Install

Recommend using Lazy.nvim for installation, but you can still use another plugin manager you prefer.

Lazy.nvim

{ "mistricky/codesnap.nvim", build = "make", version = "^1" },

Build manually

Since v0.0.1 was released, the CodeSnap.nvim will cross-compile for the following three targets, then the CodeSnap.nvim will automatically determine which package to use based on your system, you no longer need to have Rust environment if everything goes smoothly.

x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
x86_64-apple-darwin
aarch64-apple-darwin

If CodeSnap.nvim on your system still not works fine, there are a lot of reasons depending on your system arch or OS version, well you can try to build CodeSnap manually using the following config:

{ "mistricky/codesnap.nvim", build = "make build_generator", version = "^1" },

Usage

CodeSnap.nvim provides the following two ways to take snapshots of currently selected code

Copy into the clipboard

To take a beautiful snapshot use CodeSnap.nvim, you can just use CodeSnap command to generate a snapshot of the current selected code, then the CodeSnap.nvim will write the snapshot into the clipboard, and you can paste it anywhere you want.

})

Watermark is something that makes screenshots more personalized, but if you don't like watermark just set it as empty string to hide it.

require("codesnap").setup({
  -- ...
  watermark: ""
})

Commands

CodeSnap # Take a snapshot of the currently selected code and copy the snapshot into the clipboard

CodeSnapSave # Save the snapshot of the currently selected code and save it on the disk

require("codesnap").setup({...})
