nvim-docs-view
A Neovim plugin that displays LSP hover documentation in a resizable side panel for better code reference.
What is nvim-docs-view?
nvim-docs-view is a Neovim plugin that displays Language Server Protocol hover documentation in a persistent side panel instead of temporary popups. It solves the problem of documentation disappearing when moving the cursor, providing a dedicated space for reference material while coding. The plugin is inspired by VSCode's Docs View extension and brings similar functionality to the Neovim ecosystem.
Neovim users who work with LSP-enabled languages and want persistent, readable documentation access without interrupting their editing flow. Particularly valuable for developers who reference documentation frequently while coding.
Developers choose nvim-docs-view because it provides a cleaner, more persistent documentation viewing experience compared to Neovim's default hover windows. Its customizable panel positioning and update modes offer flexibility that integrates seamlessly into different workflows.
