Currently supported linters are\n[write-good](https://github.com/btford/write-good) and\n[vale](https://vale.sh).  Check their docs for installation and configuration\nguidelines.\n\nOh, and you need Vim9 of course.\n\n\n## Usage\nVim-writegood has only one command:\n\n```\n:WriteGoodToggle\n```\nwhich is used to turn on and off the linter.\n\nThe diagnostic messages are stored in the quickfix list and displayed in the\ncommand-line.\u003ccr\u003e\nYou can use all the quickfix list features such as `:cnext,\n:cprev, :copen`, etc. to conveniently move around.\nSee `:h quickfix` for more info.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe quickfix list automatically updates  \"on save\", i.e.  you must save your\nfile to refresh the linting otherwise you won't see your problems to\ndisappear.\n\n\u003e**Warning**\n\u003e\n\u003e When you change (or come back to a previous) buffer, you have to manually\n\u003e re-enable the linting. Don't be fooled if the highlight is still on!\n\u003e To fix it, run `:WriteGoodToggle` once or twice, that's all.\n\n\n## Configuration\nThere are few parameters that you can tweak:\n```\n# Default values\ng:writegood_compiler = \"writegood\" # Can be \"writegood\" or \"vale\".\ng:writegood_options = \"\" # CLI options to append to write-good call\ng:writegood_linehl = \"CursorLine\"\ng:writegood_text = \"--\"\ng:writegood_texthl = \"\"\n```\nTo figure out the meaning of the latter three parameters, check `:h\nsign_define()` and to figure out possible values type `:highlight`.\n\n## Contributing\nFeel free to send a PR if have any improvement ideas.\n\n## License\nBSD3-Clause.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fubaldot%2Fvim-writegood","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fubaldot%2Fvim-writegood","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fubaldot%2Fvim-writegood/lists"}
