markdowny.nvim

Neovim plugin for markdown like keybindings. Similar to notion, discord, slack etc

Install

-- packer
use {
    'antonk52/markdowny.nvim',
    config = function()
        require('markdowny').setup()
    end
}

require('markdowny').setup()

-- lazy.nvim
{
    'antonk52/markdowny.nvim'
    config = function()
        require('markdowny').setup()
    end
}

Setup Options

• filetypes a table of filetypes to add markdowny keymaps. Default {'markdown'}

require('markdowny').setup({filetypes = {'markdown', 'txt'}})

Keymaps

All in visual mode

• <C-k> add link to visually selected text
• <C-b> toggle visually selected text bold
• <C-i> toggle visually selected text italic

Custom setup

Alternatively to default keymaps you can use custom keymaps. Make sure to keymap to a string, not lua function. Defaults

vim.keymap.set('v', '<C-b>', ":lua require('markdowny').bold()<cr>", { buffer = 0 })
vim.keymap.set('v', '<C-i>', ":lua require('markdowny').italic()<cr>", { buffer = 0 })
vim.keymap.set('v', '<C-k>', ":lua require('markdowny').link()<cr>", { buffer = 0 })

Acknowledgments

This plugin uses vim.ui.input to prompt for link's href, to have it in a floating window, like in the demo above, you can use dressing.nvim.
