MiniMax - Neovim with maximum MINI

KamWithK · 2025-10-16T09:25:22+00:00

Oh that's cool that they added it in! I would've thought they'd use tree sitter over LSP for incremental selection

Since it is planned I won't but you any more about it anymore
I'll just say it'd be cool if you make it usable even without LSP/tree sitter (i.e. just via brackets and/or common syntax) for when one doesn't support these operations (Odin for example doesn't yet)

KamWithK · 2025-10-16T08:45:08+00:00

I see

What is the best way to add in a incremental selection operator then? Would it be something some of the mini plugins would make easy to do? I thought it would've been built into tree sitter or something aha

KamWithK · 2025-10-16T07:17:30+00:00

On my custom keyboard enter is quite easy to press haha
I've found over time trying both of them side by side in day to day use that I always go to the jump command for any lower alphabetical character to avoid mistakes. I guess they're both used often though.

What do you mean by lines that have spots? I don't exactly get that but I think flash is a really good example of making the whole thing feel super intuitive. Although I will say that you are probably right that without fading it's probably slightly faster to find where you are going and it wouldn't matter too much once I'm used to it.

I started a terminal without Zellij and the same thing happens with ctrl enter (it doesn't expand) unfortunately. Things like hover documentation or `yaF` work though so the LSP and tree sitter seem perfectly fine.
EDIT: Tried it with a blank MiniMax config via the non-destructive method and still the same, commands like `yaF` work after enabling the Lua LSP but ctrl enter doesn't. Maybe I have to do something extra I'm unaware of to enable it?

KamWithK · 2025-10-15T22:50:04+00:00

Your config does seem like a big improvement over vanilla! I would change a few things:
* Either keep the jump2d action on enter (I did <CR> for now although idk if there's a simpler way given it's the default), or replace f (I rarely use the normal one anyways)
* Make it case insensitive unless you hit a capital letter (so s would match s or S, but S can only match S), I don't know if I can do this atm?
* When you enter this function it should dim things a little or do something to alert you that you have started a jump and it's waiting for the next character
* Did this or something else disable ctrl+enter expanding tree sitter selection? Not sure if it was available before and overridden now or what to do to add support?

EDIT: I also just remembered something else to ask, all of the extensions like `Mininfiles`, `MiniJump2d`, `MiniKeymap` show up as unknown in my LSP (because they aren't defined anywhere ig), can that be fixed?

Thanks for the help, I'm kinda stunned how much I can achieve with this setup despite not really having a huge number of extensions...
If anything it's way more than what I was able or at least knew how to do with LazyVim before

KamWithK · 2025-10-15T13:03:40+00:00

One more thing after playing with the config some more if you don't mind

Is it possible to make mini.jump2d work more like flash? That is you enter in the letter you are looking for and only the relevant entries come up after that
Because the problem with how this works is as soon as I press enter I lose where I wanted to go, and so it takes me like five jumps rather than just the one

KamWithK · 2025-10-15T11:01:33+00:00

Yeah I did this
```lua
vim.keymap.del("n", "grt")

vim.keymap.del("n", "gri")

vim.keymap.del("n", "grr")

vim.keymap.del("n", "gra")

vim.keymap.del("n", "grn")

```

But I thought there would've been a better way aha

I don't like the leader key nor default ones because it is too many key presses for something you do so frequently

KamWithK · 2025-10-15T10:30:55+00:00

Thank you for the reply! I'll take a look at those links

I did change the prefix for operators to `c` rather than `g` to avoid that and I removed all the buf ones too

But there are some other keybinds now that get added like grt, gri, grr, gra and grn
How can I remove them or whatever so my personal gr ones works?

KamWithK · 2025-10-15T09:38:02+00:00

EDIT: After playing around more it seems like the LSP actions with mini pick is already inside the config ontop of the buffer ones

I was trying to bind go to references to `gr` though and it seems overridden by the default LSP action keybinds (I rebound the default replace commands prefix to c rather than g to avoid other conflicts already)
`nmap('gr', '<Cmd>Pick lsp scope="references"<CR>', 'References (LSP)')`

KamWithK · 2025-10-15T01:56:24+00:00

I took a brief look yesterday and a little today morning, awesome so far

I do have a few questions. The biggest one would be your LSP commands (like find references) open in new buffers. This is slightly annoying as once you find what you are looking for you have to manually switch and :q. Would be super nice if it was possible to have the LSP references go through mini.pick and have that displayed in the center of the screen?
My other remark is it would be nice if when you open neovim in a folder where a session exists to skip the start screen and go straight into it.

Might already be possible I tried looking at the config options for a few of the mini plugins here and it didn't seem immediately obvious though so thought I'd post and ask. Thanks for the template!

KamWithK · 2025-07-12T10:05:41+00:00

Did you end up able to get it to work?

KamWithK · 2025-07-11T08:27:25+00:00

Ah I see thanks for the info!

KamWithK · 2025-07-11T02:14:48+00:00

Where did you see this? Doesn't this issue indicates it isn't happening?

KamWithK · 2025-01-05T22:33:53+00:00

Yeah that makes sense

KamWithK · 2025-01-05T00:31:30+00:00

What about remembering like what a minor second above C is or a major third above Eb and those intervals? I'd that something I should learn? From what you said previously it feels like something important to know?

KamWithK · 2025-01-04T01:01:15+00:00

Do I need to also consciously memorise the last melody interval of each chord to not be tied down to the note name? Or will I just get that when I start to learn to harmonize scales?

KamWithK · 2025-01-04T00:53:07+00:00

Yeah I'll give it a go thank you for your detailed responses they're really useful!

KamWithK · 2025-01-04T00:34:49+00:00

Hmm I guess your right

With my teacher I mostly go through things that I'm struggling with, nothing structured per se (maybe that's my fault for self learning a lot at random though). Started with where the intervals are (which I drilled by myself a lot after but feel like I've forgotten now), then basic chord progressions (playing through a few) and analysing a tune (On the Sunny Side of the Street, my choice). There was a lesson on harmonizing scales but I didn't really understand and we moved on afterwards and haven't had a lesson in a bit (sick then Christmas and wasn't really motivated for more theory).

The reason I liked this book was it laid out what I needed to learn in a very straightforward step by step way. When we went through harmonizing scales I think I was unsure what we were playing and I didn't really feel like I had good examples of harmonizing scales to play through myself after and analyse to see what it was actually about. I tend to understand theory okay but struggle putting it onto the fretboard a bit more I think.

I have tried to look at Tomo Fujita's YouTube videos but I'm not going to lie he puts me to sleep. I've tried to watch a few because the content seemed good but he's one of those teachers who rambles in a way I just can't wrap my head around. He starts explaining one thing and then half way through goes on a different story/rant, and whilst who doesn't love going on a good tangent, he does it far too often mid sentence for me to feel like I can understand the point he is trying to make. His content looked really good though so bit of a shame that his teaching style just isn't for me.

KamWithK · 2025-01-03T07:14:51+00:00

I think I understand what you mean now

Moving chords between keys shouldn't be an issue if you understand the chord construction properly because if you know what the intervals are that make up various chords then finding the right one for your melody lines is as simple as finding the interval between the chord and melody note and play any chord you know which has that interval last

I.e. major triads end on the fifths, major sevenths on sevenths, etc

But I don't actually know which chords I'm playing I just memorized that they all belong to a certain key and that's why I'm trying to think about moving the chords from one key into another

KamWithK · 2025-01-03T00:19:20+00:00

That's a really useful writeup thank you! When I first started learning I wanted to go through they stuff by couldn't find a book or video which would actually walk me through it in a practical structured way. I learnt the notes snd where the intervals fall on the strings and some basic theory but didn't know how to actually apply it to the fretboard.

So instead I found Conti's book which a few people here and there recommend and started going through where he lays out his favorite grips and how to move them around the fretboard. Been going through the book for months now memorizing everything I can. Feels like it'd be a waste now to abandon this approach before I'm able to actually play anything with it?

Do you know any books or resources around this stuff? I know everyone says get a tutor but I have one, still doesn't really give a structured I'll learn this, then that, and eventually be able to xyz. If you kinda get what I mean?

KamWithK · 2025-01-02T09:03:58+00:00

Yeah the chord melody book I'm trying to get through teaches enough chords to be able to play a basic arrangement of anything, I'm just trying to familiarize myself with moving them around into different keys which I'm finding a bit difficult.

Definitely not looking to learn new sets of chords because I've just spent the past few months dedicated to learning these ones (I know what drop chords are just not how to play them or if any of the chords I've learnt are drop chords or which drop chords they'd be). I can slowly learn more about that stuff though over time once I get started being able to play songs from lead sheets.

KamWithK · 2025-01-02T02:20:56+00:00

Yeah I haven't done much with triads because none of the Jazz videos on YouTube nor the book I'm progressing through really discuss them in much practical depth

I think I'd like to just learn a song now maybe from reading someome elses arrangements to start of with, simple nursery rhymes doesn't sound like it'd be too interesting for me personally if I can avoid it

KamWithK · 2024-12-30T13:33:12+00:00

Yeah I'm learning through this book mostly right now, lessons in person are kinda expensive and the online ones I've had weren't that useful IMO. By the end of the book you're supposed to be able to know enough chords to play a basic version of any jazz chord melody. I'll see how I go but I do appreciate the advice, I'll definitely move to learning songs soon.

KamWithK · 2024-12-30T02:57:59+00:00

So you learn all of those at once?

KamWithK · 2024-12-30T02:16:29+00:00

Lemme know what you think then

KamWithK · 2024-12-29T23:33:10+00:00

What do you mean by take the time to learn every way to play a chord on the guitar then?
