Question 1

How do I install nvim-toggler using packer.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Add 'use { "nguyenvukhang/nvim-toggler" }' to your packer configuration, then run 'require("nvim-toggler").setup()' in your init.lua. The README provides clear examples for installation with packer and vim-plug.

Question 2

Can I define my own word inverses in nvim-toggler?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can define custom inverse pairs in the setup() function using the 'inverses' table. For example, add '["vim"] = "emacs"' to toggle between these words. The plugin supports extensive customization as shown in the README.

Question 3

How does nvim-toggler compare to other toggle plugins like toggle-bool?

Accepted Answer

nvim-toggler is more general-purpose, allowing any word pairs, while toggle-bool might focus specifically on boolean values. nvim-toggler's pure Lua implementation and customization options make it flexible, but it may lack specialized features for code-specific toggling.

Question 4

How to set a custom keymap for toggling in nvim-toggler?

Accepted Answer

Use 'vim.keymap.set({ "n", "v" }, "<leader>cl", require("nvim-toggler").toggle)' in your init.lua to map toggling to a different key. The README demonstrates this for normal and visual modes.

Question 5

Does nvim-toggler support toggling in visual mode?

Accepted Answer

Yes, nvim-toggler supports toggling in visual mode through custom keymaps. By default, the toggle function can be mapped to work in both normal and visual modes, as indicated in the keymap configuration examples.

Question 6

Is nvim-toggler only for Neovim or does it work with Vim?

Accepted Answer

nvim-toggler is built specifically for Neovim and requires Lua support, so it is not compatible with standard Vim or other editors. The README confirms it's a Neovim plugin with pure Lua implementation.

Question 7

How to disable the default inverses in nvim-toggler?

Accepted Answer

Set 'remove_default_inverses = true' in the setup() function to strip the default inverse pairs. This allows for a clean slate where only your custom mappings are active, as described in the configuration options.
