Plugins and modules included with Nvim *standard-plugin*
Nvim includes various Lua and Vim plugins or modules which may provide
commands (such as :TOhtml) or modules that you can optionally require() or
:packadd. The Lua ones are not part of the |lua-stdlib|, that is, they are not
available from the global `vim` module namespace. Some of the plugins are
loaded by default while others are not loaded until requested by |:packadd|.

Builtin plugin: dir *dir*
Nvim opens a directory listing when |:edit| is used with a directory path. The
listing is a buffer with 'filetype' set to "directory".
*g:loaded_nvim_dir_plugin*
To disable the built-in directory browser, set this before startup: >lua
vim.g.loaded_nvim_dir_plugin = 1
<
Mappings: *dir-mappings*
• - opens the parent directory of the current file or directory.
• {count}- is like -, but a count of 1 opens the current working directory,
and a higher count goes up that many levels.
Directory buffer mappings: *dir-buffer-mappings*
• <CR> opens the file or directory under the cursor.
• - opens the parent directory.
• R reloads the directory listing.
These keys map to <Plug>(nvim-dir-open), <Plug>(nvim-dir-up), and
<Plug>(nvim-dir-reload); map those to use different keys. Default mappings are
skipped when the target <Plug> mapping is already mapped. The default global and
directory-buffer "-" mappings are also skipped when "-" is already mapped.
The listing is read-only and does not modify the filesystem.
Directory buffers follow the global 'hidden' option by default. To delete them
after use: >vim
autocmd FileType directory setlocal bufhidden=delete
<
A discarded listing is rebuilt on the next visit, so the cursor starts at the
first entry instead of the one it was left on. "wipe" discards the buffer
itself, leaving no |alternate-file|; see 'bufhidden'.
Replacing the directory browser *dir-disable*
To use another directory browser for the current session, delete the
`nvim.dir` autocommand group on or after |VimEnter| and handle |FileType| "directory":
>lua
vim.api.nvim_del_augroup_by_name('nvim.dir')
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('FileType', {
pattern = 'directory',
callback = function(args)
require('my_browser').open(args.buf, vim.api.nvim_buf_get_name(args.buf))
end,
})
<
This stops the built-in directory-opening autocommands. The plugin and its
mappings remain loaded.
Define replacement keymaps explicitly, for example: >lua
vim.keymap.set('n', '-', function()
require('my_browser').open_parent()
end)
<
==============================================================================
Builtin plugin: difftool *difftool*
:DiffTool {left} {right} *:DiffTool*
Compares two directories or files side-by-side.
Supports directory diffing, rename detection, and highlights changes
in quickfix list. Replaces the built-in `nvim -d` diff mode with this interface.
The plugin is not loaded by default; use `:packadd` to activate it: >
:packadd nvim.difftool
<
Example `git difftool -d` integration using `nvim -d` replacement: >ini
[difftool "nvim_difftool"]
cmd = nvim -c \"packadd nvim.difftool\" -d \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\"
[diff]
tool = nvim_difftool
<
open({left}, {right}, {opt}) *difftool.open()*
Diff two files or directories
Parameters: ~
• {left} (`string`)
• {right} (`string`)
• {opt} (`table?`)
• {rename.detect} (`boolean`, default: `false`) Whether to
detect renames
• {rename.similarity} (`number`, default: `0.5`) Minimum
similarity for rename detection (0 to 1)
• {rename.chunk_size} (`number`, default: `4096`) Maximum
chunk size to read from files for similarity calculation
• {ignore} (`string[]`, default: `{}`) List of file patterns
to ignore (for example: `'.git', '*.log'`)
• {method} (`'auto'|'builtin'|'diffr'`, default: `auto`) Diff
method to use
• {rename} (`table`) Controls rename detection
==============================================================================
Builtin plugin: editorconfig *editorconfig*
EditorConfig is like 'modeline' for an entire (recursive) directory. When a
file is opened, after running |ftplugin|s and |FileType| autocommands, the
EditorConfig feature searches all parent directories of that file for
`.editorconfig` files, parses them, and applies their properties. For more
information see https://editorconfig.org/.
Example `.editorconfig` file: >ini
root = true
[*]
charset = utf-8
end_of_line = lf
indent_size = 4
indent_style = space
max_line_length = 42
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
[*.{diff,md}]
trim_trailing_whitespace = false
<
*g:editorconfig* *b:editorconfig*
EditorConfig is enabled by default. To disable it, add to your config: >lua
vim.g.editorconfig = false
<
(Vimscript: `let g:editorconfig = v:false`). It can also be disabled
per-buffer by setting the |b:editorconfig| buffer-local variable to `false`.
Nvim stores the applied properties in |b:editorconfig| if it is not `false`.
*editorconfig-custom-properties*
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 which
accepts the number of the buffer to be modified, the value of the property in
the `.editorconfig` file, and (optionally) a table containing all of the other
properties and their values (useful for properties which depend on other
properties). The value is always a string and must be coerced if necessary.
Example: >lua
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 = val
end
<
*editorconfig-properties*
The following properties are supported by default:
charset *editorconfig.charset*
One of `"utf-8"`, `"utf-8-bom"`, `"latin1"`, `"utf-16be"`, or
`"utf-16le"`. Sets the 'fileencoding' and 'bomb' options.
end_of_line *editorconfig.end_of_line*
One of `"lf"`, `"crlf"`, or `"cr"`. These correspond to setting
'fileformat' to "unix", "dos", or "mac", respectively.
indent_size *editorconfig.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_style *editorconfig.indent_style*
One of `"tab"` or `"space"`. Sets the 'expandtab' option.
insert_final_newline *editorconfig.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_length *editorconfig.max_line_length*
A number indicating the maximum length of a single line. Sets the
'textwidth' option.
root *editorconfig.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_language *editorconfig.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_width *editorconfig.tab_width*
The display size of a single tab character. Sets the 'tabstop' option.
trim_trailing_whitespace *editorconfig.trim_trailing_whitespace*
When `"true"`, trailing whitespace is automatically removed when the
buffer is written.
==============================================================================
Builtin plugin: spellfile *package-spellfile*
Asks the user to download missing spellfiles. The spellfile is written to
`stdpath('data') .. 'site/spell'` or the first writable directory in the
'runtimepath'.
The plugin can be disabled by setting `g:loaded_spellfile_plugin = 1`.
*nvim.spellfile.Opts*

window. Default value is "30vnew". Only used when {winid} is
nil.
• {title} (`(string|fun(bufnr:integer):string?)?`) Title of
the window. If a function, it accepts the buffer number of
the source buffer as its only argument and should return a
string.
• {winid} (`integer?`) Window id to display the tree buffer
in. If omitted, a new window is created with {command}.
Return: ~
