portal.nvim
A Neovim plugin that enhances navigation through location lists (jumplist, changelist, quickfix) using labelled floating windows called portals.
What is portal.nvim?
Portal.nvim is a Neovim plugin that reimagines navigation through location lists like the jumplist, changelist, and quickfix list. Instead of cycling through entries with commands like `<c-o>` and `<c-i>`, it presents locations as labelled floating windows (portals) that users can jump to directly. It solves the problem of disorienting and inefficient list traversal by providing visual context and instant access.
Neovim users who frequently work with location lists, such as developers navigating codebases, debugging with quickfix, or managing complex edit histories. It's especially valuable for those seeking more control and visibility over their navigation flow.
Developers choose Portal.nvim because it transforms a fundamental but often cumbersome aspect of Vim-style editing. Its visual portals reduce cognitive load, its extensible query system allows for precise navigation, and its seamless integration with Neovim's built-in lists and popular plugins makes it a powerful upgrade over default motions.
