(neo)vim plugin decisions and todos

https://github.com/lewis6991/pckr.nvim
a good packer successor, works well.

https://github.com/MagicDuck/grug-far.nvim
project wide find and replace with previews and history

https://github.com/stevearc/conform.nvim
null-ls (formatter) replacement

https://github.com/lewis6991/satellite.nvim
scrollbar indicator for at-a-glance overview of git status, errors, etc

https://github.com/JoosepAlviste/nvim-ts-context-commentstring
Nested language support for comment-toggle plugins. Relies on tree-sitter context/nesting.

https://github.com/b3nj5m1n/kommentary
Allows easy overrides of comment strings, start, end etc.

https://github.com/smoka7/hop.nvim
Easy navigation around the visible pane in <= 3 key presses

https://github.com/nvim-pack/nvim-spectre/
until grog-far, this seemed liked the best project-wide find and replace for neovim.
however, it's not maintained as well as I'd like, and I keep running in to this isuse:
https://github.com/nvim-pack/nvim-spectre/issues/249
But this isn't the only thing -- just the straw that broke the camel's back. I also want search history, which grog has.

https://github.com/petertriho/nvim-scrollbar
it's a neat feature, but it caused some problems which I forgot to document. Also, I found a better scrollbar indicator that works better.

https://github.com/emileferreira/nvim-strict
highlights potential codesmells but breaks on JSON(c|5) files

https://github.com/folke/noice.nvim
Visual decorators around popovers and such. It's kinda glitchy and suffers from a bunch of double-rendering related issues (using effects maybe?)

https://github.com/lewis6991/spellsitter.nvim
LSP-aware spell checker. built in to neovim now.

https://github.com/jose-elias-alvarez/null-ls.nvim
for integrating non-LSP tools into an LSP environment. Lack of help in maintaining this tool. See: https://github.com/jose-elias-alvarez/null-ls.nvim/issues/1621

https://github.com/arkav/lualine-lsp-progress
I like Fidget better: https://github.com/j-hui/fidget.nvim

https://github.com/nvim-lua/lsp-status.nvim
I like Fidget better: https://github.com/j-hui/fidget.nvim

https://github.com/doums/lsp_spinner.nvim
LSP Status. Was Deleted

https://github.com/mhartington/formatter.nvim
Supposed to run formatting / lint tools. I've found Conform to be easier, and require less config.

https://github.com/ibhagwan/fzf-lua
lua integration with fzf -- only good at searching quickly -- not designed to be relevant to working within a project (I use smart-open now). See: https://github.com/danielfalk/smart-open.nvim

https://github.com/junegunn/fzf
with smart-open, I no longer need a direct dependency on this. See: https://github.com/danielfalk/smart-open.nvim

https://github.com/jackMort/pommodoro-clock.nvim
For timeboxing work.
Buggy - timer only shows in a particular pane, not the whole window.
when closing the pane, you get a ton of disruptive errors

https://github.com/github/copilot.vim
only Open Source by technicality. Issues are disabled on this repo.

https://github.com/zbirenbaum/copilot.lua
still uses some shared copilot dependency, and it's been really buggy in the past, and I don't want to debug it. I do check in on this from time to time though. But I've generally found https://github.com/Exafunction/codeium.nvim to be better.

https://github.com/tpope/vim-commentary
Allow comment toggling. Wanted something that integrates with tree-sitter.

https://github.com/numToStr/Comment.nvim
Allow comment toggling. doesn't switch between single-line and block comment depending on usage.

https://github.com/terrortylor/nvim-comment
Allow comment toggling. Does not auto switch between single line and block comments depending on usage.

https://github.com/HiPhish/rainbow-delimiters.nvim/issues/185
rainbow-delimeters uses submodules which is not compatible with package managers that don't want to check out sub modules.
