Desktop notifications from Neovim

This plugin provides implementations of the vim.notify function which use the operating system's notification facility to display native notifications. Currently only shelling out to notify-send is implemented, but other implementations can be added. Contributions are very welcome.

Installation and dependencies

First install this plugin like any other Neovim plugins. You will also need to satisfy dependencies for the particular implementation you wish to use.

Shelling out to notify-send:

Requires notify-send to be in your $PATH

Usage

You can try calling the implementation directly. Example:

lua require('desktop_notify').notify_send('Hello from Neovim')

Once you execute the above command in your running Neovim instance a notification native to your OS should open up. In practice you will probably want to overwrite the default implementation with this one.

vim.notify = require('desktop_notify').notify_send
