for encoded symbol customization, while this plugin does not.
    • Mini.map includes a scrollbar, which this plugin does not.
    • Mini.map does not have Treesitter integration, whereas this plugin does.
    • Mini.map rescales the minimap so that its height matches the window height, while this plugin generates the minimap using a fixed compression rate.
    • Mini.map does not cache the minimap, but it is still performant.
    • Mini.map shows the minimap in a floating window but does not support a split window. This plugin supports both.
    • Mini.map does not support customized handlers, which this plugin does.
  • minimap.vim

    • Like Mini.map, Minimap.vim scales the minimap.
    • Minimap.vim uses a Rust program to generate minimaps efficiently, while this plugin is written in Lua.
    • Minimap.vim does not have Treesitter or LSP integration, which this plugin does.
    • Minimap.vim shows the minimap in a split window but does not support a floating window. This plugin supports both.
    • Minimap.vim does not support customized handlers, which this plugin does.

Acknowledgements

Thanks to gorbit99 for codewindow.nvim, by which this plugin was inspired. The map generation algorithm and TreeSitter integration algorithm are also learned from that project.

Special thanks to lewis6991 for creating the excellent gitsigns.nvim and satellite.nvim plugins. The Git integration in Neominimap was made possible by gitsigns.nvim, and the search and mark integrations are based on satellite.nvim's code.
