Publish Date: Sep 24 '23

1 0

Do you like Nerd fonts? but don't like going over to their site just to fetch a glyph for your pretty terminal?

Well, me too!

Introducing nerdy.nvim, a super handy plugin that lets you easily search, preview and insert all nerd font glyphs straight from neovim!

✨ Features

Fuzzy search nerd glyphs
Preview glyphs before inserting
Super lightweight
Can auto generate new icons from source

Setup

⚡ Requirements

You have installed the latest version of neovim

These two plugins are optional but highly recommended for a smoother user experience.

dressing.nvim — for prettier select UI
telescope — for fuzzy searching in list

🚀 Installation



-- Lazy
{
    '2kabhishek/nerdy.nvim',
    dependencies = {
        'stevearc/dressing.nvim',
        'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim',
    },
    cmd = 'Nerdy',
},

-- Packer
use '2kabhishek/nerdy.nvim'

💻 Usage

nerdy.nvim adds a new command Nerdy.

You can add your custom bindings for the command, the recommended keybinding is <leader>f,.

check :help nerdy for more details.

NOTE: By default there are no configured keybindings.

Fetch new icons

Running the python scripts/generator.py command will automatically fetch new icons from source and update the icons.

Behind The Code

🌈 Inspiration

I love nerd font glyphs, and I use them anywhere I can! but I was wasting a lot of time going back and forth between nerd font site and neovim, also the copy feature was super buggy for me on the site, so I made nerdy!

💡 Challenges/Learnings

Making the generated icon table with vim.ui.select was a bit tricky.
