*mini.indentscope* Visualize and work with indent scope

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*MiniIndentscope*

Indent scope (or just "scope") is a maximum set of consecutive lines which

contains certain reference line (cursor line by default) and every member

has indent not less than certain reference indent ("indent at cursor" by

default: minimum between cursor column and indent of cursor line).

Features:

- Visualize scope with animated vertical line. It is very fast and done

automatically in a non-blocking way (other operations can be performed,

like moving cursor). You can customize debounce delay and animation rule.

- Customization of scope computation options can be done on global level

(in |MiniIndentscope.config|), for a certain buffer (using

`vim.b.miniindentscope_config` buffer variable), or within a call (using

`opts` variable in |MiniIndentscope.get_scope()|).

- Customizable notion of a border: which adjacent lines with strictly lower

indent are recognized as such. This is useful for a certain filetypes

(for example, Python or plain text).

- Customizable way of line to be considered "border first". This is useful

if you want to place cursor on function header and get scope of its body.

- There are textobjects and motions to operate on scope. Support |count|

and dot-repeat (in operator pending mode).

# Setup ~

This module needs a setup with `require('mini.indentscope').setup({})`

(replace `{}` with your `config` table). It will create global Lua table

`MiniIndentscope` which you can use for scripting or manually (with `:lua

MiniIndentscope.*`).

See |MiniIndentscope.config| for available config settings.

You can override runtime config settings locally to buffer inside

`vim.b.miniindentscope_config` which should have same structure as

`MiniIndentscope.config`. See |mini.nvim-buffer-local-config| for more

details.

# Comparisons ~

- [lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim](https://github.com/lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim):

- Its main functionality is about showing static guides of indent levels.

- Implementation of 'mini.indentscope' is similar to

'indent-blankline.nvim' (using |extmarks| on first column to be shown

even on blank lines). They can be used simultaneously, but it will

lead to one of the visualizations being on top (hiding) of another.

# Highlight groups ~

- `MiniIndentscopeSymbol` - symbol showing on every line of scope if its

indent is multiple of 'shiftwidth'.

- `MiniIndentscopeSymbolOff` - symbol showing on every line of scope if its

indent is not multiple of 'shiftwidth'.

Default: links to `MiniIndentscopeSymbol`.

To change any highlight group, set it directly with |nvim_set_hl()|.

# Disabling ~

To disable autodrawing, set `vim.g.miniindentscope_disable` (globally) or

`vim.b.miniindentscope_disable` (for a buffer) to `true`. Considering high

number of different scenarios and customization intentions, writing exact

rules for disabling module's functionality is left to user. See

|mini.nvim-disabling-recipes| for common recipes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*MiniIndentscope-drawing*

Draw of scope indicator is done as iterative animation. It has the

following design:

- Draw indicator on origin line (where cursor is at) immediately. Indicator

is visualized as `MiniIndentscope.config.symbol` placed to the right of

scope's border indent. This creates a line from top to bottom scope edges.

- Draw upward and downward concurrently per one line. Progression by one

line in both direction is considered to be one step of animation.

- Before each step wait certain amount of time, which is decided by

"animation function". It takes next and total step numbers (both are one

or bigger) and returns number of milliseconds to wait before drawing next

step. Comparing to a more popular "easing functions" in animation (input:

duration since animation start; output: percent of animation done), it is

a discrete inverse version of its derivative. Such interface proved to be

more appropriate for kind of task at hand.

# Special cases ~

- When scope to be drawn intersects (same indent, ranges overlap) currently

visible one (at process or finished drawing), drawing is done immediately

without animation. With most common example being typing new text, this

feels more natural.

- Scope for the whole buffer is not drawn as it is isually redundant.

Technically, it can be thought as drawn at column 0 (because border

indent is -1) which is not visible.

*MiniIndentscope.setup()*

`MiniIndentscope.setup`({config})

Module setup

Parameters ~

{config} `(table|nil)` Module config table. See |MiniIndentscope.config|.

Usage ~

>lua

`MiniIndentscope.config`

Defaults ~

>lua

MiniIndentscope.config = {

-- Draw options

draw = {

-- Delay (in ms) between event and start of drawing scope indicator

delay = 100,

-- Animation rule for scope's first drawing. A function which, given

-- next and total step numbers, returns wait time (in ms). See

-- |MiniIndentscope.gen_animation| for builtin options. To disable

-- animation, use `require('mini.indentscope').gen_animation.none()`.

animation = --<function: implements constant 20ms between steps>,

symbol = '╎',

}

# Options ~

## Border ~

Field `border` controls which line(s) with smaller indent to categorize

as border. This matters for textobjects and motions.

It also controls how empty lines are treated: they are included in scope

only if followed by a border. Another way of looking at it is that indent

of blank line is computed based on value of `border` option.

Here is an illustration of how `border` works in presence of empty lines: >

1|function foo() | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

2| | 4 | 0 | 4 | 0 |

3| print('Hello world') | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |

4| | 4 | 4 | 2 | 2 |

5| end | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |

Numbers inside a table are indent values of a line computed with certain

value of `border`. So, for example, a scope with reference line 3 and

right-most column has body range depending on value of `border` option:

- `border` is "both": range is 2-4, border is 1 and 5 with indent 2.

- `border` is "top": range is 2-3, border is 1 with indent 0.

- `border` is "bottom": range is 3-4, border is 5 with indent 0.

- `border` is "none": range is 3-3, border is empty with indent `nil`.

## Indent at cursor ~

Field `indent_at_cursor` controls if cursor position should affect computation

of scope. If `true`, reference indent is a minimum of reference line's indent

and cursor column. In main example, here how scope's body range differs

depending on cursor column and `indent_at_cursor` value (assuming cursor is

on line 3 and it is whole buffer): >

Column\Option true|false

1 and 2 2-5 | 2-4

3 and more 2-4 | 2-4

## Number of lines ~

Field `n_lines` defines |MiniIndentscope.get_scope()| behavior for how many

lines above/below to check before iteration is stopped. Scope that reached

computation limit has <is_incomplete> field set to `true`. It will also not

be auto drawn with default `config.draw.predicate`.

Lower values will result in better overall performance in exchange for more

frequent incomplete scope computation. Set to `math.huge` for no restriction.

## Try as border ~

Field `try_as_border` controls how to act when input line can be recognized

as a border of some neighbor indent scope. In main example, when input line

is 1 and can be recognized as border for inner scope, value `try_as_border=true`

means that inner scope will be returned. Similar, for input line 5 inner scope

will be returned if it is recognized as border.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*MiniIndentscope.get_scope()*

`MiniIndentscope.get_scope`({line}, {col}, {opts})

Compute indent scope

Indent scope (or just "scope") is a maximum set of consecutive lines which

contains certain reference line (cursor line by default) and every member

has indent not less than certain reference indent ("indent at column" by

default). Here "indent at column" means minimum between input column value

and indent of reference line. When using cursor column, this allows for a

useful interactive view of nested indent scopes by making horizontal

movements within line.

Options controlling actual computation is taken from these places in order:

- Argument `opts`. Use it to ensure independence from other sources.

- Buffer local variable `vim.b.miniindentscope_config` (`options` field).

Useful to define local behavior (for example, for a certain filetype).

- Global options from |MiniIndentscope.config|.

# Algorithm overview ~

- Compute reference "indent at column". Reference line is an input `line`

which might be modified to one of its neighbors if `try_as_border` option

is `true`: if it can be viewed as border of some neighbor scope, it will.

- Process upwards and downwards from reference line searching for line with

indent strictly less than reference one. This is like casting rays up and

down from reference line and reference indent until meeting "a wall"

(character to the right of indent or buffer edge). Latest line before

meeting a wall is a respective end of scope body. It always exists because

reference line is a such one.

Casting ray is forced to stop if it goes over `opts.n_lines` lines.

- Based on top and bottom lines with strictly lower indent, construct

scopes's border. The way it is computed is decided based on `border`

option (see |MiniIndentscope.config| for more information).

- Compute border indent as maximum indent of border lines (or reference

indent minus one in case of no border). This is used during drawing

visual indicator.

# Indent computation ~

For every line indent is intended to be computed unambiguously:

- For "normal" lines indent is an output of |indent()|.

- Indent is `-1` for imaginary lines 0 and past last line.

- For blank and empty lines indent is computed based on previous

(|prevnonblank()|) and next (|nextnonblank()|) non-blank lines. The way

it is computed is decided based on `border` in order to not include blank

lines at edge of scope's body if there is no border there. See

|MiniIndentscope.config| for a details example.

Parameters ~

{line} `(number|nil)` Input line number (starts from 1). Can be modified to a

neighbor if `try_as_border` is `true`. Default: cursor line.

{col} `(number|nil)` Column number (starts from 1). Default: if

`indent_at_cursor` option is `true` - cursor column from `curswant` of

|getcurpos()| (allows for more natural behavior on empty lines);

`math.huge` otherwise in order to not incorporate cursor in computation.

{opts} `(table|nil)` Options to override global or buffer local ones (see

|MiniIndentscope.config|).

Return ~

`(table)` Table with scope information:

- <body> - table with <top> (top line of scope, inclusive), <bottom>

(bottom line of scope, inclusive), and <indent> (minimum indent within

scope) keys. Line numbers start at 1. Can also have <is_incomplete> key

set to `true` if computation was stopped due to `opts.n_lines` restriction.

- <border> - table with <top> (line of top border, might be `nil`),

<bottom> (line of bottom border, might be `nil`), and <indent> (indent

of border) keys. Line numbers start at 1.

- <buf_id> - identifier of current buffer.

- <reference> - table with <line> (reference line), <column> (reference

column), and <indent> ("indent at column") keys.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*MiniIndentscope.draw()*

`MiniIndentscope.draw`({scope}, {opts})

Draw scope manually

Scope is visualized as a vertical line within scope's body range at column

equal to border indent plus one (or body indent if border is absent).

Numbering starts from one.

Parameters ~

{scope} `(table|nil)` Scope. Default: output of |MiniIndentscope.get_scope()|

with default arguments.

{opts} `(table|nil)` Options. Currently supported:

- <animation_fun> - animation function for drawing. See

|MiniIndentscope-drawing| and |MiniIndentscope.gen_animation|.

- <priority> - priority number for visualization. See `priority` option

for |nvim_buf_set_extmark()|.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*MiniIndentscope.undraw()*

`MiniIndentscope.undraw`()

Undraw currently visible scope manually

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*MiniIndentscope.gen_animation*

`MiniIndentscope.gen_animation`

Generate builtin animation function

This is a builtin source to generate animation function for usage in

`MiniIndentscope.config.draw.animation`. Most of them are variations of

common easing functions, which provide certain type of progression for

revealing scope visual indicator.

Each field corresponds to one family of progression which can be customized

further by supplying appropriate arguments.

Examples:

- Don't use animation: `MiniIndentscope.gen_animation.none()`

- Use quadratic "out" easing with total duration of 1000 ms: >lua

gen_animation.quadratic({ easing = 'out', duration = 1000, unit = 'total' })
