leap-ast.nvim

Jump to, select and operate on AST nodes via the Leap interface with Tree-sitter.

Requirements

• Neovim >= 0.7.0
• leap.nvim
• nvim-treesitter (This dependency is only temporary; it will not be necessary in the future.)

Installation

Use your preferred plugin manager - no extra steps needed.

Usage

This plugin allows you to instantly select or jump to the beginning of an AST node. Add something like this to your init.lua.

vim.keymap.set({'n', 'x', 'o'}, '<space>t', function() require'leap-ast'.leap() end, {})

Then, when you're editing a file with a Tree-sitter parser enabled, type <space>t. Labels for each AST node that containing the cursor will appear. In normal mode, entering a label will take you to the beginning of the corresponding node. In visual and operator-pending mode, entering a label will select the corresponding node. This is useful for selecting quickly pieces of code based on syntax, which is usually what you want.
