Elastic Tabstops for Neovim
This is a hack implementation of Elastic Tabstops for Neovim.
It's a hack because:
- I couldn't find a way to get the "rendered line" and Neovim adds a different spacing for tabs. Then I took advantage of setting
lcs-tab
as nil then Neovim always render it as^I
. - The plugin hides the
^I
with an overlay extmark and then add the dynamic spacing using an inline extmark. - The extmarks are build on every change. I might improve this later if needed.
Check :help api-extended-marks
for more information about extmarks
