🎵 Introduction

NeoComposer is a Neovim plugin that streamlines macro management and execution with a customizable Status Line Component and Telescope Extension.

🎹 Features

  • View the status of your macros interactively with the status component
  • Browse, search, and manage macros using the Telescope extension
  • Delay playback to ensure proper macro execution
  • Edit macros in an interactive buffer
  • Queue, yank, and delete macros
  • Stop macros during playback

🐔 Dependencies

🥚 Optional Dependencies

🔭 Telescope

Install the Telescope Extension:

require('telescope').load_extension('macros')

Launch the Telescope extension using the Telescope macros command:

:Telescope macros
Keymap Action
yq Yank the currently selected macro, in human readable format (normal)
<cr> Queue the currently selected macro (insert, normal)
<c-d> Delete the currently selected macro (insert)
d Delete the currently selected macro

🚥 Status Line

NeoComposer provides an easy way to display the recording, playback, and delay status in your status line.

demo

require('NeoComposer.ui').status_recording()

Lualine Config:

lualine_c = {
    { require('NeoComposer.ui').status_recording },
},

For event-driven statuslines such as heirline, Neocomposer emits User autocmd events to notify the user of status changes.

User Event Trigger Data
NeoComposerRecordingSet When when starting or finishing recording a macro { recording: boolean }
NeoComposerPlayingSet When when starting or finishing playing a macro { playing: boolean }
NeoComposerDelaySet When when delay is set { delay: boolean }
{
  provider = function(self)
    return self.status or ""
  end,
  update = {
    "User",
    pattern = { "NeoComposerRecordingSet", "NeoComposerPlayingSet", "NeoComposerDelaySet" },
    callback = function(self)
      self.status = require("neocomposer.ui").status_recording()
    end
  }
}

🐢 Delay Timer

For complex macros over large counts, you can toggle a delay between macro playback using the ToggleDelay command:

:ToggleDelay

demo

💭 Popup Menu

Use the toggle_macro_menu keybind <m-q> to open the interactive popup macro menu.

🔍 Macro Preview

As you cycle your available macros with the cycle_next: <c-n> and cycle_prev: <c-p> keybinds the queued macro will be previewed in the buffer.

demo

🪄 Usage

NeoComposer designates macro number 1 as queued for quick access and execution.

Function Keymap Action
play_macro Q Plays queued macro
stop_macro cq Halts macro playback
toggle_macro_menu <m-q> Toggles popup macro menu
cycle_next <c-n> Cycles available macros forward
cycle_prev <c-p> Cycles available macros backward
toggle_record q Starts recording, press again to end recording
yank_macro yq Yank the currently selected macro, in human readable format into the default register

Edit your macros in a more comprehensive way with the EditMacros command:

:EditMacros

Clear the list of macros with the ClearNeoComposer command:

:ClearNeoComposer

📦 Installation

  1. Install via your favorite package manager.
