nvim-ccutil

A colour column setter for nvim.

Setup

Using lazy.nvim

{
  "MaggieLostKeys/nvim-ccutil",
  event = {"BufEnter", "BufAdd"},
},

Config

Default column width

To change the default column width all languages that do not have an override will use, add a default_width property to your opts. Keep in mind that the value needs to be a string:

{
  "MaggieLostKeys/nvim-ccutil",
  event = {"BufEnter", "BufAdd"},
  opts = {
    default_width = "100", -- default: 80
  }
},

If you want to default to no colour column, set default_width to "".

Column offset

By default, the colour column marks the last allowed column. You can offset the column by one by simply setting the column_marks_limit property to true. The column now marks the first past-the-end column.

{
  "MaggieLostKeys/nvim-ccutil",
  event = {"BufEnter", "BufAdd"},
  opts = {
    column_marks_limit = true, -- default: false
  }
},

Overriding a buffer type

If you want to set a custom column width for a specific language or buffer type, add a type_override table containing type-width-key pairs. To remove the colour column for a specific buffer type, set its width to "":

{
  "MaggieLostKeys/nvim-ccutil",
  event = {"BufEnter", "BufAdd"},
  opts = {
    type_overrides = {
      swift = "120",
      markdown = "200",
      text = "", -- no column in text files
    },
  }
},

This plugin provides the CCUtilGetCurrentBufferType command to print the current buffer type.
