nvim-navic
A Neovim plugin that displays your current code context in the statusline or winbar using LSP.
What is nvim-navic?
nvim-navic is a lightweight Neovim plugin that integrates with the Language Server Protocol (LSP) to display a breadcrumb trail of the current code location. It shows symbols like classes, methods, and variables directly in the statusline or winbar, helping developers understand their position within complex codebases. It provides IDE-like navigation context by leveraging Neovim's built-in LSP capabilities.
Neovim users who work with LSP-enabled languages and want enhanced code navigation context, particularly those using statusline plugins like lualine, feline, or galaxyline, or Neovim's native statusline/winbar.
Developers choose nvim-navic for its accurate, LSP-powered symbol detection, high customizability, and seamless integration with popular Neovim statusline plugins. Its focus on being a simple, unobtrusive component with performance optimizations for large files distinguishes it from more complex alternatives.
