Braille Typing Indicator Plugin for Neovim#

A simple plugin that displays a random Braille character in your statusline that changes every time you type.

Installation#

Using a plugin manager (recommended)#

packer.nvim#

use {
  'taciturnaxolotl/daedalus',
  config = function()
    require('braille_indicator').setup()
  end
}

lazy.nvim#

{
  'taciturnaxolotl/daedalus',
  config = function()
    require('braille_indicator').setup()
  end
}

Manual installation#

1. Clone this repository to your Neovim configuration directory:

   git clone https://github.com/taciturnaxolotl/daedalus.git ~/.config/nvim/pack/plugins/start/daedalus
   

2. Add the following to your init.lua:

   require('braille_indicator').setup()
   

Configuration#

The plugin works with minimal configuration, but you can customize it:

require('braille_indicator').setup({
  update_statusline = true,  -- Automatically update the statusline
  verbose = true,            -- Show setup messages
})

Adding to your statusline#

If you're using a custom statusline setup, add the Braille indicator with:

%{v:lua.getBrailleIndicator()}

For example, with lualine:

require('lualine').setup({
  sections = {
    lualine_a = {
      function()
        return getBrailleIndicator()
      end,
      'mode'
    },
    -- other sections...
  }
})
