Question 1

How to install bookmarks.nvim with lazy.nvim instead of packer.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Add { 'tomasky/bookmarks.nvim' } to your lazy.nvim spec and configure it in the setup function, similar to the packer example but adapted for lazy.nvim's syntax. Ensure Telescope is loaded if using its extension.

Question 2

bookmarks.nvim vs vim-bookmarks: which is better for Neovim?

Accepted Answer

bookmarks.nvim is Lua-native for Neovim, offering better integration with plugins like Telescope, while vim-bookmarks is Vimscript-based and works with Vim. Choose bookmarks.nvim for a modern Neovim experience or vim-bookmarks for Vim compatibility.

Question 3

Can I sync bookmarks.nvim bookmarks between different computers?

Accepted Answer

No, the plugin stores bookmarks locally in ~/.bookmarks without built-in syncing. You'd need external tools like cloud storage or version control to manually manage the file across machines.

Question 4

How to change the default bookmark storage location in bookmarks.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Modify the 'save_file' option in the setup configuration, e.g., set it to a custom path like '~/Documents/my_bookmarks', as shown in the README's example setup.

Question 5

Does bookmarks.nvim work with Telescope out of the box?

Accepted Answer

Yes, after installing both plugins, load the Telescope extension with require('telescope').load_extension('bookmarks'), then use :Telescope bookmarks list to access bookmarks, as detailed in the README.

Question 6

How to remove all bookmarks in bookmarks.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Use the keyboard shortcut mapped to bm.bookmark_clear_all, typically set to 'mx' in the default configuration, which clears all bookmarks from the global store instantly.
