## Features

- Show and manage special floating window displaying automatically updated overview of current buffer text. Window takes up whole height of Neovim instance and is fixed to a left/right side. Map content is computed by taking all current lines, converting it to binary whitespace/non-whitespace mask, rescaling to appropriate dimensions, and converting back to strings consisting from special encoding symbols. All this is done **very fast** and **asynchronously**.

    See `:h MiniMap.open()`, `:h MiniMap.refresh()`, `:h MiniMap.close()`, `:h MiniMap.toggle()`, `:h MiniMap.toggle_side()`.

    For a general overview and tips, see `:h mini.map-usage`.

- Show scrollbar next to map content. It represents current line and view (top and bottom visible lines). Can be the only thing shown, making map window a "pure scrollbar".

- Highlight map lines representing certain data in current buffer. This is done via extensible set of callables, called integrations. There are pre-built generators for common integrations:

    - Builtin search.

    - Builtin diagnostic.

    - General diff hunks provided by ['mini.diff'](https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/blob/main/readmes/mini-diff.md).

    - Hunks provided by ['lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim'](https://github.com/lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim).

    For more details see `:h MiniMap.gen_integration`.

- Focus on map window to quickly browse current (source) buffer. Moving inside map window updates cursor position in source window enabling fast and targeted buffer exploration. To focus back, hit `` to accept current explored position or `` to go back to original position. See `:h MiniMap.toggle_focus()`.

- Customizable:

    - Encoding symbols used to display binary information of different resolution (default is 3x2). There are pre-built generators for different basic character families and resolutions. See `:h MiniMap.gen_encode_symbols`.

    - Scrollbar symbols, separate for line and view. Can have any width (even zero, which virtually disables scrollbar).

    - Integrations producing map line highlights.

    - Window options: side (left/right), width, 'winblend', and more.

## Installation

This plugin can be installed as part of 'mini.nvim' library (**recommended**) or as a standalone Git repository.

There are two branches to install from:

- `main` (default, **recommended**) will have latest development version of plugin. All changes since last stable release should be perceived as being in beta testing phase (meaning they already passed alpha-testing and are moderately settled).

- `stable` will be updated only upon releases with code tested during public beta-testing phase in `main` branch.

Here are code snippets for some common installation methods (use only one):

**Important**: don't forget to call `require('mini.map').setup()` to enable its functionality.

**Note**: if you are on Windows, there might be problems with too long file paths (like `error: unable to create file : Filename too long`). Try doing one of the following:

- Enable corresponding git global config value: `git config --system core.longpaths true`. Then try to reinstall.

- Install plugin in other place with shorter path.

## Default config

```lua

-- No need to copy this inside `setup()`. Will be used automatically.

{

  -- Highlight integrations (none by default)

  integrations = nil,

  -- Symbols used to display data

  symbols = {

    -- Encode symbols. See `:h MiniMap.config` for specification and

    -- `:h MiniMap.gen_encode_symbols` for pre-built ones.

    -- Default: solid blocks with 3x2 resolution.

    encode = nil,

    -- Scrollbar parts for view and line. Use empty string to disable any.

    scroll_line = '█',

    scroll_view = '┃',

  },

  -- Window options

  window = {

    -- Whether window is focusable in normal way (with `wincmd` or mouse)

    focusable = false,

    -- Side to stick ('left' or 'right')

    side = 'right',

    -- Whether to show count of multiple integration highlights

    show_integration_count = true,

    -- Total width

    width = 10,

    -- Value of 'winblend' option

    winblend = 25,

    -- Z-index

    zindex = 10,

  },

}

```
