NeatNotes.nvim

A Neovim plugin for efficiently capturing and organizing code snippets and notes directly from your editor.

What problem it solves?

When reviewing code in a project, it's often helpful to take notes with comments and explanations about the code’s functionality. However, manually copying code into a separate file for note-taking can be tedious, and it’s easy to lose context and references in the process.

Introducing neatnotes.nvim – a simple note-taking plugin that automatically creates a dedicated note file for your project. It inserts the selected code snippet with references to the file and line numbers in a clean, easy-to-read markdown format.

Features

• Take notes from visually selected code
• Floating window support
• Automatic language detection for syntax highlighting
• Reference tracking with file paths and line numbers

Installation

Using lazy.nvim

{
    "guglielmobartelloni/neatnotes.nvim",
    config = function()
        require("neatnotes").setup()
    end
}

Using packer.nvim

use {
    'guglielmobartelloni/neatnotes.nvim',
