pair.nvim

Pair programming plugin for neovim written in Lua using Vim client-server communication.

Warning

This plugin demonstrates collaborative programming in neovim as a concept. I plan to create a more reliable version at some point in the future. Any contributions are welcome.

Features

pair.nvim starts a peer-to-peer "server" (:PairServer) and "client" (:PairClient) for the current buffer.

• Sync changed text in buffer
• Display changed cursor position in remote
• Display visual selection in remote

requests are discarded if the buffer (require("pair").bufnr) buffer is removed from the window. Sharing can be completely stopped with :PairStop and then resumed from any buffer.

Installation

Using lazy.nvim

return {
    "skeletony007/pair.nvim",

    config = true,
}

Setup

local pair = require("pair")

Defaults

pair.setup({
    -- named pipe or socket address (see `:help remote`)
    server_addr = os.getenv("HOME") .. "/.cache/nvim/pair-server.pipe",
    client_addr = os.getenv("HOME") .. "/.cache/nvim/pair-client.pipe",

    virtual_cursor_blame_prefix = " remote ",
})
