Nvim includes various Lua and Vim plugins or modules which may providecommands (such as :TOhtml) or modules that you can optionally require() or:packadd. The Lua ones are not part of thelua-stdlib, that is, they are notavailable from the globalvim module namespace. Some of the plugins areloaded by default while others are not loaded until requested by:packadd.

:DiffTool{left}{right}:DiffTool
Compares two directories or files side-by-side.Supports directory diffing, rename detection, and highlights changesin quickfix list.

The plugin is not loaded by default; use:packadd nvim.difftool beforeinvoking:DiffTool.

Examplegit difftool -d integration usingDiffTool command:

[difftool "nvim_difftool"]  cmd = nvim -c \"packadd nvim.difftool\" -c \"DiffTool $LOCAL $REMOTE\"[diff]  tool = nvim_difftool

open({left},{right},{opt})difftool.open()
Diff two files or directories

Nvim supports EditorConfig. When a file is opened, after runningftpluginsandFileType autocommands, Nvim searches all parent directories of that filefor ".editorconfig" files, parses them, and applies any properties that matchthe opened file. Think of it like'modeline' for an entire (recursive)directory. For more information seehttps://editorconfig.org/.

EditorConfig is enabled by default. To disable it, add to your config:

vim.g.editorconfig = false

(Vimscript:let g:editorconfig = v:false). It can also be disabledper-buffer by setting theb:editorconfig buffer-local variable tofalse.

Nvim stores the applied properties inb:editorconfig if it is notfalse.

New properties can be added by adding a new entry to the "properties" table.The table key is a property name and the value is a callback function whichaccepts the number of the buffer to be modified, the value of the property inthe.editorconfig file, and (optionally) a table containing all of the otherproperties and their values (useful for properties which depend on otherproperties). The value is always a string and must be coerced if necessary.Example:

require('editorconfig').properties.foo = function(bufnr, val, opts)  if opts.charset and opts.charset ~= "utf-8" then    error("foo can only be set when charset is utf-8", 0)  end  vim.b[bufnr].foo = valend

The following properties are supported by default:

charseteditorconfig.charset
One of"utf-8","utf-8-bom","latin1","utf-16be", or"utf-16le". Sets the'fileencoding' and'bomb' options.

end_of_lineeditorconfig.end_of_line
One of"lf","crlf", or"cr". These correspond to setting'fileformat' to "unix", "dos", or "mac", respectively.

indent_sizeeditorconfig.indent_size
A number indicating the size of a single indent. Alternatively, use the value "tab" to use the value of the tab_width property. Sets the'shiftwidth' and'softtabstop' options. If this value is not "tab" and the tab_width property is not set,'tabstop' is also set to this value.

indent_styleeditorconfig.indent_style
One of"tab" or"space". Sets the'expandtab' option.

insert_final_newlineeditorconfig.insert_final_newline
"true" or"false" to ensure the file always has a trailing newline as its last byte. Sets the'fixendofline' and'endofline' options.

max_line_lengtheditorconfig.max_line_length
A number indicating the maximum length of a single line. Sets the'textwidth' option.

rooteditorconfig.root
If "true", then stop searching for.editorconfig files in parent directories. This property must be at the top-level of the.editorconfig file (i.e. it must not be within a glob section).

spelling_languageeditorconfig.spelling_language
A code of the format ss or ss-TT, where ss is an ISO 639 language code and TT is an ISO 3166 territory identifier. Sets the'spelllang' option.

tab_widtheditorconfig.tab_width
The display size of a single tab character. Sets the'tabstop' option.

trim_trailing_whitespaceeditorconfig.trim_trailing_whitespace
When"true", trailing whitespace is automatically removed when the buffer is written.

Asks the user to download missing spellfiles. The spellfile is written tostdpath('data') .. 'site/spell' or the first writable directory in the'runtimepath'.

The plugin can be disabled by settingg:loaded_spellfile_plugin = 1.

nvim.spellfile.Opts A table with the following fields:

config({opts})spellfile.config()
Configure spellfile download options. For example:

require('nvim.spellfile').config({ url = '...' })

(nvim.spellfile.Opts?) Current config if{opts} is omitted.

get({lang})spellfile.get()
Download spellfiles for language{lang} if available.

(table?) A table with the following fields:

:[range]TOhtml{file}:TOhtml
Converts the buffer shown in the current window to HTML, opens the generatedHTML in a new split window, and saves its contents to{file}. If{file} is notgiven, a temporary file (created bytempname()) is used.

tohtml({winid},{opt})tohtml.tohtml()
Converts the buffer shown in the window{winid} to HTML and returns the output as a list of string.

(string[])

open({opts})undotree.open()
Open a window that displays a textual representation of theundo-tree.

While in the window, moving the cursor changes the undo.

Closes the window if it is already open

Load the plugin with this command:

packadd nvim.undotree

Can also be shown with:Undotree.:Undotree

(boolean?) Returns true if the window was already open, nil otherwise
