👋 Hey all, first post on Lemmy.

I recently released v1.0.1 of kitty-scrollback.nvim. If you have any feedback, issues, or suggestions feel free to open an issue. I’m interested to get feedback if the setup easy or if there are any unclear/confusing steps. This requires Neovim nightly (v0.10) and Kitty v0.29.

kitty-scrollbakc.nvim

✨ Features

  • 😻 Navigate Kitty’s scrollback buffer with Neovim
  • 🐱 Copy contents from Neovim to system clipboard
  • 😺 Send contents from Neovim to Kitty shell
  • 🙀 Execute shell command from Neovim to Kitty shell

    I can see this being very useful for those small scripts I make but stubbornly don’t break out into a script file when it doesn’t work first try. It there any way to just make it launch empty on the prompt to start the command from there?

      thanks! when you say launch empty, do you mean without the scrollback buffer? or just with a blank window for the command?

        Sorry for the delay, but yeah I mean without the scrollback buffer. Right from the prompt, get a neovim buffer that excecutes. Thanks again for sharing btw, this is a fantastic project

          ah I gotcha. There is no option at the moment to completely disable the scrollback, but you could hook into some callbacks to trigger and customizations.

          For example,

          your_awesome_config.lua

          local M = {}

M.config = function(kitty_data)
  return {
    paste_window = {
      winblend = 10,
      winopts_overrides = function(paste_winopts)
        local h = vim.o.lines - 5 -- TODO: magic number 3 for footer and 2 for border
        return {
          border = 'solid',
          row = 0,
          col = 0,
          height = h < 1 and 3 or h, -- TODO: magic number 3 for footer
          width = vim.o.columns,
        }
      end,
      footer_winopts_overrides = function(footer_winopts, paste_winopts)
        return {
          border = 'single',
          title = ' kitty-scrollback.nvim ',
          title_pos = 'center',
        }
      end,
    },
    kitty_get_text = {
      extent = 'screen',
      ansi = true,
    },
    callbacks = {
      after_ready = function(kitty_data, opts)
        vim.cmd.startinsert()
      end,
    },
  }
end

return M

          kitty.conf

          map f1 kitty_scrollback_nvim --config-file /your_awesome_config.lua

          I plan to document some of the advanced configurations, just haven’t had time to get to it 👍

          I could add an option to have no scrollback and a single buffer like you mentioned similar to `` behavior in bash. I’ll think on that one.

          Thanks for the kind words 🙂
