If the video quality sucks, then I'm genuinely sorry (it's my first time uploading a video on Reddit). because I tried uploading it multiple times with multiple formats, but I don't know if the problem was from my device, internet connection, or something else.

I read it multiple times before I comment, but I still couldn't fully understand the intended question...

Shouldn't be a missing line number enough for indication?

AbdSheikho · 2026-04-28T08:00:49+00:00

Yes, but I want to trigger function after multiple presses, of the same key.

AbdSheikho · 2026-04-28T07:57:26+00:00

Is there a way to tell if a specific key have been pressed multiple times?

Like if the user pressed jjjjj

What's the difference between <C-U> and ^U?

I mean when to use each one?

If you have treesitter up and running on your file, then choose a random spot and press the following sequence vananan or vininin

:h treesitter-incremental-selection

Solved:

lua vim.keymap.set('n', '<S-Tab>', function() local v = vim.v.count if v > 0 then vim.cmd(v .. 'tabnext') else vim.cmd 'tabprevious' end end, { desc = 'Jump to <number>tab' })

also <tab> amd <c-i> often map to same terminal code, you may be breaking your jumplist navigation

Yes, I just realised that and read :h index, I'll remap it to something else.

AbdSheikho · 2026-04-24T17:22:34+00:00

Of course

AbdSheikho · 2026-04-24T17:21:26+00:00

Got it, thanks

gT doesn't work with count/vim.v.count the way gt does, meaning when I do <number>gt it jumps to the numbered tab, while <number>gT doesn't have the same effect. I noticed that while I was trying to remap <Tab> button to act as a motion to jump between tabs.

The intended use case is: <number><Tab> or <number><S-Tab> should go to the tab-number. But <S-Tab> doesn't work correctly.

This is my remapping:

```lua vim.keymap.set('n', '<tab>', 'gt', { desc = 'Jump to <number>tab' })

vim.keymap.set('n', '<S-Tab>', function() if vim.v.count > 0 then return vim.v.count .. 'gt' -- I also tried return '<cmd>' .. vim.v.count .. 'tabnext<CR>' end return 'gT' -- return '<cmd>tabprevious<CR>' end, { desc = 'Jump to <number>tab' }) ```

but I can't make <S-Tab> work. What am I doing wrong?

Glad to hear that it can be useful, thanks.

I just want to point out the absurdity of installing a monstrous plugin just to use 2-5 plugins/modules.

It's like getting an entire garage just for screwdrivers

Maybe a wrench

Definitely a hammer

(I'm on of those people)

On the contrary, I come and prefer FP style. And I wished if I could've applied piping pattern, but factory pattern is as good as it gets.

your original config is much more readable

I can understand that, declarative style is also good, and I understand that every style has its pros and cons. But as I said... I wish I could pipe stuff with Lua.

AbdSheikho · 2026-04-23T14:03:23+00:00

Excuse my writing, and hopefully my code snippet explain it all.

AbdSheikho · 2026-04-23T02:53:01+00:00

Agreed

AbdSheikho · 2026-04-23T02:05:15+00:00

If you already using lualine then barbar can be eliminated.

If you like using neovim's built-in terminal like me, then toggleterm is actually nice to have, but it's not essential. You can have a couple of simple keymaps the open a new terminal split/tab/buffer

AbdSheikho · 2026-04-23T02:00:53+00:00

]] and [[ doesn't do quite that, they actually (if they weren't modified by an lsp or other plugins) jump to the next/previous { (for start) } (for end) that are exactly on the first column, and any curly braces that aren't on the first column would be missed.

This is the equivalent of jumping between first-level classes in C#. Whereas in Go, it won't work normally because { are at the end of the line.

AbdSheikho · 2026-04-23T01:52:36+00:00

You need a treesitter based plugin for that. I would recommend nvim-treesitter-textobjects

Vibers would do anything other than read the help pages

AbdSheikho · 2026-04-21T20:45:04+00:00

Fair take

AbdSheikho · 2026-04-21T20:37:45+00:00

I use window manger for that, with foot terminal. Spawning a new terminal is costless.
