Codeshot can be installed using any package manager. Here is an example of installation using lazy.nvim:
require("lazy").setup({
{
"Ofadiman/nvim-codeshot",
-- Install latest chrome browser required for puppeteer.
build = ":lua require('nvim-codeshot').install()"
},
})After installation, you can configure a keyboard shortcut that invokes the screenshot command.
vim.keymap.set("v", "<leader>ua", function()
vim.cmd(":CodeshotScreenshot")
end, { noremap = true, silent = true, nowait = true })require("nvim-codeshot").setup({
-- Setting this option to `true` will cause the screenshot to contain the path to the file where the screenshot was taken.
breadcrumbs = true,
padding = {
-- Allows to configure the amount of horizontal padding.
horizontal = 10,
-- Allows to configure the amount of vertical padding.
vertical = 10,
},
html = {
-- Allows to completely override default html template used for generating screenshots.
template = "",
-- Allows to add a watermark to the page that renders the code.
watermark = "",
-- Allows to add additional styles to the page that renders the code.
styles = "",
},
whitespace = {
-- Setting this option to `false` will result in the extra whitespace not being removed from the code at screenshot time.
trim = true,
-- Allows to set the indentation width for code that uses tabs for indentations.
tab_width = 2,
},
output = {
-- Setting this option to `true` will cause the screenshot to be saved to the file system. Screenshot by default is only copied to clipboard.
enable = false,
-- Path to the folder with screenshots.
directory = "~/.codeshot",
-- Allows to format screenshot filename using lua function. Screenshot file names will by default follow `filename.extension` format (e.g. `readme.md.png`).
-- For example, if you want to have `readme.md_2024_05_26_13:22:06.png` filename format, you have to add custom formatting function that would look like this:
-- formatter = function(filename)
-- return filename .. "_" .. os.date("%Y_%m_%d_%H:%M:%S")
-- end,
formatter = function(filename)
return filename
end,
},
clipboard = {
-- Setting this option to `false` will cause the screenshot not being copied to the clipboard.
enable = true,
-- Allows to configure command which will be used to copy image to clipboard. The plugin currently supports the following clipboard managers:
-- * xclip (command: `xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png -i %s`)
-- If you are using unlisted clipboard manager you have to configure the script used to copy the image by yourself.
command = nil,
},
-- Allows to configure theme used for making screenshots. The full list of themes is available here: https://shiki.style/themes
theme = "catppuccin-mocha",
-- Allows to configure screenshot extension. Currently supported extensions are `webp`, `jpeg` and `png`.
extension = "png",
-- Allows to customize screenshot scale.
scale = 3,
aliases = {
-- Allows to set language aliases so that, for example, files with extension `.ofa` are treated as files with extension `.js` when taking a screenshot. Available language aliases: https://shiki.style/languages
languages = nil,
-- Allows to set file aliases so that, for example, files without extension (like Makefile) can be interpreted correctly when taking a screenshot. Available language aliases: https://shiki.style/languages
files = nil,
},
