tree-climber.nvim
A Neovim plugin for easy navigation and manipulation of Tree-sitter syntax trees, including comments and multi-language files.
What is tree-climber.nvim?
tree-climber.nvim is a Neovim plugin that enables navigation and manipulation of Tree-sitter syntax trees. It solves the problem of moving through code structures efficiently by providing motions to jump between nodes (parent, child, siblings) and swap nodes, even in comments and multi-language files.
Neovim users who work with Tree-sitter and want enhanced code navigation and editing capabilities, particularly those dealing with complex or multi-language codebases.
Developers choose tree-climber.nvim for its abstract tree navigation that works across languages without per-type configurations, support for comments and multi-language files, and intuitive node swapping and selection features.
Overview
tree-climber.nvim is a Neovim plugin that provides intuitive motions for navigating and manipulating the syntax tree generated by Tree-sitter. It enables developers to move between nodes (parent, child, siblings) and swap neighboring nodes directly within the abstract syntax tree, enhancing code editing efficiency.
Key Features
- Tree Navigation — Jump to parent, child, next sibling, and previous sibling nodes within the Tree-sitter syntax tree.
- Node Swapping — Swap neighboring nodes to quickly restructure code.
- Node Selection — Select nodes as text objects using a mapping like
infor "inner node." - Multi-Language Support — Works across multi-language files and within comments, unlike some alternatives.
- Depth Preservation — Maintains tree depth between jumps, allowing easy return to previous positions.
- Single-Child Squashing — Simplifies navigation by collapsing parents with only one child.
Philosophy
tree-climber.nvim aims to provide a unified, abstract way to navigate Tree-sitter trees without requiring per-language configurations, making it a versatile tool for code editing.
