Question 1

how to set up eagle.nvim with lazy.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Follow the README's lazy.nvim example: add the plugin to your config with `opts` for settings, enable `vim.o.mousemoveevent`, and set keymaps like `<Tab>` for keyboard mode. Ensure you use the correct syntax to avoid issues with `opts` passing.

Question 2

eagle.nvim not showing LSP info how to fix?

Accepted Answer

First, check that `show_lsp_info` is true in your setup. Then, verify your LSP server is attached using `:LspInfo` and supports hover via `vim.lsp.buf.hover()`, as detailed in the Troubleshooting section.

Question 3

eagle.nvim vs built-in Neovim hover?

Accepted Answer

eagle.nvim adds mouse tracking, combined diagnostics+LSP in one window, and smart rendering, while built-in functions like `vim.diagnostic.open_float()` lack these, per the feature comparison table. It's better for IDE-like hovers but requires plugin installation.

Question 4

how to customize eagle.nvim window colors?

Accepted Answer

Use configuration options like `border_color`, `title_color`, and content colors in the `setup()` function. Refer to the default options list in the README, which includes parameters for appearance tweaks.

Question 5

can eagle.nvim work without a mouse?

Accepted Answer

Yes, enable keyboard mode by setting `keyboard_mode=true` in setup and mapping a key to `:EagleWin`, as shown in the Installation. This allows triggering the window via keyboard independently of mouse hover.

Question 6

eagle.nvim or noice.nvim for hover popups?

Accepted Answer

eagle.nvim focuses specifically on diagnostics and LSP hover with smart tracking, while noice.nvim offers broader UI enhancements. Choose eagle for dedicated hover functionality, but be prepared for potential conflicts if using both.
