Question 1

How do I install modicator.nvim with lazy.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Follow the setup example in the README: add the plugin as a dependency, ensure your colorscheme loads first in the init function, and set the required options like termguicolors, cursorline, and number to true.

Question 2

Modicator.nvim vs other mode indicators in Neovim?

Accepted Answer

Modicator.nvim is lighter and focuses only on changing line number colors for mode feedback, unlike full statusline plugins like vim-airline or lightline. It's best if you want minimal visual cues without altering your statusline.

Question 3

Why isn't modicator.nvim changing colors in my setup?

Accepted Answer

First, verify that termguicolors, cursorline, and number are enabled. Also, ensure your colorscheme loads before Modicator, as it relies on CursorLineNr's default foreground color for Normal mode highlights.

Question 4

How to customize highlights for each mode in modicator.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Use the highlights configuration in the setup function to define highlight groups like NormalMode or InsertMode. Refer to Neovim's nvim_set_hl help for setting colors, bold, italic, or background properties.

Question 5

Does modicator.nvim work with marks.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but there's a known conflict where marks.nvim highlights line numbers. The README provides a fix: either change MarkSignNumHL settings or use a snippet to clear the highlight group to avoid interference.

Question 6

How to disable lualine integration in modicator.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Set integration.lualine.enabled = false in your configuration. This allows you to use custom highlight colors independently of lualine's mode sections, giving full control over the visual output.
