Question 1

How to install nvim-window with lazy.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Add it to your lazy.nvim config with a key binding, like in the README example: use the keys table for mapping and set config to true for automatic setup without extra code.

Question 2

nvim-window vs hop.nvim for window navigation?

Accepted Answer

nvim-window focuses on simple letter hints without live feedback, making it faster for direct jumps, while hop.nvim offers animated hinting and more features but can be heavier. Choose based on preference for simplicity vs interactivity.

Question 3

Can nvim-window show hints in the statusline?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by setting the render option to 'status' in the setup function, it renders hints to a string and calls redrawstatus, allowing integration into status or winbar lines, as demonstrated in the asciinema example.

Question 4

What if I have more than 52 windows in a tab?

Accepted Answer

The plugin supports up to 52 windows using single or double letters; beyond that, it won't function correctly, so it's not suitable for extreme multi-window workflows, as noted in the limitations.

Question 5

Is nvim-window compatible with regular Vim?

Accepted Answer

No, it requires NeoVim 0.5 or newer due to Lua API dependencies, so Vim users must stick to traditional Ctrl+W navigation or find alternative plugins.

Question 6

How to customize the hint characters in nvim-window?

Accepted Answer

In the setup function, modify the 'chars' array to include your preferred letters, as shown in the configuration section—default is a-z, but you can change it to any sequence.
