nvim-training
This code implements a Neovim Plugin for training your muscle memory.
This plugin fills a gap I have noticed during interaction with vim: Knowing is half the battle, executing another entirely. This plugin aims to help with the latter. Basic familiarity with vim is assumed.
A training session consists of a series of tasks, each of which is small and easily repeatable. The plugin will recognize when a task is completed and automatically start the next one. This helps to work on a lot of tasks in a short amount of time.
I consider this project mature enough for daily use. I will expand it as I see fit, which might include months of inactivity. I will respond to issues quickly, including requests for new features.
I will attempt to ship breaking changes to public interfaces in such a way that they are done "all/many at once". I consider this to be the best option for minimizing disruptions.
Some stats of current tasks
- Supported Tasks: 54
- Supported Tasks-Collections: 5
- Supported Schedulers: 3
Some of the tags are currently inconsistent, this is under way to be fixed.
In Action
Installation
Install it using the plugin manager of your choice. Lazy is tested, if any other fails, please open an issue. Pinning your local installation to a fixed version is encouraged. In Lazy, a possible setup might be:
local lazy = require("lazy")
local plugin_list = {
-- Your various other plugins ..
{"https://github.com/Weyaaron/nvim-training", pin= true, opts = {}}
-- Support for configuration with opts is included, see below for the options
}
lazy.setup(plugin_list)
Commands
This plugin uses subcommands of Training to activate certain functions.
All of these commands support completion, just use Tab and you will be fine.
Currently, these are the available options:
| Name | Syntax | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Start | :Training Start [Scheduler] [Task-Collection A] [Task Collection B] ... | Starts a session with the choosen scheduler and the choosen task collections. Both arguments are optional. |
| Stop | :Training Stop | Stops a session. |
| Analyze | :Training Analyze | Prints some statistics about your progress. |
Some care is taken to avoid overwritting your files, but just to be safe you may start in an empty buffer/directory.

Configuration
A interface for configuration is provided. These are the default values if you do not change anything yourself.
local training = require("nvim-training")
training.configure({ -- All of these options work for 'opts' of lazy as well.
audio_feedback = true, -- Enables/Disables audio feedback, if enabled, requires the 'sox' package providing the 'play' command.
base_path = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/nvim-training/", -- The path used to store events.
counter_bounds = { 1, 5 }, --The outer bounds for counters used in some tasks. WARNING: A high value may result in glitchy behaviour.
custom_collections = {}, -- A table of tables containing names of tasks, for details read on.
enable_counters = true, -- Enables/Disables counters in tasks that support counters.
enable_events = true, -- Enables/Disables events.
enable_highlights = true, --Enables/Disables highlights. Care is taken to ensure that tasks are possible without them.
logging_args = {
log_path = vim.fn.stdpath("log") .. "/nvim-training/" .. os.date("%Y-%M-%d") .. ".log",
display_logs = false, --Enables/Disables wether messages with the level 'log' should be printed. WARNING: Enabling his produces a lot of noise, but might be usefull for developers.
display_warnings = true, --Enables/Disables wether messages with the level 'warning' should be printed.
skip_all = false, -- Enables/Disables logging entirely. Usefull if you are worried about saving disk space.
},
possible_marks_list = { "a", "b", "c", "r", "s", "t", "d", "n", "e" }, -- A list of possible marks.
possible_register_list = { "a", "b", "c", "r", "s", "t", "d", "n", "e" }, -- A list of possible registers.
scheduler_args = { repetitions = 5 }, --These args are used to configure all the available schedulers
task_alphabet = "ABCDEFGabddefg,.", -- The alphabet of targets used in tasks like f,t etc.
})
Custom Collections
To add a custom collection, please use its name as a key for a list of task names in the config, for example like this:
local training = require("nvim-training")
training.configure({
-- .. your other configs ...
custom_collections = { MyCollection = { "MoveWord", "MoveWORD"}}
})
You may provide as many collections as you wish, they will be available in autocompletion.
Goals
- Ease of use. Starting a session should be seamless. The UI should not get in the way.
- Fast and flow-inducing. There should be no waiting time/friction between tasks.
- (Eventually) Community-driven. Adding new tasks is encouraged, both by providing the interfaces and the documentation required.
- Customizable. Task should be switched on and off with ease, and the difficulty should be adjustable.
Non-Goals
- Implement puzzles. A solution to the current task should be obvious and small, at most a few keystrokes on a vanilla setup.
- Competing with others. Your progress matters to you, not to others.
- Provide help/guides on how to solve a particular task. Basic familiarity with vim is assumed.
- Constrain the user on how to solve a particular task.
- Support for everyones personal setup. Some settings may mess up some tasks, support for these cases is limited. I try to accomodate about 80% of the users and will decide each upcoming case on its own.
