Overview
In a few of my earlier articles, I demonstrated how to set up LSP, DAP, and Fuzzy Finder for Neovim, plugins to help you code faster, and also how to convert .vimrc/init.vim to init.lua. In this article, let’s explore a few niche Neovim plugins that serve very specific purposes.
For the demonstration, I am going to use the Lua-based configuration I crafted in my earlier article. Of course, you can install these plugins using Vim built-in packages support (:h package), or any other plugin managers like vim-plug.
Firenvim
Firenvim turns a browser into a Neovim client. Just click on any textarea and it will be immediately replaced by an instance of Firenvim. For those who do a lot of typing or online coding in Chrome or Firefox (currently supported browsers), you will find this plugin very useful.
Besides installing the Neovim plugin, you will also need to install the Firenvim add-on for your browser from Mozilla or Google.
