ConMenu

Powerful but minimal context menu for neovim.

Example_1

Features

Quick and easy way to build menus & submenus with automatic hotkey bindings
Appears next to your cursor (you are probably looking there anyways!)
Context based (optionally based on the filetype or custom filter function)
Icon unicode support (via dev icons, you need patched fonts)
Configure with Vimscript or Lua

Opinionated / optional / language specific features:

Helpers for NPM projects and Lerna monorepos
Helpers for git worktree workflows

Requirements

Neovim (tested with v0.5.0)

Optional 1/2: if you want better integration with javascript ecosystem. Specifically for fromNpm and fromLerna:

vim-dispatch - For dispatching jobs in the background
jq - For parsing package.json
yarn - I'll make this configurable at some point so you can use NPM instead

Optional 2/2: git-worktree.nvim - If you are going to be using createWorktree, selectWorktree, removeWorktree.

Installation

I use Plug as a plugin manager and vimscript for my vim config, here is how I use it:

Plug 'meznaric/conmenu'

Feel free to open a pull request if you have install instructions for other systems.

Usage

Commands

" You probably only need this one
:ConMenu
" These commands are used by binds inside a menu
:ConMenuNext
:ConMenuPrevious
:ConMenuConfirm
:ConMenuClose
:ConMenuUpdateRender

Configuration

See example below if you just want a quick start.

Menu

In the documentation below Menu represents the array of MenuItems.

MenuItem

Which is defined as an array of 3 items Name, Menu or Command, and Options

Name is the name of the entry in the menu list. What you see.
Menu or command can be either another array of MenuItems
Options defines when MenuListItem is shown. If you define multiple options for example onlyTypes and onlyWorkingDirectories it will show the menu list item only when both conditions are true, not when either is true. This is optional. Menu items will be always shown if options are not defined.

Options

onlyTypes array of file types
filter global lua or vimscript function, if it returns true, menu item will be shown
onlyWorkingDirectories array of path globs. If current working directory matches any of the globs then the MenuItem will be shown.
onlyBufferPaths array of path globs. If current buffer path matches any of the globs then the MenuItem will be shown. Empty glob '', will match :new buffer.

Vimscript Reference

function! AlwaysShow()
  " Check if in the right folder, or the path is right, or whatever...
  return v:true
endfunction

let s:onlyProjectFolders = [ '/Users/otiv/Projects/*' ]
let s:onlyTsFiles = [ '*.ts' ]
let s:myFileTypes = ['typescript', 'typescriptreact']
let s:myOptions = {
  \ 'onlyTypes': s:myFileTypes,
  \ 'filter': 'AlwaysShow',
  \ 'onlyWorkingDirectories': s:onlyProjectFolders,
  \ 'onlyBufferPaths': s:onlyTsFiles,
  \ }

let s:menuItem = [name, commandOrMenu, s:myOptions]
let s:nestedMenu = [name, [s:menuItem, s:menuItem], s:myOptions]
let s:divider = ['──────────────────────────', v:null, s:myOptions]

let g:conmenu#default_menu = [menuItem, divider, menuItem, nestedMenu]

Lua Reference

function AlwaysShow()
  -- Check if in the right folder, or the path is right, or whatever...
  return true
end

local options = {
  onlyTypes = { 'typescript', 'typescriptreact' },
  onlyBufferPaths: { path1, path2 },
  onlyWorkingDirectories: { path3, path4 },
  filter = 'AlwaysShow',
}
local menuItem = {name, ":echo hey", options}
local nestedMenu = {name, {menuItem, menuItem}, options}
local divider = {'──────────────────────────', nil, options}

vim.g['conmenu#default_menu'] = { menuItem, divider, menuItem, nestedMenu }

Variables

" Default menu that opens when you execute ConMenu
let g:conmenu#default_menu = [];

" Only these keys will be bound if found in menu item name
" If you want to use numbers for shortcuts too extend this
let g:conmenu#available_bindings = 'wertyuiopasdfghlzxcvbnm';

" > is the default, but you can use - or something else.
" Note: unicode characters have different width and we do not consider this yet, so shortcut highlights will be off
" Use only normal 1 byte characters, such as `-`, `~`
let g:conmenu#cursor_character = '>';

" We use simple Popup Buffer, so NormalFloat and FloatBorder define the colors
" On top of that create a new highlight group shortcut_highlight_group
let g:conmenu#shortcut_highlight_group = 'KeyHighlight';

" This is just passed on to nvim_open_win, here are the options:
" none, single, double, rounded, solid, shadow
let g:conmenu#border = 'rounded';

" Not yet implemented
let g:conmenu#close_keys = ['q', '<esc>']
let g:conmenu#js#package_manager = 'yarn'

API

" Opens custom menu

Integrations

JavaScript integration

Requires jq so we can parse what scripts there are in package.json. There is a built in filter IsInNodeProject, that you can use to hide this menu if not inside a node project.

Use fromLerna to see a list of projects / packages
Use fromNpm to see a list of available scripts in package.json

Example

let g:conmenu#default_menu = [
  \['Scripts', ":lua require('conmenu').fromNpm()",
    \{ 'filter': 'IsInNodeProject' }],
  \['Lerna Projects', ":lua require('conmenu').fromLerna()",
    \{ 'filter': 'IsInNodeProject' }],
\]

git-worktree.nvim integration

Requires git-worktree.nvim. There are 3 methods for you to use createWorktree(), selectWorktree() and removeWorktree(). On top of that there is a built in filter "IsInGitWorktree", that you can use so this menu item is shown only when you are editing inside git repositroy.

Example

let g:conmenu#default_menu = [
  \['Git', [
    \['Status', ':Git'],
    \['Blame', ':Git blame'],
    \['Why', ':GitMessenger'],
    \['────────────────────────────'],
    \['Create Worktree', ":lua require('conmenu').createWorktree()"],
    \['Select Worktree', ":lua require('conmenu').selectWorktree()"],
    \['Remove Worktree', ":lua require('conmenu').removeWorktree()"],
    \], { 'filter': 'IsInGitWorktree' }],
  \]

Example

Here is the example of how I use, it depends on bunch of other plugins so don't expect to copy and paste as it's not going to work.

I'll try to breakdown important lines here.

Show menu item or nested menu item only in specific file types.

\['  Code Diagnostics',[
  ...
  \], { 'onlyTypes': s:javascriptTypes }],

Is IsInNodeProject and IsInGitWorktree are built in filters that you can use in combination with few helper functions explained above.

\['  Scripts', ":lua require('conmenu').fromNpm()",
  \{ 'filter': 'IsInNodeProject' }],

Shows an example of how to build a custom menu. The function itself is called from Harpoon menu item at the bottom.

function ShowHarpoonMenu()

Use this to get some ideas what you can do:

" Map <leader>m to open default menu.
noremap <silent> <leader>m :ConMenu<CR>

" Some of the menu items should only be available in javascript files
let s:javascriptTypes = ['typescriptreact', 'typescript', 'javascript', 'javascript.jsx', 'json']
" By default numbers are not bound, but we we want to bind numbers too
let g:conmenu#available_bindings = '1234567890wertyuiopasdfghlzxcvbnm'


" This generates a new menu programatically
function ShowHarpoonMenu()
  local marks = require("harpoon").get_mark_config().marks;
  local marksCount = table.maxn(marks)
  -- Default entries, that are always shown
  local menuEntries = {
    { 'Show all', ':lua require("harpoon.ui").toggle_quick_menu()' },
    { 'Add current File', ':lua require("harpoon.mark").add_file()' },
  };
  -- Add divider if we have marks
  if (marksCount > 0) then
    table.insert(menuEntries, { '────────────────────────────'})
  end

  -- Prepare navigation marks
  for i,v in ipairs(marks) do
    -- Get just the filename from entire path
    local file = string.match("/" .. v.filename, ".*/(.*)$")
    -- Add menu entry
    table.insert(menuEntries, {i .. " " .. file, "lua require('harpoon.ui').nav_file(".. i ..")"})
  end
  -- Show menu
  require('conmenu').openCustom(menuEntries)
end
END
