Question 1

How to disable tiny-glimmer animations for specific filetypes like dashboards?

Accepted Answer

Add the filetypes to the hijack_ft_disabled list in the setup configuration. For example, include 'alpha' or 'dashboard' to prevent animations in those buffers, as mentioned in the hijack_ft_disabled section.

Question 2

tiny-glimmer.nvim vs built-in vim.highlight.on_yank: which is better?

Accepted Answer

tiny-glimmer offers more animation styles and customization, while vim.highlight.on_yank is simpler and built-in. Use tiny-glimmer for advanced effects, but disable the built-in TextYankPost autocmd to avoid conflicts, as noted in the FAQ.

Question 3

How to create a custom animation effect with tiny-glimmer?

Accepted Answer

Define a custom animation in the setup's animations table with an effect function that returns colors based on progress. Refer to the custom animation example in the README for specific code on implementing custom logic.

Question 4

Why aren't my search key mappings working with Lazy Vim?

Accepted Answer

Ensure the keys property is set in the plugin specification to load mappings properly, as explained in the FAQ. This tells Lazy Vim to prioritize tiny-glimmer's keybindings for search navigation.

Question 5

Can tiny-glimmer animate undo and redo operations?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but you need to enable them in the overwrite configuration, as they are disabled by default. Set undo.enabled and redo.enabled to true and configure the animation settings accordingly.

Question 6

How to fix animations on transparent backgrounds in Neovim?

Accepted Answer

Set the transparency_color option in the setup to match your background color, which helps animations display correctly by overriding the default background for highlight effects.
