Compile-Mode

My own implementation of Emac's Compilation Mode in Neovim. This implementation is based on the one made by libzfran's

Showcase

o.mp4

Functionality

Contains 3 functions:

:Compile [args]

Calls a temporary buffer that executes the arguments its given. If no args is provided you will get nice prompt.

:Recompile

Re-executes the last arguments passed to the Compile command.

:ToggleCompileSplit

By default, the window of the temporary buffer spawns vertically. Running this will toggle it between horizontal and vertical window.

In compilation buffer <file>:<line>:<character> pattern is highlighted when you hover your cursor over it and press enter, the <file> will be oppened and you cursor will be placed on the character referenced by this pattern.

📝 Note: if you have multiple buffers oppened in split the file will be oppened in the first not compilation-mode buffer it will find. If you have only one buffer oppened the new one will be created and placed in vertical split.

Installation

Simply add using your favorite package manager:

-- lazy.nvim
return {
    "ring0-rootkit/compile-mode.nvim",
    config function()
        local compile = require("compile-mode")
        compile.setup({
            -- DEFAULT; no need to include these.
            vertical_split = true,
            save_args = true,
        })
        vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>c", compile.compile_setup)
        vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>r", compile.compile)
    end,
}
