🖥️monitor.nvim🖥️

Never want to leave your lovely Neovim surrounding? Then monitor.nvim is the perfect plugin for you
Manage your Monitor-Setup through Neovim without leaving it ..Today!

Installation

It should be installable through all common nvim plugin-manager In addition you need to install: plenary.nvim

For example with Lazy.nvim:

    {
        "HannHank/monitor.nvim",
        dependencies = {"nvim-lua/plenary.nvim"}
    }

Usage

For now after installation the command :Monitor will be (hopefully) available in neovim. The UI is basically just a floating buffer that gets filled with the current configuration of your setup.

For example:

• With [*] you can define your display groups and group your monitors like a charm -> Same group = Same output
• [-1] stands for not configured and you can also use this to disable a connected monitor
• By moving the lines, you can adapt the left and right placement of the montiors around the primary one.
  • Above = placmenet to the left
  • Below = placement to the right So for instance, in my setup DisplayPort-0 is below my Primary Monitor and therefore to the right of eDP

Mapping

• Enter -> closes the window and active the setting
• space + t -> runs the current setting, but keeps the buffer open

Motivation

The plugin does not really solve any problem in general. I just wanted to learn how to write Neovim plugins and always used xrandr in the terminal. For me it is faster and easier to use this plugin to manage my monitors despite that there is also a bunch of graphical implementation for that, like: arandr

So I set a timer of around 2hours and wrote this plugin. The code is not very robust with a lost of regex magic and things that could be done cleaner with more time. Maybe in the future I will upate this to be more cleaner and support custom config to setup keybindings and maybe even profiles to save current configs.
