Hashish.nvim

hashish.nvim embodies the feeling of nostalgia. This plugin allows you to set up your keymaps in Lua, akin to how you would in Vim.

Installation

Using lazy.nvim

  {
    'Chaitanyabsprip/hashish.nvim'
    lazy = false,
  }

Usage

hashish.nvim provides functionality for the following ways of setting keymaps: map, nmap, vmap, tmap, cmap, xmap, imap, omap, noremap, nnoremap, vnoremap, tnoremap, cnoremap, xnoremap, inoremap, onoremap.

The syntax is similar to vim's keymaps, with slight modifications.
<method> <key> <command> [options] <description>

• [options] field is optional

Example usage

  local nnoremap = require('hashish').nnoremap
  local xnoremap = require('hashish').xnoremap
  local vnoremap = require('hashish').vnoremap

  nnoremap '<leader>Q' '<cmd>qa<cr>' 'Quit all (:qa)'
  xnoremap '&' 'g_' 'Jump to the end of the line'
  vnoremap 'J' ":m '>+1<cr>gv=gv" { silent = true } 'Move selected lines down'
  vnoremap 'K' ":m '<-2<cr>gv=gv" { silent = true } 'Move selected lines up'

Format Examples

nnoremap '<leader>Q' '<cmd>qa<cr>' 'Quit all (:qa)'
<method> <key> <command> <description>

vnoremap 'J' ":m '>+1<cr>gv=gv" { silent = true } 'Move selected lines down'
<method> <key> <command> [options] <description>

Why hashish.nvim when you already have a built-in way?

I created this plugin when I transitioned from init.vim to init.lua. It has been part of my configuration ever since. At that time, the syntax for creating key mappings in Lua was quite verbose. Being new to Lua, I had to learn both the language and the Neovim API simultaneously. To simplify this process, I decided to write this plugin. It allowed me to continue creating my keymaps in the familiar way I was used to.

In essence, hashish.nvim is a product of my desire for simplicity and my laziness during my learning of Lua and Lua in Neovim.
